Re-Tooling


I made a few hardware changes/upgrades this week. I installed a Jager heater to take the place of my Hydor Theo heater. I now realize that since the Jager is over twice the length , that it is an obviously superior heater if you have the room in the tank. I also put in a Hydor Koralia Nano water circ pump to boost my flow in the tank. A funny/sad note: I got a container of ChemiPure, and when I unscrewed the cap I realized the seal was boken. I pulled out the bag, and found out it was....an old used bag of Chemipure...NASTY. Good thing Fosters has an excellent customer service center!

New/Old Fish


This is a post about my most recent fish that I have had for a while because I am such a bad blogger. He is a Golden Maroon Clown...first cousin to Nemo. I really do love this fish...actually, I am really loving my whole tank right now. It's maturing and cool things are always happening. I am thinking about a protein skimmer and another pump to increase my flow, but I can't risk any heat gains. My thoughts are that during the winter I can increase my heat in the tank without any problems...we'll see.
