He'll find out soon enough!

I’m not on morphine yet like the two times they overloaded me so that’s a good sign.

Good morning y'all!

Good morning Wes my friend!

I was just gonna float them then place them so I’m glad I double checked google a thank you I will follow what you said I won’t drop acclimate cause it’s my first time alone. I feel like a scientist doing saltwater.

You got this!
Drip acclimating isn't difficult if you chose to do it in the future. Open the bags, put them all in a container, get some airline tubing or small tubing. Tie a loose knot in it and start the siphon. You can tighten the knot to control the drip.
I use IV tubing because it has a slide on it to control the rate. I only drip acclimate anemones... well, actually only my Mertensii was drip acclimated. Everything else just gets dumped in after floating for a bit.

Oh wow! I actually did not know that that’s pretty cool.I will have to try this in the future. All three are in the tank now.Im guessing never any problems by just floating and putting them in? I checked all the salinity first and did bag floating for 30 mins.I hope I did it all right but time will tell I guess. I’ll attach the three pictures I got while transferring from bags to the frag shelf.

Yes it is. He knows his stuff. I have some refugite in my refugium and use gonipwer (when I remember), go back and forth between Acropower and Fuel for aminos, and have some of his Stax quarried rock. I trust what he sells.

Great stuff Tom, thank you. I have used fuel for almost 3 years, and I was thinking about switching it up just for some variety. I've heard great things about his acropower.
Do you keep the refugite in your AIO chambers?

I do probably three doses of Fuel per one dose of Acropower. I keep both on hand and switch sometimes just because.

Yes I have the refugite in the center chamber of my AIO which I use as a refugium. It is supposedly high in Iron and Manganese. I just have it sitting in two shallow Tupperware-alikes.

 

[kingranch2003]

Well I'm west side and Tom is east side.

 

[kingranch2003]

Yes sir. It’s loaded with prebiotics plus it’s made from anchovies! The one I use only has salt and anchovies in it.
If your wife had a sensitive nose, I’d open it when she’s not around though.

She actually eats it! No worries there. I'm gonna try this

Good afternoon my friends

Great idea on the Tupperware. My center chamber contains live rock rubble. I'm thinking i
I could add some in a dish under the rocks.

Stopped and got the meats!

Stopped and got the meats!

Is that the steak one or the chicken one? The chicken one didn't look great (watched a video from my trusted food reviewer guy)

I don't know that it does anything but my goni was happier when it was in the display than it is in the frag.

What is wild to me is that Alycia hates beef and cheddars. She says the Arby's sauce is too sweet

Angus beef.
