So I went out and could not fight the urge. Water all tested out, and needed something in the tank. So I bought a few Zoo's to see what happens. One day in and they look awesome. Time will tell. I will post pictures in a little to show them off.
I can't seem to figure out how to take pictures with this new lighting. I will have to figure it out. Actinic shots are almost impossible. The zoo's are doing good though and the tank seems to be rocking along. I recenlty ordered some copepods and amphipods for the display. I figure if I start seeding the display now before the fish maybe they will have a better chance of multiplying.
Kirk, I have not set up a QT tank yet. I do need to set one up. I understand the importance of them, just never had one set up. So still trying to figure out where I am going to put one at. With the amount of parasitic bringers of doom that I had in my last tank, that should have been the first thing I set up.
I have been looking for a generator. I stumbled across Bloom energy, and their bloom box. It is a SOFC, that uses natural gas to produce electricity. Absolutely amazing. Now all I need is a mere, $800,000.00. Does anyone have extra change laying around I can have.
I did and wow...some futuristic stuff..would work well in this state with all the "green" people that live here...
If I had the money, I would like to try solar skylights to get all my electricity for the house, but I dont know how (or if) it would draw enought electricity to run a 1000 gallon water system.
