opaquelace Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Wow. Love the tree in your backyard. Ditto! Gorgeous backyard. With or without snow! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Here's where we stand right now at 12" of snow My backyard Here's what it normally looks like All that stuff on the patio is now under the snow. We just got a "cold" front down here. It's in the low 50's high 40's. And that's way toooo cold for me. Link to comment

HVani Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 lol It's about 32 here today. Not too bad. I can't stand anything below 20 though Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Snow is great when it's fresh and pretty, not so good when they make mountains in the parking lot with it. I'm a cold weather gal. Not so much cold and wet, just cold. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 The final amount of snow from the blizzard ended up being 18". Link to comment
gena Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 What a gorgeous tree!!!! Love the snow lol It's about 32 here today. Not too bad. I can't stand anything below 20 though Oh yes....that magic number 20 degrees F. You can totally feel the difference in the house when the temp drops below 20F. I was the same way. Above 20 and I was happy The final amount of snow from the blizzard ended up being 18". Sweet...enjoy it!!!!! For those of us who want it for Christmas and can't have it. Link to comment
HVani Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 So finally an update! Last week I dropped a coral I was trying to move back behind the rocks on the left side. The result was a slight rescape. I like it more now than I did. More room for corals Things are going well in the tank. I'm waiting on a fish I ordered to come in at the store I work at. At the end of next month is a huge frag swap so I'm saving for that as well. I did end up getting a new pet shortly after Christmas. She is a corn snake and about 4 months old. She is so cool and really easy to take care of. She doesn't mind being handled eithger. Once she's grow I think she will be just gorgeous. Her name is Riven. My thought process went like this when I decided on a snake. I want a new pet. What will my dog not eat? Must not be furry Birds are messy Nothing that eats crickets Something that doesn't mind being held Easy to take care of Doesn't eat live food Something that doesn't get huge and eat the neighbor's dog Taah dahh. A snake was the perfect pet. In other news my planted tank has been doing amazing!! I know most people don't keep freshwater but I had to post a picture Now on to reef related things New full tank shot Red rock anemone Bubble tip anemone Link to comment

Deleted User 3 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Wow! Thats crazy. And im freezing at 45 degrees. Stay warm . Nice tank btw It was -7 here this morning without windchill ha ha! I'm Jealous of all your snow, we got about 8 inches that one day when some for 14", and then 4 inches the day after here in the center of wi, so it didn't look like as much since it wasn't all at one time and it had drifted because of wind. Love your tank still, haven't seen your thread pop up for a long time ha ha! Link to comment

The picasso is doing great. Oddly enough this evening both clowns were cleaning a spot feaverishly. I'm pretty sure they are too young to breed but they seemed to be practicing.

My parents live in Virginia and keep telling me how it's 50 degrees there while it's below 0 here. Annoying Link to comment

Also, my friend David lives in GA... and he's always like 'only going to be 35 here'... im like... ONLY?!!?!? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO!? So annoying... I'm just hoping it doesn't get majorly negative like it did Jan 2010 :S Link to comment

jersey Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Do you have any issue with your background showing bare spots? I did a very similar method when I built my turtle tank, and granted turtles are a bit more pain on the background (and I was using a mix of coconut fiber, moss and dirt) but I noticed below the water line most is bare.. luckily I used brown silicon to affix it instead of apoxy because I was worried about chemical leach.. This was before this method was tried and tested and found to be 100% inert. I am planning on making one for my big reef tank and was debating on going with complete liverock with foam as only slight filler, doing a 100% diy rock with caves built in, or something like what you have.. Just curious if you would do anything different, or if you are totally happy with it. Link to comment
