    Snail Sale

    So, was tired of paying $4+ for tiny snails (if I could find them), so I ordered a bulk of nice sized ceriths. Lots of excess. Doing 5 for $10. Willing to do coral or invert trades (small to medium hermits, shrimp, crabs, other snails). All have been trained to do taxes. In Brick 08724. Drop...

    Anyone got a pickle?

    Apparently this is what they look like when UV hits them. Guess what I'm doing when I get home? If it works, I may start putting them in my tank.

    Help, maybe? Disease/Fungus?

    I noticed some lesions on tang, 2 on port side, 1 on starboard. The best description I can give is they look like peeled sunburn, when you have that little bit of dead skin around the area that peeled off. They're all in circular form. Added 10 days ago. Extreme harassment from clown, thought I...

    A discussion on ATO choices, advice appreciated

    So, I have an Icecap that works OK and I was looking to put it on the new tank, but, as the tank is an AIO I'd have to cut the black back coating to allow the visual sensor to communicate between the in-tank and out-tank parts. But, I'm concerned that, even if I do this, the sensor itself will...

    Free small cube and palys

    So, got some salt creep at the base of my Oceanic cube (18x18x20) and realized it was time to do something quick before the kitchen floor became the new tank. The tank and stand are up for grabs. They still look great, are clean, no scratches. Just wouldn’t trust it to water. Would make an...

    Tank appreciation

    So I’ve been neglecting things the past few weeks and decided today to focus on the tanks (I’ll try to find the kids tomorrow). After a full maintenance I started getting drawn in, grabbed a noon beer, pulled up a chair, and just watched for 20-30 minutes. Forgot how astounding cool it is just...

    Cool medieval fact I learned yesterday

    In castles, the important folk usually had rooms in the towers, and the royalty lived in the towers in the castle's keep. The circular stairways in all medieval castle towers were built clockwise. Why? Because most swordsmen were right handed. This put the attacker's sword arm to a steeply...

    Best scraper ever

    So, after ages of magnetic scrapers I gave up. Was going to 3d print something to just hold a standard shaving razor as I shave with an old school safety razor and the blades are about 5 bucks a dozen depending on brand. Did a search and found these on Amazon. They use standard double blade...
