Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
“ We have the cow meats!” ( Amanda 😉)
For breakfast I had an omelet with 3 kinds of pig meat. Pig chunks (ham), pig strips (bacon) and ground pig (sausage). There was also onions and tomatoes and cheese in the omelet.
 
When we lived on horse property our stalls were about thirty feet from our back door and every morning at sometime between 5:00 am and maybe 5:15 am my horse would let out a loud winney to let me know I was late with his breakfast. It always worked.
They can be very impatient animals especially when it comes to feeding time. 😆
 
Good morning nerds!

And if that still doesn't work, you can hire a professional golfer from the PGA to join your team and help you! It's called the LSU!

Great choices of pig meats Amanda!
 
Got the slippers on, the only game I didn’t wear them this season was last week and my Buckeyes lost, coincidence? Me no think so!

Mantis shrimp 4 and Kevin 0. I’m begging to think that the cave dug out might not be the mantis’s. Maybe the little Timmy’s but I never see them by it.
I still say a silverside on some 15lb test is your answer Kev.
 
How's that canned gravy taste?
"Fresh
-
from a can." (this is what the waitress at a local cafe used to say about everything on the menu)

I was super skeptical cause always make my own but a friend insisted to try it, and it is surprisingly good for when you want something quick.
 
Just watched Jeremiah Smith beak Ohio State’s all time record making him the best all time receiver at Ohio State!
 
Ok . Egged on by peer pressure. Here’s my purchase from @RiptideAquaculture . I figure even though the favias are similar color wise they’d make good bookends for opposite sides of the tank. Also the Scorpion King was a good grower until the tank sell off.
