I could eat wings every day of the week! Buffalo hot with ranch...
Exactly how I like them! When I was a student at The Ohio State University we had the first two BW3’s within walking distance. My freshman year on Tuesdays and Thursdays it was 10 cent wing night. We’d gather up are change and get in a line that was 2 blocks long. Much better wings than the franchises have today. Smaller and always crispy. It went up by 6 cents each year.

Now they’re $2 wings 😢
 
Good morning Alycia, I was beginning to think no one was going to ask! First they are both delicious and I wouldn’t turn down either but I think that the white American cheese was a tad better, might just be because it is what I’m used to.
I wanted to ask. I might have. I was thinking you would tell us after you ate. I would also like the American cheese more. It's not as rich.
 
Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a new tank. I kept changing my mind. Measuring and remeasuring. Thinking on which would look the best and suit my needs.

Chose the UNS 120 shallow system sold by buce plant. In white. Almost chose the 150 shallow. But it would have overwhelmed the area I am putting it. And defeated the point of downsizing to make work less on my tanks as I age.

I believe I will love the tank. And that my corals will love the shallow depth. As will I. I will be able to more easily reach into every area of the tank.

Headed to the bet clinic. Have a great day everyone
