Spider in the Aquarium
When I was draining the tank (after adding the ship), a spider ran across the water’s top. It was very cool & the aquarium lights made it look amazing!
This a Wolf Spider renowned for its ability to walk on water. He must have crawled into the ship when I left it in the yard. Nature is amazing!

Leveling the Stand
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.

Bad Passwords – Many Just Aren’t Getting The Message
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.

Building an Aquarium Stand
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:
