I ran across an interesting story today about a shark jumping from an aquarium to a pool. Interesting. Why would the pool be so close to an aquarium with a shark in it? That is interesting in its own right.

Normal People Just Have Aquariums
Are you a geek? Chances are, if you are interested in fish tanks and/or use the internet. There are pretty good odds of one or both of those being the case if you are reading this web site, hehe.
Build Your Own Aquarium Computer
Yes, that is correct, you can build an aquarium computer. It might not be exactly what you think. You can’t put any fish in it since it’s filled with mineral oil instead of water, but an aquarium is used for the computer case and it looks like the internals of the computer are submerged in […]
PetSmart Fish Poisonings: Teens Arrested
A couple of employees dumped some bleach into the water system at a PetSmart in La Quinta. They were disgruntled. Thousands of dollars worth of damage.
Moving Walkway Within an Aquarium
I was recently looking at a particular picture of the Shanghai Aquarium moving walkway. This basically looks like a big tunnel underwater at the Shanghai Aquarium. I’ve never been there, but it looks interesting.

I finally got tired of only being able to put small amounts of phosphate sponge into my canister filter. Not only is the filter not able to hold as much phosphate sponge as I want to have in there, it is also a pain to disconnect and change on a frequent basis. So… I decided […]

19 Bristle Worms and Counting
I’ve been trapping Bristle Worms for 3 nights in a row now. Each night I put the trap into a different sector of the fish tank. Whenever I first drop the trap into the tank for the night the Nassarius Snails swarm the trap. But they can’t get in. After about an hour the Snails […]
Battling Bristle Worms
I’ve recently found Bristle Worms in my 75 gallon aquarium. This is not good. I assume an aquarium is likely to have bristle worms at some point, but it’s also not something I want to see in mine. I have no need for them that I know of. They must be destroyed. Setting a Bristle […]
Possibly removing live rock from the tank
I’ve been battling some red algae issue in my 75 gallon salt water tank recently. I’m thinking of removing a large portion of the live rock from my tank. The main reasoning for doing this is that I figure the live rock is the one part of the tank that I have a hard time […]
