I am a somewhat simple person. I meant no more than what I said. I had a plan for my saltwater system and it is complete. I don't intend to add anything else to it. This is a build thread for that system.

The salt fish have to eat and I have some freshwater shrimp coming next week
and to be fair I am taking down a tank and putting a bigger one up. My guppies are doing pretty well.

The new feeder tank is coming along. Shrimp coming from Ebay tomorrow.

I hope to make a guppy colony big enough to take 6-8 out every other day. It will also allow me to buy feeder shrimp in larger amounts which makes them much cheaper. I will also be able to use both saltwater or freshwater shrimp since there seems to some seasonal variation to what you can get.
 
I don't know why I didn't think of this before.

My fish are being raised organically.


Definition of organic
(Entry 1 of 2)

1a(1) : of, relating to, yielding, or involving the use of food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides


Well I might have to eat them someday. Who knows what the future will bring. I should put a little sticker on the fish.

It didn't take long for him to figure out where the food comes from.

All the frozen stuff goes into glasses, gets a squirt of Selcon and then I add tank water to defrost it.

I was changing my filter socks this morning.
There was a stone crab in one of them. I have no ideas how he got up there from the sump.

He is supposed to look like this

I took the shade off to finish it. I may make another one. It needs to be about 97 inches long and the 8 foot long wood wouldn't stretch a bit.

Jill comes down and says by. I ask where she is going, and she rolls her eyes at me and says "to work".
I said "I thought you were off 2 days".
"I was, Monday and Tuesday. I have to work tonight."

"Dear, today is Tuesday". I had to show the calendar on my computer.

My friends this morning.
All goes well. I get out my RC cars for a change and the doser goes empty.
Both cars and doser are running again. I need to take a field trip to find a good place to run the cars.
There seems to be a need to bring a lot of drama llama into the hobby.
I prefer it when things go amooth.
I have 9,287,119 tiny starfish. I counted them.
