Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

[SashimiTurtle]

I can't say anything to anyone about being a beer snob...

 

[Amoo]

What is that stuff!?

Up in Northern California, we have some really wonderful beers. One of my favorites is Pliny the Elder:

It was number one in America for the 8 of 15 years that it existed, on the Zymurgy Magazine's list. I think that one is quite respected.

Also, it's an IPA. I don't like IPAs as much usually, but this one is incredible.

Glad to have you aboard @TikiBird, even if you're just prowling. Everyone is welcome in the Deep Blue Sea.

What kind of coral and livestock are you planning for your tank?

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Right now the focus is going to be acans and acros. I want to try some monti again. Bonnie and Clyde are going to be moved over as well as Maui. Not too sure on the rest of the stock, except that I want a black cap basslet. I might put my six line in here too. Depends on what I figure out for stock and if he'll get along. He's been a gem so far.

Thanks @Robin Haselden
Enjoying the thread so far. Still a bit early to indulge but when the time is right, I'll supply the Canadian whiskey and beer.

Speaking of Canadian whiskey, have you tried the new(at least me to) Crown Royal Salted Caramel? That stuff is straight up smooth as a baby butt sipping whiskey.

Haven't tried it yet but one of our reps is supposed to be bringing some in next week. Advantage of working in a restaurant in the same city as Hiram Walker.

All you need to do is chill it and serve it over rocks. I was helping bar tend at my buddies place Friday night and a few people bought me shots. Bartending is cool, its busy but for some reason people like to tip in alcohol. I wasn't trying to get drunk so I kept sipping on the crown caramel. One guy looked at me like, "why didn't you just shoot that?"

I rarely drink. I'm on the hunt for some Irish Toffee. It's gonna be cold next week and I want some for hot chocolate.

I rarely drink either. I'm actually a tea drinker. My Grandmother was British and she always gave us tea when we were younger. I never liked the taste of coffee so I stuck with the tea.

Oregon trail chai tea. Yum.

Per request. The Lumini Asta 20 planted LED light has been par tested . Again this is the planted version. Assuming it could be used for cheatomorph or some other macro algae you can use this reference as a base for a decision. They do make the Marine version for $55. It comes with a 4 channel remote IR dimming adjustment.

The Lumini Asta 20 Planted runs about $44 on Amazon. Rated at 6,500k it comes with an adjustable 360 deg gooseneck, 2 lenses, dimmer switch, and 12 month warranty.


I tested the Par with a Seneye meter. The kelvin readings on the Seneye were 5,500k respectfully. Though, the kelvin meter hasn't been proven to be accurate on the seneye.

If I get it I'd be using the 60° and mount it petty close to the water. The refugium in my sump is 5"x9"12"

You would achieve around 400 Par at roughly 4" which is more than enough I think.

By far the best drink is Makers Mark and Ginger Ale. Goes down SMOOTH and no matter how much you drink, no hangover the next day.

It's probably pretty darn close.
We just discovered, it's probably a camera sensor. ;Wideyed
