Reef Tank Photo Shoot

So today’s photo shoot is extra special – I used my new camera UNDERWATER to take these pics. The fish did NOT like it, but I think I got some cool shots. I also apologize for only having a handful of pics, since the fish were getting agitated I didn’t want to take too long. Enjoy!

Getting Things Done - It's Time for Yard Work

Image
This past weekend I spent some time outside doing yard work, and I'm pretty proud of what I got accomplished. There's still more that needs to be done, but I hurt my back pretty early on in the day and had to call it quits after a few hours. I'll be taking it easy this week and should be back to 100% by the weekend!  Anyway, here's some pics - befores and afters...  First I added some mulch, and big pavers (that's what screwed my back) to the front left side of the house. I also straightened the leaning birdbath and moved the planter (lillies) off the front steps. I need more mulch, probably at last 2 more bags. I only got one bag to start with since I was worried how it would work/look. I am finding conflicting info online as to whether or not I should trim the hibiscus bushes. Unfortunately, they look pretty dead so I have a feeling they didn't make it through the winter (they were supposed to!!). On the right side of the house I weede...

Bottle Cap Magents - What Hasn't Worked

Image
My fiance has been collecting beer bottle caps for quite a while. His intention was always to use them for fridge magnets. I've finally helped him get started! I sorted out all the caps by type - he definitely has over 100 bottle caps. I cleaned a small batch of them and got to work.  We found 3/4 inch ceramic magnets at Hobby Lobby and decided to use those for the bottle caps.  Our first thought was to use hot glue to secure the magnets to the caps. Unfortunately, the glue did not stick well to the metal of the cap and on a lot of them, the magnet would fall out.   Our next attempt was to use super glue - and that worked MUCH better!  We encountered another problem once we tried to stick the magnets to the fridge. The bottle caps have a small plastic seal inside them - the perfect size for the magnets to sit down into. Unfortunately, this lead to areas where the bottle cap itself was touching, and therefore scraping, against the surface of the...

Making a Reef Tank Lid

Image
Another reefing post this week, thought this time it also involves crafting.  When I first ordered the lagoon tank, the fact that it didn't come with a lid wasn't an issue for me. I left that a problem for future me to worry about! Luckily, the old IM 40 lid fit side to side, and only had a couple inch gap front to back. For a few months, I used the old lid with the new tank and simply draped a towel over the back where the lid didn't quite cover. This worked out pretty well, wasn't terribly ugly, so it was ok for a few months... until I sold the old tank and had to give up the lid. I don't really like the IM lids, the mesh screen is full of imperfections and I feel like it blocks a lot of light. So the quickest solution to keep my fishes from jumping out was a cardboard lid. Definitely not the best long term, because no light could get into the tank, but I am paranoid of jumpers and I'm pretty cheap. I did take the cardboard off when I was home at ni...
