Problem solved with the invention of the nighttime “Snail Jail”!

I'm keeping an open mind but exactly how is this an improvement on the rimless tank? won't they just run across the bottom of that to the center hole and out?

They may but maybe it’ll slow them down a little. Gotta try something, one of our cats has severe food sensitivities and we’re afraid she will eat a snail if she sees it roaming around the house. Besides, I just felt like fabricating something this morning. LOL!

Hi everyone! I'm slowly putting together a saltwater mixing station. I have the (2) water tanks in place, the stand complete, and the plumbing mostly done (all dry fit in place until I get the pump). The Hydros Control 2 arrived this weekend and I am waiting on the pump (back ordered). I also upgraded the light for my nano tank this weekend so I will soon start adding some corals into that tank. Nothing is happening quickly but plenty of things are happening!

Gmornin Friends!
woke up to 30* here in Middle TN this morning. Went out to feed the girls and they didn’t want to come out of their coop. Who could blame them though, it’s 55* in the coop.
I think the “snail Jail” worked last night. The tank lights aren’t up yet but I don’t see and snail trails on the new top.
I have a semi busy day here today. Going up into the barn loft to retrieve all the Christmas decorations, tree, etc.
Not really going all out this year because it will just be the two of us. Probably just decorate inside and not do lights outside.
We are trying to make the best of the holiday season even though there won’t be any family gatherings. Just have to remember, it’s for everyone’s own good. Looks like Skype and FaceTime will be blowing up this Thursday.
Y’all have a great day and please stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy!

Good Morning Reefies.
So glad I work from home now and don't have to deal with traffic and the first micro snow of the year and everyone forgetting how to drive because the pavement is slightly wet.

Good morning.
Adjusted my Nopox from 40 to 30ml/day on the doser
Whew, I think I will go back to bed now.

We only get snow 3 or 4 time a year in our area. Yearly total about 6-8” unless we have a freak snow event.
People here can’t even drive on dry pavement let alone snow.
It always amazes me to see someone driving after a snow and all they did was brush off a small area of their windshield in front of the driver.
Lots of cars on the road here that I wouldn’t even consider “road worthy”.

yea, we get those here too. best is when we get 3"+ and people don't brush it off the vehicle roof and first time they hit the brakes it all slides on to the windshield. lol, and that much snow is usually too much for the wipers to handle.

Good morning! Time to crank up the pencil sharpener!!!

Good Morning! It's a frosty 7 below zero today. Brrrr! They are forecasting 2 inches for Wednesday so I expect a foot because they won't plow the roads until Saturday or maybe Monday. No big ski race this year so the town is nice and quiet.
People here think it's a good idea to not clean the snow off the top of the vehicle because it gives them better traction. Two feet of ice does wonders to window seals, suspension, and paint jobs. Then we get to add the flat landers who have never seen snow. I did get to see 3 different cars run into gas pumps. It happens in slow motion and their faces are priceless.

A long time ago in a land far, far away while learning to drive in the frozen unpleasantries of the northeastern US, I was taken to an empty parking lot that was a sheet of ice with a partial covering of snow and was told to do donuts (on purpose!). It has helped me navigate many of life's challenging situations - including gas pumps!

My FIL when I moved to the great upstate, took me out on a frozen lake with cones setup to learn to drive in the snow and ice.
