Wow, Brew if that is down sized - I'm scared =)

Great pictures; thanks for sharing! Al, I'd love to come by and check those fish out myself someday - I'm only up here in MA.

The tanks are impeccably cared for, it is obvious. And the fish -they look they like it there! But, with WC and feeding and all that goes with keeping these demanding pets, what else are you able to do in your life??? Of course, when one is doing what one loves, it is not work. right???

Regards,

Jack

April, it's funny, I was going to ask you the same thing about how you fit all of your fish into your life??? I know you are a frequent poster on the site and you have mentioned many fish in your life, too!!!

I have only four tanks, but it takes a sold block of my time each and every day. Good thing I enjoy it!!!

jack..i live..work and play fish all in the same place. i have a pet grooming salon..and the fish are in back. they get their water changes between dog baths. usually the dogs end up with cold baths..due to i used too much water...oops. but i do wish i could spend more time polishing.
i keep busy though...the posting is a break or distraction between dogs. i have my laptop. : ) but yes..it gets hectic.
but i do sleep more than brew..i need my sleep.

Thanks, Al. By the way, what kind of heaters did I see in those tanks? I'm always ofn the search for a better heater. What do you find most dependable brand wise?

[brewmaster15]

Jack,
I've come to the conclusion that sooner or latter they all fail....I've tried many.. best bet... temperature alarms, and split the heater size need...ie..if you need a 300 watt....go with 2 150 watt heaters.

I find myself using visitherms and ebos most.. on the ebos.. I calibrate them often.

hth,
al

ps...on the sleeping...3-4 hours a night...rarely more

[April]
