What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

That one has 2 mouths! 👄 Wonderful. Yours are beautiful.
I am wanting one of the tiny spawned in captivity ones. Just want to watch it grow.
And now I get another club button also.
Isn’t it cool, I posted it and John said it wasn’t very common. That picture was after feeding the tank with BeneReef. Like you I love them and will probably get more when I come across one that is very unique.

It is very unique. I have to find a neighbor that can take packages for me. I will sneak them in and when hubby notices it I can just say, that old thing? Been there for years!

Are you sure your not my sister? That's the same thing I have told my husband before!!! 🤣 😂 🤣
 
Good morning John! Raw seafood is a no no for someone who is immunocompromised along with a long list of other things. I only cheat on what the temperature of my beef is, I can’t do over medium rare. Of come close to cheating on oysters over the years and even took a long hard look at them on the menu yesterday.
I dont care for them raw personally. I used to, but not anymore. Chargrilled or fried is the way to go!

I only see raw on the menus down here. What are the ones cooked in the shell with cheese and garlic, oyster Rockefeller? I’d eat that in a heartbeat if I saw it on a menu.

Usually those are just called New Orleans style. Rockefeller has the spinach and cheese, also delicious! They dont have fried oyster poboys down there!?!?!
 
I am the same way. We have one small store here and then an hour and a half away we have a petco, about 2.5 hours away there is a nice store but that's too far to go most days. Lol
I feel your pain. We do have a Petco. And a gal who works there keeps me posted on new fish. But often I drive to Fort Collins

I looked, there is one I liked. But the hubby just stared blankly when I showed him. I will keep watching them. When the temptation is to much I will pull the trigger.

He used that on me with tools and weapons. Like I wouldn't notice a new weapon in our bedroom? Silly man, that just means I get to buy something not necessarily needed. We could be sister at heart for sure.
 
Do you want me to just call you code4? The Smorg calls me Rock or Keith... your choice
I call you a number of other names but TOS.
