When we remodeled the kitchen I convinced my wife we should keep the old refrigerator. I think she knew it was mostly for beer. Sadly, it did not fit through any basement doors and had to stay in the garage, hence we only have a freezer there for about 8 months of the year.
I have always had a chest Freezer in the garage for wild game and fish. My wife unplugged it and it became a Bio-Hazard and had to be tossed (old) She bought me a Gladiator garage fridg/freezer..the bottom is the freezer and the top is for Beer and Oyster-feast;). Its made for Garages and will keep stuff frozen.

It sat for a month during summer, when I noticed and opened it "I thought I was dead"

Was directing at @NY_Caveman... But with yours, it'd be in the trash down the street

I know @jsker slacks his food to make his concoction, then refreezes it. As long as it doesn't get above 42 supposedly it is still good

correct, this is the standard for human consumption;)

I won't lie, it took me a minute. 3 of them are cheating kinda

Yeah, not really front and center, but it still felt cool to actually get them all in the shot.

Those new clowns are absolutely stunning man!! You have excellent taste my friend!!

Thank you for the nice compliment. I am pretty particular, but so far it is working.

Tank looks like it's maturing nicely, and certainly is beautiful!. I love the clown, and happy to see it is gravitating towards the anemone.

Thanks! He is loving it.

I usually do long update posts, but today I am busy so I am breaking it up. First, I used my bone cutters for the first time this week. First thing was trimming some damaged SPS.

The Stylophora suddenly started some STN on a top branch. Was a little surprised by this since it had been coloring up so nicely.

After trimming

I was worried using the bone cutters in the water would knock the frags loose, but everything went really smoothly.

Lastly, I took the bone cutters to a Vermetid Snail below the anemone. His webs seemed to be bothering the BTA. Really easy job to remove him. Here is his top and underside after removal

Here is where he came from

All in all, the bone cutters worked excellent.
