Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Lol, true they can. Sara really is a great cat. Hardly ever bites the hand that feeds her. And I clip her nails weekly. She gets groomed daily. I had a cat once that was a nasty piece of work. But Sara is one of our best ever.

Your cat is really beautiful by the way.

I hope Sara doesn't hide the final piece of the puzzle from you!
 
Glad you did. And glad you shared your kitty with us.

Want to trade? I have Pele, a miniature orange one. A purple and almost black miniature also. And lots of tall bearded ones.

That is impressive!
I think mine took like 4-5 years to actually establish and bloom. used to be just tall grass before that. I have tree lilies that are pretty nice. get to be about 8 feet tall and have to stake some of them. I have some Japanese dinner plate iris too that looks great now. I think another month to bloom.
 
I still miss my serial killer shrimp also. We named it Bulldozer. Since he changed our sand bed nightly.
Bulldozer is a great name. Did he cover coral with sand while bulldozing? Rice Krispies (we named because of the snap, crackle and pop we heard frequently) never moved much sand except to make a den under rocks.

Oh my gosh those are amazing! I only have a purple one with white stripes I really should add more of these beautiful flowers. Mine has already bloomed and stopped for the year.
 
I have never heard of this tradition either. Started by a bakery with a great plan to get your money. But so worth it.
I’ve never seen it outside of Youngstown, it started as an Italian thing, I think but every wedding I’ve ever been to has a cookie table coming. Most of the cookies are made by family and friends. For my daughter’s wedding last year my wife started months ahead putting them in the freezer.

I’ve never seen it outside of Youngstown as well but what a great concept .
