Not today but I need to reseal that 10g on the porch. I let it age in a year, put hillstreams in it and it started leaking in a week. Have to glue or plastic weld the other AQ110. It cracked when I pulled on part.

L397.. 40$.. they are 100$ (200?) for tank bred and 300$ for wild caught here. I also like the splotchy loach. Paying the pleco tax. Cactus picking a fight. Another large male is right in front of it. Not sure what this one was doing. probably about to pick a fight as it is out side a log...

I think I'm going to regret it for a very long time. This one will probably haunt me like the 2000g for 1$/gal with full filtration setup. With this one I keep telling myself I have no place to put a 20' long tank. It would have been a high flow river tank. The ~4'x4' filter and return basin at...

Weather loach. Went from tank where heater went crockpot and pegged out the thermometer 115F was cap. As a panicking kid I ran the water in the rescue pail cold, hurt your scalp and eyes well water cold ~45F, netted the loach and dumped him in the pail. The loach was fun, unlike all the other...

Yep. This is after it died and then a pic after I cleaned it. It ran ~3 years with 3 goldbacked neos in it. they never bred, so when they died I had to open it up and try something else. Scuds failed due to temp I believe.

Picked up 5 Rio Paraguay BN and 4 white BN. Lets hope for boys and girls in each set. Put whites in blackwater mulch tank, now they look like blue eye lemons..

Just grabbed 5 papa plecos. The Wabenmusters were NFS.. Same for another exotic Pleco that was in. Papas won out over the paras and rangers that were also tempting me. Next week I hope to get a bunch of Rio Paraguay BNs.

Yep. I learned the lesson by getting ripped off for 500$ by Anglemania.net. It was bad when the day I ordered or a day after I talked to someone at teh LFS about buying angels when they said they breed them and the first thing they say is "Please tell me you didn't order from Anglemania.net...

Not a problem. If people are correct it would become a perpetual thread. Though I guess keeping it child safe cuts out a lot of my life as what some people have referred to as "The real Most interesting man in the world", I haven't drank Dos Eques since I was a teen, so I'm not the TV guy.

I tried reading the thing at 2,900+ pages I gave that up quick. Then I went through amendments for a while. Do we know the name of the senator who inserted this poison pill.

Wife started building a stand for the 220 yesterday so I assume that will continue tonight.

Sorry stuff came up. The UPS kept the tanks going while we replaced breakers. Is there an interview I should be tending?

So 51F in the house this morning. It is dropping way faster than when the first boiler died during the cold snap. I guess this is why you put plastic over all your windows. Maybe fire the oven up and leave the door open for a bit? You can't cool your house with your fridge but maybe you can...

Oh, interesting. Many of those are quite adorable.

Today we play panic and musical fish/tanks/heaters. The boiler went out at some point and today it is cold enough in the house to have figured it out. it is 57F. This Jan has been mostly cold snap and it looks like what is happening this week. So now to figure out who in an unheated tank can...
