Patience
It's one of the places that I wade fish, yes! Trout, flounder, and red fish are abundant on the beaches here.
Whoa ! Flounder ...... i love flounder .
 
Could you tell me The sump ! How big and what manufacture . I’m looking for something like this . I have one that doesn’t have the big area for algae .
I didn't think I'd like the square shape but, now I prefer it.
It used to be beside my tank and run 2 systems.
 
had to move stuff around in the garage to bring out the snowblower for tomorrow. while moving the table saw I remembered that I still hadn't made the wall hanger for the kiddos bow. so quickly through something together. had some spalted tamarind and just shaped some hooks. waiting for the clear coat to dry.
