We also got a Sissy snow fall on Nassau Long Island. We got about 8". no where near the two feet they predicted. If you are old enough you know they always inflate snow predictions. I am not complaining about the snall snowfall, just the predictions.

I got about 7" so far here on long Island

You can do it a couple of ways. Take a three wire male plug and connect a 2 wire cord to it. Just connect it to the neutral and ground terminals in the plug. The other ends of the wire you can skin a little and put in some type of container, I use an old film container with holes in it or you...

I have had many flame scallops, No, you cannot keep it alive in a tank. But those cucumbers, Wow, they grow like crazy

My simplicity comes from cheapness and ease of building using stuff I already have laying around

I also have always used a skimate container. Mine is a 5 gallon bucket and for the shut off switch I just brought two wires from the GFCI that controls the pump to the bucket. The neutral and the ground. When the water hits those wires, the GFCI trips and the pump stops. I also use a similar...

That is still a matter of debate as I have not gotten that far yet in negotiations but the book is going well. It is about half DIY stuff and money saving ideas along with practices that disappeared so I am trying to build most of this DIY stuff and take pictures as I do. That takes time. I...

The tank is doing very well. I pushed back the reef structure a little so I can clean the glass. I had to break that large montipora in the lower center but it already grew back and you can't even tell where I broke it and it was 2 weeks ago. I added 3 staghorn corals you can see two of them...

I just love clams, I collect them, I feed them to my fish, I eat them either raw, stuffed, fried, or in chowder but the only way I feed them to my fish is fresh. OK I buy them live and freeze them. I feel clams are the second best food we can feed our fish "and" corals for a few reasons...

OMG the title of the thread didn't come out. It was supposed to read I just installed a leak detector

Today I installed a leak detector in my house with 3 sensors. If any of the sensors detect any water they shut off the house main. I have been meaning to do this for quite a while and just got around to doing it. A few weeks ago my wife and I were going out and as we were leaving she said...

I took a new picture

My tank is doing great for some reason. I still have to move the entire structure to the back and break a bunch of corals to do that, but I am going to wait until after the holidays because I get a lot of visitors now and after I do that, the tank will need a little time to recover and re grow...
