    Sad, sad day

    You all are so wonderful for you kind words. Thank you so much. A little history...Lacey came to us in 1994. She had a litter of 11 puppies in 98'. We kept one of them, Tucker. He is 9 now, and still going strong. Raider is 3...he was the spur of the moment purchase...and now one of my...

    Sad, sad day

    :( My family lost our 13 year old female lab today. I know this is off topic, but just wanted to share with my fishy community. She was with us from 8 weeks on. Lacey will be dearly missed. I put together a little something...not much, but help me rejoice in her life, and feel sorrow in her...

    Inside acrylic scratches?

    I have acrylic as well...just a note-when buffing out scratches, a residue will be released into the water. Small areas, not to big of a deal, larger areas.....take care or turn the skimmer onto "super wet" and add filter socks. This from when the tank was FW...thank goodness those little...

    DIY Mini-fridge chiller

    I looked into chillers, and even thought of the DIY one as above...I have two mini fridges. But, I also have AC....thank goodness, and so far so good. I like the idea though...it was exactly what I was thinking. Kris

    Whats your definition of "Base Rock"?

    Stuff that goes on the base???? LOL. Better yet, stuff that doesn't cost a fortune???? I made about 60 lbs of "base rock". This stuff was cheap...but took a long, long time to cure. It will be added (slowly) to the 60 lbs of "live rock" (aka, rock that contains micro-organisms and beneficial...

    The fate of Grumpy????

    I did mention in the reply that I took him out of the sump and back into the display. Grumpy update: The fish is fine! He was out swimming around the rocks today and even ate. I purchased some egg crate for the top of the tank. This will hopefully prevent any further carpet surfing...

    The fate of Grumpy????

    Grumpy may just fine after all. He was hiding in the rock in the fuge and when I moved it he promptly shot off and jumped into the baffle section. I turned off the return...didn't want sushi, and managed to corral him into a corner of the fuge again. As I pulled him out, he jumped straight up...

    The fate of Grumpy????

    Several hours later, and Grumpy seems ok. He is swimming around the fuge area in the sump. Only time will tell.

    Water Temperature ??

    I was originally from Fresno, Ca. Deep in the heart of the San Juaquin valley. Two months of 100+ temps....had to get out. Not to mention the air quality...I knew there were mountains, but could never see them. It is funny...up here it gets to 85 or so and people think it is "hot". A few...

    The fate of Grumpy????

    Oh yes...egg crate. I have had him for over a month...no problems. Who knows what goes through those little fishy minds. Kris

    The fate of Grumpy????

    Update...we "fished" him out of the display and put him in the fuge. This way, if he does die, I will be able to remove him without contaminating the rest of the tank. I feel really bad...I was cleaning, and God only knows how long that poor fish was out of water. Kris and Rylie

    The fate of Grumpy????

    :cry:The Waters' reef tank suffered its first tragedy tonight. We found Grumpy, the sixline wrasse on the floor in front of the tank about ten minutes ago. I picked him up and thought instantly that he was dead. I quickly stuck him in the sump, washed all the dog hair off of him, then was amazed...

    Snow globe......

    Oh you guys in the San Juaquin and Sac valley....I feel for you. Lived in Fresno for 28 years and moved to Portland JUST to beat the heat!!!!! It's 100 here now (somewhat rare), but even so, the air quality is liveable. Good luck in Cali...and stay cool. Kris
