Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Haven't been active much. Unsure why. Tank is doing alright though. Aptasia is still in the tank and diatoms have started to get bad. Gonna take a blaster of some kind and blast it all off. Working on getting a new RODI system to stop them.
Oops. Wifi duplicated

Check pricing on new resin.

If I recall, you have the RO Buddy? I've swapped resin on mine several times when I was using it. Just make sure you get it packed down in there decently.
 
Intrigued on how they combine those. They usually have different flavor profiles.
What I usually order is Jen Red Pork - kind of a spicy Sweet and Sour pork with rice and refried beans.

They're definitely different - not true Mexican food, not true Chinese food. Spices from both, flavors from both.
 
@That Crusso Kid Hey Chris, I took your advice and had tortilla Tuesday.

Then went overboard!

Oh no, you drank Chris' Koolaid. Next thing you know it will be T* Tuesday and then, after a few years Whatever-floats-your-boat Tuesday and the next thing you know Tuesday will loose all sense of meaning and become just another day. Sad.

I might have bought in if he tried to slide Taquito Tuesday Morning in on us but no he had to go full PC with such a wide definition that even a McChicken Wrap would qualify.

I had Taquitos and a Cheese Crisp for dinner last night at Arribas.... Taquitos is simply translated as "Little Tacos" so I technically had a Little Taco Tuesday with Crispy Unfolded Larger Taco?

Probably end up Metamucil Mondays with Depends Weekends.

But, but, but you don't understand. All sense of meaning returns immediately after life loses all sense of meaning. You just got to hang in the meaningless camp for a while.

After all, isn't it all just tacos?

Funny you say that as I just started a daily regiment of Metamucil this week. Still waiting for it to kick in.
 
Good morning everyone!

I hope we all have a meaningless day or two so that we can return to what passes for normal in the not too distant future.

TACO TUESDAY, accept no substitutes.

@Üter, Paul did you move south of the equator? I have to turn my PC upside down to read you posts now.
