Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well. I got a message from the Giant Eagle about a prescription and thought it was for the prep for my probing on Friday. Turns out it was a reminder to renew my prescription for my BP medicine. She told me that she would have it filled in 15 minutes. I found myself in the liquor section alone. You bourbon drinkers got me thinking. So I asked the lady to go over some popular ones and settled on this one. Bear with me, I’ll be applying for Bourbon Times magazine as a bourbon taster and reviewer. Right off the top it’s odor and tastes indicated it was aged in white oak barrels. First taste revealed a hint of cinnamon and leather ATO and orchard off citrus fruit.sweetened with a sprinkling of vanilla wafer crumbs. The taste is caramel and cotton candy coat fresh apples, pears and citrus!

and drinking out of the family crest glass?
 
Dinner was a total success. Got plenty for another serving, either a late night snack or maybe an unusual but tasty breakfast. Washed down with Arizona Green Tea.
On a totally different note. Looks like moving wavemaker was a good one and when I was working in the tank the Chromis hid so well I was freaking out until it showed up again. It’s also been the only fish that is viable today. Not worried anymore about blenny , it been hanging back an hides well. More worried about wrasse. It’s unusual to not see it at least peeking out.
 
Kraft or Velveta?
Looks like we finished the Great Value. We have both Velveeta and Kraft. Velveeta was towards the front meaning it likely expires first so I had Velveeta. Without about 2 teaspoons of Jimmy Juice. Adds flavor for sure. Not a lot of heat in the Mac. I think we're having pizza tonight so maybe I'll give it a couple of shots of Juice.
 
In the second one gun and roses did a good job but to me Clapton with his solo made it awesome . Not to say guns and roses are not bad . I didn’t see these guys performed and they put me in a blues mood . I did see guns and roses and I did like there music .
I am not a guns and roses fan. At all.

Heck yeah Kevin! That's a good one to sip on. Do the notes of ATO show up on the finish?
 
My son put his sea hare in tank. They have to be God’s most beautiful creations!

I need one of those in the worst way right now!

Best thing ever for gha. What do you have, a 40 g? 3-4 days and there won’t be a spec of gha.
 
Im sending a shout out to @RiptideAquaculture

This was my first but not last purchase from them. Everything was packaged perfectly with a cooling pack and in a styrofoam box. The RFAs were all ultra nice and I cant believe how inexpensive they were. It seems like these guys always have a sale going too. Try em out smorgasbord!
ooo nice! will check em out for sure!
