  1. An acrylic request

    I had a request for a custom cover for a 10g aquarium being used as an ATO reservoir. This lid will fit in the inner lip of the 10g tank. A slot allows for both the tubing and a powercord leading to the pump. It has a small handle to make it easier to take the lid off.

    It was filled up with the larger grade media from Caribsea. I topped ...

I found a larger box one day and bought it to try out. I think this box cost around $5.50 and came with four sponges, for lack of a better word.



    About three months ago, I saw some chatter about the Magic Eraser on Facebook and how those people ...

  5. Onyx Perculas

    These little clownfish make me smile each time I walk past the frag tank. Their markings are striking under the 14,000K LED lighting. The smaller male is by far the prettier of the two, probably because the white stripe isn't broken. I know these were from a batch that Paul had, but I don't know more about their history.
