Everything looks great but seriously you need to get the bike out of the house. If you don't have a garage put a tarp over it.
I tried to get it out to ride the other day but managed to get it stuck in the yard. There isn't really any good place to put it. My drive goes down hill and there isn't any real flat spots and im affraid it might get blown over or sink in the gravel. So its staying in the house until i get the barn/greenhouse built hopefully this summer.
Whats wrong with the bike in the house anyways!? I get to look at it and it stays warm and i can wax it whenever i want no matter how cold it is outside, i can start it up and listen to it and smell it. I could even get a big fan and sit on it and pretend im ridding it if i wanted lol

Progress! Well sorta!
Progress! Well sorta!
Finally got my 75gallon moved from my parents house. Talk about a pain in the butt!
Here is the 75gal in its new home. It will be the fuge now.
<BR>
I made a "septic System" for the bottom of my fuge. The return water will run up through the sand.
<BR>
<BR>
I put all the sand i have in there. Its about 10" deep. According to the Reefcentral calc there is about 450lbs of sand in there.
<BR>
Ill fill the rest with some rubble rock and mangroves and macro algae.
All that moving of sand made the water pretty dirty. Hopefully it will clear up soon.
My frag tank.

My other frag tank.

The Time machine aka RC-1000 working hard.

Well the tank is delayed for a while. Went out and bought a log splitter today. Put a nice hole in my wallet. Gotta keep the house warm and my back lol.
Never thought log splitting would be fun lol. An impressive machine.

would think that with all the equipment you're running you'd need to cool the house, not warm it.

Hope youre husband isnt on the board.
Nice work. Where'd you get the construction experience? BTW I dont know if you still keep those two wheeled garbage cans piled up like that but it looks like a disaster waiting to happen, even if they dont cave in.
Not real sure where i got the construction experience. I just kinda learned it on my own i guess. Sofar my stand for the Fuge is holding about 1100 pounds so i must have done something right
I still have those garbage cans there. There solid as a rock. There the really thick walled industrial $80 a pop cans. 65gallons each i think. The first ones i had ($19 Cheap cans) busted on me when they were half full :-/ Sofar these ones haven't leaked or bowed at all and they have been there for about 6 months or so? There sitting on cinderblocks so im not worried about the stand for them giving out

I'm not worried about the new cans giving out. Its just with them on wheels and stacked up like that on the blocks, it looks like a wrong move and you can accidentally knock them down.

Got the mangrove forest and Rubble all in the Fuge. I have about 50 mangroves in there and 3 salt buckets full of rock rubble in there also.
Still have to figure out how im goign to hook up my Aquacontroller.
This would probably defeat the point of using it as a fuge but that fuge looks like it would make a great mangrove biotype tank, maybe with your seahorses or some non=reef smaller species. Until recently I didnt realize that so many people still use wood burning stoves to heat their homes in the US. I hear its cheaper than oil or natural gas these days.
