I don't make water outside. I open the slider roll it to the kitchen plug my di line into it add salt, pump and go to bed. In the morning I have nicely mixed SW and no water on my floors...then I just push it to the tank that needs the water

Oh, haha I thought you were saying you store the water outside. If Kimber tried that she'd just have a bucket of ice and probably some frozen RODI lines

First - leaves, bird poop, and twigs... I don't want to have to clean it out every week. Second - three steps up to get it into the house. That seems more complicated to me that 2 jugs that sit in a utility closet!

I've had 5 addresses in the past 5 years and every time I move, I pack up a room-full of crafts and promise myself I'll set up my own corner where I can be creative. In 5 years, that hasn't happened. This past week got me motivated to make a change. I'm going to start blogging and making videos of my knitting, sewing, painting... whatever I feel like making, I'm going to document it. Might even be selling some of the cooler items online! 

 

I got a blog started earlier this week to help get me going: http://kimberdoesstuff.blogspot.com/

Good for you!

 

I need a hobby...... drinking beer doesn't cut it :rolleyes:

Nick has been working so much lately. If I don't have anything planned to do, I sit on the couch eating junk food and watching netflix for hours. Then when I get sick of that, I clean the house and yell at the dogs for hours. I need to find a better use of my time!!

The first fish I ever got were my two black and white clownfish in July of 2014. The male is Lenny and the female is Squiggy. I got them 10 days after picking up my used BioCube, and was so nervous about keeping them happy.

They used to always swim in the upper left corner of the BioCube and I worried it meant they didn't like the rest of their home. I didn't understand at first, that they just liked being in their own little spot.

After almost 2 years in the BioCube, they were upgraded to an IM 40. Top left was still their favorite spot.

Unfortunately, my arms are short and I had a hard time doing maintenance on their new home, so they downgraded after only a few months to a Lagoon 25.

Lenny and Squiggy settled in nicely, and after a few weeks, Squiggy decided to make the Duncan her new home!

Thanks for the little story - it brings back memories of when Lenny and Squiggy were just little kids :)

It was fun looking back on all my pictures too - I sure went through some ugly stages! But had my share of beautiful stages as well. 

 

I had forgotten about when I'd taken everything out of the biocube because my corals were all starting to die... Back to a time when I had no frag racks...
