I remember seeing the wall of grinders but didn't know who posted it.
Thanks Cap'n.

I like the concept of thumbnailed links. There are some really neat tumblers designs in there. I don't see my favorite one though  Chuck Which one is your favorite? I know we're missing a bunch of them. Proven design that has produced some award winning tumbles,lol. Been running 24-7 for 5 years now.  I posted a few times about the build. designed as a dual level but built as single at first and then upgraded to dual level when I could afford it. Chuck |

Thanks ! Kribs in the video but I have apistos too in another tank. Nice - what apisto species? I used to search the cichlid auctions for rare and unusual apisto species to raise (or kill) Not the easiest fish to keep in SF Bay area water so hard you can stand a fork up in. Some of them practically need black water - 5.0 pH to thrive and breed. |

Some of them practically need black water - 5.0 pH to thrive and breed. Depends on the species. I have cacatuoides that are breeding and agazzizi red that laid eggs. I used to keep Eunotus and eremnopyge. I'm looking forwards to getting some nijsseni or abacaxis this summer. There is a local shop up in CT that can order any species. They aren't too picky about low pH water if they have been captive bred for a while. Wild caught fish are a whole different story. |

7/20/17 - The DIY Projects page is down temporarily for maintenance while I go through and clean up the mess made by photo bucket. I'm also doing some reorganization which looks too messy to leave it open while I'm in the middle of it.

I'm proud to unveil this as proof that good things can come from sketchy beginnings . Thank you to captbob for the idea. DIY Projects pages, your link to DIY Projects tells me I don't have permission to view it. Same thing if I click the link to it in Home/Additional Rock Related Projects/Lapidary Equipment/DIY PROJECTS PAGE. Lynn |

Same thing if I click the link to it in Home/Additional Rock Related Projects/Lapidary Equipment/DIY PROJECTS PAGE.Lynn Yep, it's closed for maintenance. I posted above about it. It's a real mess already because of photobucket and because of the structure of the page it gets really messy visually while I'm editing pages 2 and 3 - thus the decision to shut it down. |

Good luck on cleaning up that mess.. Wearing your luck French Maid's rig you got on eBay? Thank you for all the teeth grinding and hair pulling that you are doing for us. Was that you I bought that outfit from? I think the seller's name was inyourdreamsbigboy wasn't it? Yes it's a major mess - I'm only fixing the ones that have broken already but I know that a lot more are yet to break because I see the peebucket links still working. Oh well - I'll do my best to fix them as we go. These are the kinds of threads worth fighting for. |

You wont live long enough to fix them all but now with the hosting onsite that you came up with you have protected all the new stuff. Glad you liked the outfit, that water washable thing is great. Just wear it to the carwash and it a done deal. grin Thank You so much for the work you are doing Tommy.
