  1. slight disaster yesterday

    First off sorry there are no pics, but i was a little busy freaking out

    Yesterday morning I came down the stairs put on pot of coffee and went to see the tank, on my way there I smelt burnt, as I approached I realized the tank and no power and there was a puddle around my stand!!

    I quickly grabbed towels to dry the laminate floor and shut off the power, I checked the temp of the tank it read 74.3. once I dried up the floor around the tank I had to dry the floor under the ...

  2. i went to buy salt, and came home with a frag

    Today I made the trip across town to pick-up salt I ordered BoxingDay, while I was looking around I noticed a ultra-superman monti and couldn’t say no for $30. I plan to mount it on my overflow box with a rubber coated magnet, the plan is to have it encrust, I’m also looking for a sunset monti for the other side of my overflow but they are very hard to come by here. Ill post some pics once it’s mounted!

  5. red bugs FML

    i was about to frag my blue acro today for a local reefer when i noticed some tissue damage, upon closer inspection i noticed that allot of my acros had the same problem, and that’s when my eye caught a tiny little orange bug, once my eye focused in it was easier to see the others so it turns out i have a bit of an issue

    i have been diping everything i get, but not with interceptor (i dont even know if its available in Canada) anyways i assume it came in in one of my recent frag purchases ...
