Good Morning!

Keeping fish is a stupid idea for a cave man
I wonder if the power will be back before the 6 inches of snow gets here
Good morning

You’re STILL without power?
Sending good thoughts your way Ned!

I am going to chip a hole in the ice on the guppy tank and see if I can catch me and Louie some breakfast

Good Morning! Saltwater Aquarium video about power outages suggests that if your power is out because of snow-mageddon here are some tips to do til your power comes back. I am so old that my thought is "silly, i could not watch this if my power is out!" younger people know that internet can be on cell phones.
that eventually occurred to me.

Mornin’ All!
got some maintenance done already this morning. Pulled out and washed the InTank basket, changed out media as necessary and did an h20 change. Making RO/DI as we speak.
More snow coming tonite and tomorrow.
The girls waterer is freezing every couple of hours so it’s almost time to refill it with hot water. They’re pretty smart. When I refill it, they go right for it and start drinking to warm themselves up.
Y’all have a great day and stay safe and warm.

i have a heated birdbath. keeps the water 35-37 degrees. just have to make sure it doesn't get empty. do chickens take water baths? starlings and sparrows do, doves don't seem interested and im thinking some birds only dust bathe.

No, chickens take dust baths. They dig a hole and then kick the dirt/dust everywhere. The inside of our henhouse is full of craters (like the moon) from them digging. They are almost to the point where they are digging under the walls. If they can get out, something can get in. I’m putting a floor in this Spring and going to cover it in linoleum so it can be hosed out. I’ll put something in there that I can fill with dirt so they can still bathe.

i would be concerned with them scratching through the linoleum

It’s amazing what they can dig through. There is a full metal roof on the henhouse and the only time the ground gets wet is when I pressure wash in there. It’s like concrete. I’d have to use a pick axe to dig in there yet they make a new hole weekly.

Good morning! It’s 10 this morning with no snow for a couple of days. I scrubbed all of my rocks last night and vacuumed the sand. I then sprayed the rocks down with H2O2. All of my fish and corals seem ok. I will be dosing flux today. Hopefully this algae and bacterial issues will be done. Have a great day and stay safe and warm.

Sad day here!
RIP RASPUTIN!
I was only outside for about half hour clearing snow. When I came in I found my beautiful Six Lined Wrasse on the floor. Most well behaved Six Line I’ve ever had. He will be missed! :(

Sorry for your loss.

Good morning all, or afternoon actually. I’m all prepped and ready for my surgery in an hour. Afternoon surgery sucks...no food or drinks all day. I get grumpy without my morning coffee. Not to mention food!

Esther lived in a tiny travel trailer next door to Murray who had a small fifth wheel. She knocked on his door and said, “Murray, I’m having a problem. I have one of those 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles, dumped all the pieces on the table and have no idea where to start.”
He replied, “What does the box show as the finished puzzle?” “It’s a rooster.”
He went next door, looked on the table and said, “Esther, make us a cup of tea and I’ll help you get all the corn flakes back in the box.”
