A couple more from the aquarium Best shaved iced ever

A trip to the Aquarium

Just got back last week from 8 days in Maui to celebrate an anniversary (24 years!) Did a bunch of stuff but am sharing some pics from snorkeling that came out okay. This little guy was maybe 3ft, but pretty cool looking Saw lots of different turtles The best shot Had borrowed my nephews...

I havent spent much at this point on individual fossils with my most expensive piece being the megaladon tooth I got. It is a 3.10" tooth that I found at a pretty bargain price of $49 because it is less than perfect. It looks pretty good and most places would have sold it for twice as much. Im...

Got back from a long vacation and was happy to come back to all my fish being healthy and no issues. I had done water changes on all the tanks before I went and had left pre-measured food in day of the week pill boxes for all my tanks. Then we had a friend house sit who was very on it and all...

I love koi but my temptation would be to keep them. I would build a water feature outside to be able to house them… lol

Last weekend spent lots of time on all the tanks with all 8 Aquaclear filters cleaned and just a bit better cleanings on all the tanks in general. Got wrapped up with the summer projects so the tanks looked messy. Still have projects to finish before winter but should be able to keep them...

Went up to Monroe on Saturday to an open House at Fossil Era. Ive ordered a few pieces from them in the past and it was so cool to go and see the place in person. Just a couple pics of some impressive pieces. You can see how large this is by the fact it comes up to the guys waist. Absolutely...

Went to Bridge’s on Saturday and while having tons of fish, nothing really there of interest. Had a baby whale but it looked way too thin, which tells me they dont have it eating yet. That would likely have gone well in my Congo themed tank. Only had a few lame goldfish to choose from so no...

Just haven't had much success with the Congo tetras. Apparently they are very cannibalistic towards their own kind and the smaller fish seem to eventually get beat down and eaten. Down to 2 males and 1 female. I feel like I would have to add a huge group in order to get them to survive or just...

Been down to the one goldfish now for a few months and it seems to be doing well. It got some weird redness near its tail for a week or so and I did a water change and it went away. Not really sure if I want to continue keeping this one or not. Interestingly this was one of the very first of the...

I like those, seen a few around, would totally consider.

Awesome that we can now park on the newly poured driveway. Was so confusing before with the shared asphalt between the neighbors. I was always parking super close to my wife's car and could barely get out since the property line was so blurred. Now with the clear boundary of what's ours, I have...

2 yards of dirt was dropped off and is in a pile in my front yard to fill the front bed. Doesn't look like much until you start filling wheelbarrows and moving it that you realize its more than you think! Im working on sprinklers also, so lots of trenching by hand. At this point its just back...

Been so busy with the yard and new concrete drive that I let the tanks go a bit when it came to glass cleaning and gravel vacs, just simple drain and fill water changes and feedings was all I've been doing for the past couple of weeks. Just couldnt take it anymore and did a bit better cleaning...
