00W's AIO Smorgasbord

And our power just went out for 5 minutes and came back on. Of course the tank lights, heater, skimmer and MPs tripped the Tripplite. Benefit of being at home to push the button

So odd we are all having sorry power outages

Did you buy a kit or is that all DIY? I think I'd like to try culturing my own but on the fence

DIY, ordered the 1 gal. glass jars from Amazon, big tub from Dollar General, air line and pumps from Walmart, had the cheap cutting board on the bottom (keeps jars more stable) As for lights, I have four of these HomeDepot Grow lights, just about any cheap light will work. I could probably get by with just one light.

Guys please pray for this precious baby. She is my farrier and his wifes baby and they had to rush her to Chapel Hill Hospital yesterday she's having a hard time breathing and they don't know why. She is only 6 months old and her name is Laykee. She has had a rough life so far with lots of health issues and being in and out of the hospital.

I love horseshoe crabs. Last time I was in Florida the hotel had a large saltwater tank in the lobby with about a dozen of them about the size of a quarter.

 

[Calmwaters]

Such a cool creature!

wife wants one bad, we purchased one few a months ago, but low and behold on the 3 day. could not find it in the morning and my return was acting funny. opened the gate valve all the way up and the mandarin was in it. deceased . some how jumped into the top of my weir. have since made a lid with acrylic. so time for another try.
