Biscuits and gravy made from bacon. Not a sausage gravy fan

Right on! I thought that was a Texas thing. Guess not.

It's called waffle house

I take a putty knife to Waffle House just to scrape the grease off the table to keep the plate out of my lap.

I am brand new to saltwater. My son got an 8 gallon bio cube. I know this is too small, but I promised I'd try. I have 1 piece of dead coral for decor and that's it. We hope to have 2 tiny fish and maybe 2 shrimp. We also like hermit crabs. What equipment, substrate would you guys suggest? I'd like to use easy (forgiving) live macro algae to help balance this tank. Please be kind with responses. I have been called names elsewhere and was referred here to learn.

you can get away with 2 pico sized fish and a cleaner shrimp ...keep hermits at your own risk and some substrate in an 8 gallon tank your biggest hurdle is going to be evaporation make sure to always have rodi water on deck for topping off and other than that you could run very minimal filtration and just do small water changes throughout the month the tough part of a small tank is the swings in water chemistry the good thing about small tanks is the ease of a water change goodluck with your tank i wish you years of reefing

There are even Chicken & waffles potato chips!

I'm surprised there isn't chicken and waffles vodka. Probably better than some of that fruity flavored stuff.

This guy will get as long of a head start as he can and dive bomb right into my female clown.(my clowns are peaceful as can be) The other wrasse get no rest as he is constantly chasing them... and the straw that broke the camel's back, I was feeding my baby snowflake eel just now and he swam over at warp 12.6 and bit the eel right on the face and did that 'dog ripping the stuffing out of a chewy' head shake... eel looks ok, but that's a no no.

Trust me, I've thought of several ways to slowly dispatch this terror, but he's going to the LFS Saturday.

That's extra flavor...

Seriously tho, sat by the waffle maker at the one up the road once. Dont do that. Go sit by the windows, watch traffic....

We are currently working on page 2,130 of fish-keeping, humorous anecdotes, food discussions and general worldly advice if you would like to become a Katrinarino!

Nope. Untill now I thought it was a Bladen thing. Good to hear that we are not the only ones
