I just don't know if these unit's are as effecient as they make out, considering if your not facing true north, you've already lost effeciency. It will be interesting to see how you find yours, in regards to power use, might change my mind. Cheers Chris |

ya, i'll have to dry them out and make fish jerky. i have not eaten carp but is is the most eaten fish in the world. just not here in the US.
every new group of construction guys have said "tomorrow i'll have to bring my fishing rod". i tell em just bring your checkbook too! if i had $1,000 everytime i have heard that i could have paid for the remodel. |

we just ordered all the solar panels yesterday. i don't have the final bill yet for the material. i have already spent a few thousand for mounting hardware and installation into the new roof.
this hobby isn't cheap and it is definitely not a "green" hobby either. i hope someday to have it all paid for and then i can quit working and enjoy it for FREE! i don't see that day coming for many years though. like Warren Miller says. "if you don't do it today, you may be another year older when you do?" ii didn't want to just wait until i am too old to enjoy it all. i have to have a little strength to be able to keep up the maintenance on the new tank. the puppy by the pond a close up of a couple of our favorites. |

Stunning Koi. Very healthy. Around here we have to watch out for Bald Eagles. There are so many it's like an infestation, and they love Koi, cats, small dogs, birds...etc.

I quit spending $ on good Koi when my dumb dog started sport-fishing them I saved them a few times, flopping on the grass, only then to find them dried up a few days later somewhere else.
Plant shelves are predator stoops. Need plant islands instead. From then on it was cheap Shubunkins

No kidding...but his dog looks so sweet. He wouldn't want to grab one of those koi out! I mean, look in his eyes...that's nothing but playful love!

Wow very nice!!! I am speechless, I wish I was you!
And that Koi pond is amazing as well! Can you get a full tank shot of that? How many gallons is it? And what do you do for a filter? Sorry on those questions just looking at soon building one! |

my dog is sweet! a bit intense sometimes, mostly enthusiastic.
these eyes? he is a real lap dog. every night he waits patiently for his table scrapes after we eat dinner in front of the TV and then he knows he can get on the couch and sit on someones lap for a good scratching, massage. we decided we don't need an alarm on the new house. would you come in uninvited? he is mostly interested in eating the food out of the pond although he has occasionally nipped at the Koi if they try to eat the food he is after. hoover is the Koi competing with him and has a big mouth too!! beauty shot. now back to tank building. i have deemed the freshwater testing complete and am now pumping water into the tank from the front yard holding tank. i'll drop a heater in it and run it the rest of the weekend. maybe i'll get some LR in on Monday. some of the best rock is in the aptasia infested tank and must be treated and further qt'd so it won't be going in the tank any time soon. patience grasshopper. (that is what i keep telling myself) Carl Last edited by Reefski's; 01/05/2008 at 06:08 PM. |

So hard to be patient, but you have already learned that lesson. Those dogs are awesome. The koi pond is killer too. PHAT fish!

one of the holding tanks for the LR. about 500 pounds in here.
it is outside and i can only provide it with enough electricity to keep it about 68 degrees. this is the first rock that will go in the tank. more water rock and roll video. i just stand and watch it for a while trying to figure out aquascaping. i am not very creative that way. the PVC pipes come up from the bulkheads 10" and will get a collar of live rock to mostly hide the pipe. ******* width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i93.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/reefski/saltwaterinmotion1-5-08.flv"> Carl |

it is a Koi show tank. this is the 6 foot model which holds about 400 gallons. they also make an eight foot one.
you can order from the best koi dealer i know at enkoi.com that is where most of my koi are from. most were purchased as one year olds, 4-8 inches. the biggest one in the photo with the dog, the grey and brown one was about 3 inches, $15, 4 years ago. now about 25 pounds. |

Jonathan- you are welcome. glad that will help you.
the dog is 4 1/2 years old pound puppy. they think he was two when we got him. he was not cut. had no manners, couldn't sit or catch a ball or anything. i think he was just put in the yard and left to his own vices. he has slightly more manners now. still needs a lot of work. so do i my wife says. i made the mistake of telling her i was trainable when we were first dating. i was talking about romantically but she took it to heart and has never forgotten. he was a stray they told us. so i am not sure what he is but other 100% pedigreed red nose pit bulls look exactly like him. he is 90 pounds of solid muscle. i wish i was that buff. at the youtube video below you also watch Mr Bryson at the beach when we went to UCSB to collect NSW.

dude, when i went to the local Humaine Society to get a cat, at least 1/3 of the dogs were PBT. The place was over-crowded and so many poor dogs. It broke my heart to have to leave. I know that sounds stupid, but it was really depressing.
