PHP Move Continuing
Thu, 08 May 2008
The move is coming along well. I purchased a book from the O’Reilly series, which I always like, on PHP. In the few and far between spirts of free time mixed with motivation I’ve started to reconstitute the code. If anyone is a fusebox framework user moving from coldfusion to php hit me up with [...]

Visi Therm(c) Stealth Submersible Aquarium Heater Review
Tue, 05 Feb 2008
Rating 4.5/5 Pros: Accurate and stable temperature control Easy to adjust Extremely durable (relative to glass heaters) Exterior is black and unnoticeable Cons: Not the cheapest heater (but WELL worth the investment) I have always loved the Visi-Therm line of heaters, but the Stealth model is the best yet. They have taken the reliability of the previous models and repackaged it in a [...]

AquariumDB.com now on standalone server!
Wed, 30 Jan 2008
After realizing that my hosting was costing as much as a Virtual Private Server, I moved the whole thing to a VPS and use several open source solutions. Thanks to Railo, Tomcat, Apache, Redhat Linux, MySql, and of course Wordpress!

AquariumDB.com now fully functional!
Wed, 30 Jan 2008
The site is live and now fully functional. You can suggest species, update species profiles and post comments. As of now no registration is required to do any of this. If spam becomes bad I may have to add it but I’m going wait and see. My next task will be to add as many [...]
Why Caulerpa Might Not be a good idea for a Reef Aquarium
Wed, 30 Jan 2008
Included are photos from a nano reef aquarium that has been taken over by grape caulerpa. Why did I introduce it into the tank to begin with? There was an uglier algae infestation in the tank and I used it as a nitrate-sink. It worked swimmingly, but now it is taking over the tank. [...]
