Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
black legged tick aka deer tick, nymph. That picture is from my phone on macro and zoomed a ton and still horrible, I had to pull it and ID it with a magnifying glass.
They are tiny, I pulled one off my brother!
 
I went and saw there acoustic version at house of blues in Orlando . It was the bomb . We became instant fans of their music . Of course at the house of blues they only had one guy on guitar and the lead singer . It was awesome 🤩
I saw them live in the harbor marina about 3 miles from my house in 2013 or 14. It was a music fest with Shinedown, The Offspring, Awolnation, Evanescence, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Wallflowers and Joe Dirt, I mean Kid Rock.
 
Are you growing them Kevin, or just feeding what you have? What's your setup for keeping them alive?
Just feeding them, they are in the fridge in the garage. They live for a few months.

That's good to know. I didnt realize they would live that long. I love feeding live food, because of how my fish react to it and love it. Im.going to be ordering some. What quantity did you go with?

That was in the 6th month span that they were broken up Kevin. Some of the band members went off and formed their own band called, "The Sun Corals"

I got a quarter pound.
 
I saw the white or reflection. We had so many here in June. Haven’t seen any since mid July. I probably over treated the property
yeah that reflection was bad. They are a scourge! It has been the worst year ever for ticks, poor dog has the seresto collar and frontline and still pulled countless numbers of them. Didn't make it to the wood tick races this year.

They only played at night?

We do the edible flea/tick pill but our dog will not walk more than 2 houses away. And she is only outside for like 5 minutes. Not sure whose dog is lazier. Mine or Kevs. All they do is sleep!

My dog hates being outside, even if we are!
 
My dog is the opposite, outside all the time. When inside at night he lays in the back room looking outside lol.
I need my dog to hang out with yours Lin!
