    Thanks! I really just enjoy working with my hands and am lucky to be able to do what I do.

    Here are a couple of new pictures. One of the little frag rack with it's magnets bonded on. I am going to look up and order a couple different sizes of magnets to handle thicker glass as I feel the current ones are only good for 1/4".
    The other picture is of a little refugium light I put together quickly last night. It's just one of the extra LED stars I had left over from my tank light. I wired it up to a simple spare power adapter I had laying around and potted it along with a magnet into polyester resin. It looks ok and is crazy bright so it should work well.

    Time for a long overdue update. We added our first fish a couple of weeks ago. It is a Court Jester Goby. Great little fish though a little shy. I built a drop in media basket last week out of acrylic.

    I need to finish up the fixture for the LEDs this week. Also on my todo list is to find a better place inthe tank for my hamer and frogspawn.

    It's been a while since an update date. I finally made the mount for the LED's. It looks so much better now!!! I worked on a wooden airstone skimmer design and machined out a couple test prototypes. Have been testing a couple of them now for a couple of days. Seems to be working very well so far.
