Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Stomach is not feeling great today so lunch is English muffins with peanut butter and honey.
I hope you feel better! Tea is usually a good option to calm things down.
 
Back when it was Drs Foster and Smith they were great. Then Petco had some relationship with them and they were decent. I haven't had a single order come that was correct. I only ordered the two fish, both were DOA. @Stang67 ordered a bunch of frozen food from LiveAquaria that came thawed and gross if I remember correctly.
Waaaay back in the day I used to use That Fish place. Not sure they are still around, if a remember correctly they had a facility on the east and west coast. They had marine biologist on staff that would answer questions for their customers.

Oh ya forgot about them.... they were the "subdivision" to That Pet Place
 
Good morning Tim! <tips hat>

I had a $200 gift certificate from Live Aquaria so I ordered two small (1"-2") Halichoeres Chyrsus. I ordered two just because I've heard horror stories about Live Aquaria. I was just going to use the gift certificate for dry goods, but then I saw the Yellow Coris were on sale. I think the delivery date is Friday. They haven't sent shipping info yet.
Love mine! What an awesome fish

I have ginger lemon tea I plan on having a cup after lunch. I know I talk a lot about coffee but I'm also a huge fan of tea and have lots and lots of flavors from an amazing company in Oregon.
 
Teach me your ways! I want to be just like Chris when I grow up!
Well, for starters, you must strive for excellence in attainment of having a disliking and disdain for most people.

Hope you're back to snuff soon. Well, not actual snuff as you'd probably not like it.

Feel better.

Thank you! See your not as grumpy as some say you are...
 
I've known of LiveAquaria for maybe 15+ years but have never ordered from them, all I knew of them was you were guaranteed a fish with some kind of disease at least that was the belief I had heard.
YOU get a disease! And YOU get a disease!
YOU get a disease!

Don't remind me, my wife's uncle used to pour a shot of vodka for us before breakfast and coffee in the am 🤢
Everyone needs that cool uncle in their life! Your lucky. Mine passed out peppermint candy. I'd almost rather have no candy than a peppermint !

It was fun for a while but quickly got old 😅
 
Funny enough, I have done that before. I ran out of hot dog buns, so I threw a hot dog inside a tortilla. Needless to say, it wasn't good.
Pro repurposing tip: Tortillas are bigger than buns, add more hot dogs. Three to four should work well.
