That the proverbial “Dog House” ?
Suppose its better than the back yard...

Hahaha that garage is MUCH better!

Took the rusted screws off my refugium light, also made a new light hanger while I was at it.

Happy super bowl Sunday!

Time to boost the caribsea life rock in cycling with some Brightwell macrobactor7.

I need to order a couple more of these, ironically even though my CSPDI-90MF has the auto shutoff I’ve never used it. @SpectraPureInc

After cleaning ALL of the coralline algae, or 97% of it I went from 8.9 dkh to 9.1 not nearly as bad as I thought.

Almost full!

McCosker's Flasher Wrasse-Black Fin, SubAdult/Male (Africa)

Massive eye bulge on the radiant wrasse when he came in. My guess is to much oxygen in the bag, when I opened the bag it deflated like a ballon. Unfortunately he didn’t make it, sadly he was the reason for the order.

BIG water change coming up!

My “pocket cabinet”... all men have one. Or I think they do! Right before I leave I’m in here, soon as I get home I’m in here. I’m in here all the time. Posted my weekly dosing schedule in here for hand dosing. Any thoughts on it? Good bad? Dumb? Smart?
