Today I am doing a few projects in my new place. I started doing some plumbing to connect my DIY ATO to the water supply through the RO/DI and resins and to my tank, at the same time I am taping the bathroom so I can paint it I just built the thing and and am wiring it. also built shelves...

Already did. :rolleyes:

So today I walked into my workshop/fishroom/workshop/ManCave and I looked at my tank. OMG!! The tank was totally cloudy and the fishes eyes were all smoky. Every one of them. Then my wife, who followed me in said "Whats on Fire?" .. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGggggg. The tank...

The tank is still in scurve mode like a Noob tank. There is some hair alge, I think it's Brunette. But there are brittle stars all over the place which is a good sign, like Sagittarius. The fish are fine and think they are on vacation. Some of the tips of the corals I will lose because they are...

OMG!!!!! My Biggest fear happened this morning. Well, maybe not my biggest fear. My biggest fear would be if Christie Brinkley knocked on my door and wanted to help me work on my tank and my wife told her I was unavailable because I was Ex-foliating. But my second biggest fear is a FLOOD...

The corals are fine but some of the tips died from algae. That will pass. I got my old skimmer working but there is so much slime exuding from corals and other things that my venture gets clogged every hour or so. The tank is now crystal clear because out of my 3 diatom filters I took enough...

Diana I have some steps to deal with these problems. First, when my wife wakes up we will go to a nice breakfast on the water someplace, maybe I will have the poached eggs. Then I will come home and hang a very overpriced mirror we bought yesterday. After that I will try to start one of my...

Oh No!!! I am Battling hair algae, red algae, cyano, Godzilla Larvae and scrunge. But that stuff refuses to fight back, it just stays there laughing at me. :eek: There are dead Beatles and lightning bugs floating in a sea of sludge. I am at my wits end, and my wits are very long. I think...

Yesterday we took a Lighthouse cruise with our friends out east on Orient Point. (This is one of the things old people do) It was on a high speed jet boat that cruised at about 40 knots, which is fast for a boat that carries 200 people. We went to about 9 lighthouses and also went around Plum...

I know about that and I did not do it this time. I have done it in the past with my Willy's Jeep though. :D With all that weight in the back, I doubt it would have helped

That is very cool. I may either build those or buy a pair. Of course I could always buy a bulldozer. :D There is another beach here where the cop chased me from but now I have a permit and will not be bringing a big truck so I don't think he will bother me. :rolleyes: It's a cement boat ramp...

Last night I took my new Jeep Renegade on the beach to collect water. The thing should have no trouble in sand because it says "Trail Rated" and has a setting for sand, mud, snow and rocks so I would assume it will travel on those substances. So I put it in sand mode and we go on to the beach...

My tank is running well and looks like I never moved it except some of the gorgonians don't look happy. They are healthy but grew for years in a certain way and when you move them, they hate you because they were growing in a place with the right amount of light and current and now have to grow...

Two weeks ago my lawyer who worked on my move sent me a check for the remainder of the escrow from my old house and after a few days we didn't get it. He sent it through FEDEX. So he stopped the check. Then he sent us another one through FEDEX and we never got it. But we did get an E Mail from...

Sometimes your day goes well, and sometimes you get a Boo Boo!

About water changes, (from someplace else) I am not sure how much we need to check Molybdenum or wash water from Columbus underwear in our tanks but I think we are looking much to deeply into this and I also don't think we need to count the pods a wrasse eats for lunch. I think we need to look...

Hello, is any body here? It's awefully quiet. We are going to the old neighborhood today and I will get to my LFS. I hope they have some interesting corals and fish as I need to fill this tank. We are going there to see out Doctors. My Doctor is a Supermodel so I really just go there to see...

I finally rinsed the rest:D of my gravel in fresh water to remove the bleach and added it to my reef. I didn't add all the rocks yet. But at least the gravel is up to the level it was in my last tank. I also turned on the Reverse UG filter just for kicks. You know no matter how much you...

I plugged in the fan while I was holding it. The very first thing that happened, was that it tripped the breaker. :confused: That was one of the builders 15 amp GFCI breakers which is a silly, Sissy thing to have on a garage circuit. So I then held the fan and plugged it into one of the Real...
