Thank you Mr. Adams. I forget about their page. It's a very good reference so I book marked it this time around.

 

Ya it is a very nice quick hit link for a lot of the usual hitchers.

The Demons I speak of are those little voices in my head that say get that, oh get that, oh I can afford 1 more for free shipping ha ha.
Battle Corals has me fighting my urge to buy. I really have no room but then again I want the Cali Tort but then again is it worth having 1 coral shipped. Wish they had some of the Blue Humilis available.

 

Tell me about it. I'm been battling the pond demons LOL I built one of them Barrel filters. Kept me from going to RAP this year.

 

wow,

So is one barrel filled with sand?

 

No it's a different concept that's low maintenance. It first runs through a UV light. The first two barrels are swirl filters. The water feeds towards the bottom in a circular motion and the solids fall to the bottom as it rises to the top drain. There will be some brushes or some scrubbing pads to catch the smaller particles before it drains to the second barrel via a skimmer drain. Then the process repeats in the second one. The third one has bio media (bio balls, ceramic, K1 media) and you add an air stone to the bottom of the barrel to keep the media tumbling like you would in a reactor. Then once a month you stir up the first two barrels, drain and refill keep on rolling. The third barrel never needs maintenance. I'm eventually going to add a garden on the side of my house and that's where the drain will eventually go since fish poo is good for plants

Jasper will cover the lattice. Soon I will build a planter like box around the bottom to cover the rest of the unsightly plumbing and plant ferns in it and then the Sod. Oh and a bunch more pine bark mulch. Go Slow Let it Grow...... The wallet that is LOL

 

My anemone was swollen yesterday the largest I've seen it. Today it's tiny as can be and the clown fish is beating it up. Do you think it's splitting?

 

Yeah I lost my last one the same way.

 

My anemone does that often.
