Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
emeralds and pithos. just the next critter in line I've never tried. I really don't want a fox face.

Pitho's have become popular lately and I've never tried them, I'm tempted, do you know if they are less likely to go after corals then Emeralds? I've had emeralds try to eat zoas before.

my pathos had never touched a coral. they live buried in the sand and come out when lights go out. then they mostly hug the glass. but they help churn the sand. I really ever see them on rocks climbing.
 
Oof, Calzones, I haven't had one in a while, that would hit the spot 🤤
We have two pizza places that are 5 minutes from me. I'm gonna have to get a calzone now.....
 
Given my line of work I'm surrounded by bacon and pork chops lol so it's hard to resist.
I cannot recall. Do you have something to do in dealing with meat processing plants?

Correct, we own practically majority of pork brands, making the products from start to finish. When I was located on site in our plant we'd go grab bacon and sausage patties off the line during QA for breakfast lol. I probably gained a good 20 lbs during that time.

That's pretty awesome you could get freshly made pork products like that
 
I will say that in April of 2010 I weighed in at 271 lbs. (i am 6'1" tall) when i started the carnivore diet. By December i was down to 200 lbs. I thought I looked good, everyone else thought I was on drugs. I have kind of leveled out at about 230. I look kind of like a younger Kevin....lol

Isn't that the one where you strictly eat meat and nothing else?

I think it's the Keto diet if I'm not mistaken... I've never had the guts to try it, I'm scared of the cholesterol involved in those.

I found only one pic of me heavy, its my passport pic when I started Kia, I was on the diet for about 3 years

We're either all bots or this is our work... R2R pays us to do this.
I am not sure if I am a bot or not. However, I am beginning to think this is all just a simulation.

Many moons ago, I sold chemicals to quite a number of meat processing plants and tanneries. I used to put Vick's Vapo-Rub in my nostrils when I had to visit the plants. Some of them made skimmate smell like a nice lunch.

There, I fixed it for you.

They took the Atkins diet and rebranded it to a fancier name. Kind of like what has happened with corals.

First one looks like you could have almost been a serial killer. Second one is more of a regular killer. Nice improvement!

Why do I have the funny feeling that someone is going to take your photos and do something "special" with them through AI?
