My little kingfisher

He'll be 3 on 1/11/14. Catching yearling isreali yellows bare handed and with a net. Caught them all. 

A new sink for where to be determined

Bought this like new Delta 1 ABS convertible darkroom sink last weekend. Not sure where it will end up, but can't what to figure that out. 

An early winter blast

Last Friday it snowed all day, it never snows all day in the willamette valley. It was cold and dry snow that just fell off the bamboo. It hasn't been above freezing in 4 days and it's been as low as the single digits, the snow is still powder. So cold and unusual, tanks that have never had surface ice are 4 inches thick with ice. The greenhouse system has an 800 watt heater which is keeping the system water in the low 40's. The inside of the plastic with snow on it was in the high 30's and only 20 on the outside.

Suzuki Ranchu BBR TVR under ice

Things have gotten to cold to be outside, these little guys are Suzuki F1 Topview Ranchu.  They'll be moved out of the ice and into the greenhouse tonight.

Sxk 11/10 "black"

These are 5 of the original sxk that were extremely black when young. They were isolated and have been kept in a 20 long at half depth. They have sand on the bottom, a lee's box filter and are on a large recirculating system.   Not perfect fish but a potential line breed for black. 3 years old.

The Goldfish Greenhouse

I just finished manufacturing this 10 x 24 DIY greenhouse out of materials all purchased from Home Depot.

It was built around an existing system of 8x 300 gallon Laguna Tubs and a 100 gallon sump run by a 2.5 cubic foot Aquabead filter system with a 130 watt DIY uv utilizing emperor aquatic hardware. 

There's still some finish work to do but it's enclosed in ready for winter.
