Ph meter lets me check the Ph at a glance. One less water test I have to do = a good thing!


2 little nano-mags placed permanently on the top braces allow me to clean the glass easily (so salt creep doesn’t block the lights!).

Geeking out, hard.

Melb vs Syd

Posted on 5 October, 2010 by Justin Fox


Sandra and Terence.

Last night Christina and I caught up with Melbournians Terence (we know him through the VWGolf.net.au forums) and his girl Sandra (who was in town doing work experience for Marie Claire). We had dinner at Kelly’s, which is always hit and miss. Unfortunately the food was a miss tonight but the company rocked out so much I wasn’t fussed! So good to meet genuinely good people.

Mia

Posted on 3 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Mia’s 4.5months old now. We’ve let her into the bedroom over the past few weeks and she’s not peed on the bed again (she did twice when we first got her). Last night we decided to not lock her up in her kitty room and she ended up hanging out in our bed, purring her head off for hours at a time, walking all over our faces and finally settling in and sleeping in between us. Yay!

Taste Of Shanghai

Posted on 3 October, 2010 by Justin Fox


Last night we had a Lock family dinner at Taste Of Shanghai in Eastwood.


Olive rice, very nice.


Crab with salted egg (that’s egg on top of the crab shells!).


Sweet and sour trout.

I’ve eaten at this place before, didn’t rate it, but they’ve totally done up the place and the food last night was a lot better than before. Hit and miss, some dishes were pretty average but most of the dishes were different to the usual (which I think is a good thing!).

Christina’s Dad’s tank

Posted on 3 October, 2010 by Justin Fox


We set this up in 2007 and it’s still going strong. Last night Tony gave me the thumbs up to quote up an ADA set-up. I’ll be designing and quoting up a new tank which will be the same width (4ft) but deeper (2ft) and it’ll feature 10mm starfire glass. A new cabinet + hood needs to be sorted out too (I’m more than happy to help out!).

Aquarium hood + stand complete

Posted on 2 October, 2010 by Justin Fox


Last night I did my head in trying to figure out whether or not I want to leave the doors as they were or paint them white. In the end of the day I went against my instincts and painted them white. I’m missing the contrast and character of the wooden doors. Oh well, too late now!


For the moment I’m using a bit of tape at the bottom of the left door so I can open them. Might look at using something like this

Christina’s pie!

Posted on 2 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

We had Christina’s sister Jess + cousin Norman + his girlfriend Amanda over for dinner last night (it’s the first time we’ve had people over for dinner). Christina made chicken pies and damn it was so good!!!


Norman and Amanda (she’s a pro bowler!) coming up the stairs.


Jess.


Eggs + avo = win.


Pie!


LOL @ Jess.


A couple of bottles of wine later… Of-course we wanted to see how Amanda (the pro bowler) did on Wii bowling haha.

Aquarium update

Posted on 1 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Almost done! Today we test fitted the doors before painting them.


These kitchen hinges are so awesome. Totally concealed and very adjustable after fitting which will make it easy to line up the doors perfectly.


Top left: there’s the little bastard who’s kicking up all the coral sand into my corals and making my water hazy!


Shame about the visible hinges at the top huh? If you know of any solutions to hide them please let me know. Bit grey outside today so painting tomorrow!
