It’s been a very busy week, but I took some time off and was able to make some big progress on this project.
The stand is DONE! Well…I still need to add trim and such, but that’s a project for after the tank setup is done. See below:

Here’s a vid (more in the article):
Here is the stand without the top/cabinet on it.
Leveling an Aquarium stand is one of the most critical steps. If you remember, we made the legs exactly the same length and then built the stand to hold them there. Due to some wood warping, I had to level the aquarium with 30-gallon tubs of water before I put the cabinet and bracing in place.
It looks like the message is still not getting through to many people that bad passwords are a serious security risk, with a new report shedding light on some particularly poor practices.
Keeper Security – in our view the best password manager for mid-sized businesses – assessed over 8,000 users across the UK, France and Germany, finding three-quarters (75%) failed to make use of recommended guidelines when creating and using passwords, with two-thirds (64%) either using weak or repeating passwords across their accounts.
Over a third of respondents also commented that they felt overwhelmed by the prospect of improving their online security, with 41% saying cybersecurity is too difficult to understand, which may go a long way towards explaining why they are more susceptible to being hacked.

Be sure to stop by if you get a chance.
More on this later, but I was lucky enough to stumble across an unbelievable deal on a HUGE aquarium (more on this later). They basically gave me a $15,000 aquarium and setup (lights, filters, the whole deal). I want to put their names here as a thank-you, but it wouldn’t be safe to put that stuff on the internet. You know who you are & thank you!
Now, I need to build a SOLID stand that can hold ~5000 lbs. Here are a few pics & details:
This is one of the best Raspberry Pi cases I have ever seen. Get an NVMe SSD and some additional ports! It’s well worth the price and has a little eye candy to boot.
Give this a read…it has lots of good info:
I helped a friend build a 600 gallon aquarium out of wood (the front of it was glass). This is the completed version. I was inside of it doing some silicone work.

Well, I walk past this thing every day. This is becoming a tradition for me:
October 26, 2017
As the annual flu season approaches, medical professionals are again encouraging people to get flu shots. Perhaps you are among those who rationalize skipping the shot on the grounds that “I never get the flu” or “if I get sick, I get sick” or “I’m healthy, so I’ll get over it.” What you might not realize is that these vaccination campaigns for flu and other diseases are about much more than your health. They’re about achieving a collective resistance to disease that goes beyond individual well-being — and that is governed by mathematical principles unforgiving of unwise individual choices.
Another Cotton Candy party!
