Quiet one pumos are crap. Go on Grudfos pumps website and look at their chemical resistant pumps. Extremely similar to the old little giant pumps. I had one of these last 25 years!!!!!!

Very cool, both my cat help me with tank maintenance.

absolutely beautiful!!!!

Keep us informed on these fish. Now I'm interested. If they are anything like the bay skillet fish they are going to be very entertaining.

The skillet fish got tame very quickly and would eat flake food. They would gather at the top of the water and wag their tails like puppies.

Here is a link to the ones in the bay. http://www.chesapeakebay.net/fieldguide/critter/skilletfish

Absolutely beautiful stand!!!!! Can't wait to see this one finished.

You can find a very similar species in the Chesapeake Bay, they call them skillet fish because of their shape. Related to gobies and act alike. I use to catch them off of pilings off Oceanview Beach in Norfolk. The ones from the bay were fairly aggresive with each other and produce copious amounts of mucus when you tried to catch tlem. They can stick to glass like glue!!

+1

+1 on the snails

18+here.

Really looking good Eric.

Get a yellow coris wrasse.Mine ate all the flatworms on my mushrooms. It's rough on bristleworms too.

Just got back in from the first plowing, not too bad. Still coming down about an inch an hour. I've lived in this area all my life and days like today make me want to move to the Keys!!!!!!!

My tractor is going to get a workout later today. The hoa hasn't touched my road yet.!!!!!

Wow Tom, It looks like you will have a lot of fun digging out!!!!! The local radio station says we should end up with 18 to 24 before it's over!!!!!!

I should have taken the bet. We are expecting at least 6 to 7 more before it's over.

12" plus here at 7 am.

The generator is fueled and tested. Plenty of wood for the stove. Let it snow!!!!!!

Jan's!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

I think that is how they look all the time. Every time I've been there they looked the same.

Here is a picture of the coldwater nem tank.

If it is the same one I saw this summer it was a HUGE bubble tip that had lost it's "bubbles".There is one tank with very large green , white, and red anemones that is a cold water tank. Is this the one you are talking about??

The old quiet one pumps were made by Grundfos and were perfect!!!!! The 'quarium line of pumps are the closest to the old quiet one. Grundfos also sells a chemically resistant pump that looks exactly like the old style quiet one. That will be what I replace my un-quiet one when it fails.
