Well it's been weeks since I changed water in my fish tanks and the turtle one started looking pretty scary although did not stink to bad it looked dirty. I usually drain my 29 gallon to 30% and the 45 gallon which is the turtle tank down to 20% and then use my Python Cleaner hose to add water back to both tanks. Anyone with a tank bigger then 30 gallons should get the Python cuz it makes it so much easier to change your water. The only problem I found while first using it is that if your sink is at the same or close to the same hight as your aquarium tank then it takes very long for the water to drain. My solution is to still drain the dirty water into a couple of buckets and then just use the Python to add water back in. The Python is basically a long clear hose with a gravel cleaner on one side for the aquarium and on the other side is an adaptor for your kitchen tap which allows the dirty water to be drained into your sink or feed fresh water back into your tank.

Just before Xmas I received a PlayStation 2 from a friend of mine for free but it did not include any games. So I went out and got a good deal on some used PlayStation 2 games and a controller and brought it home eager to try them out. Well to my surprise the system wasn't working very well at all so I went out to a few stores to try to get the cheapest PlayStation 2 I could get. But while looking for the PlayStation 2 I saw a kid playing the new PlayStation 3 at Superstore and was amazed how good the graphics looked. Superstore did not have any PlayStation 3 in stock and there prices on the PlayStation 2 were not the best so I decided to head to EB Games. I walked into EB Games and asked for input about the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 and the sales guy said not to bother with the old and out dated PlayStation 2 but instead consider the new and improved PlayStation 3 with lots of current and future games and Blue-Ray capability. Well after pondering the idea for a few minutes I decided to pickup the PlayStation ... Read More

Working on the weekend I found a great surprize, a Garret turbo charger used but looks like it's in great shape. I checked all fins and they are fine, spun the turbine and it was smooth, and very little free play. So the next step that we took to see if it was good is we took a gas powered leaf blower and used that to power the exhaust side and man did that little turbo spin up fast. I even pulled the turbo away from the outlet of the leaf blower and it was still spinning really nice. Will see what I can do with it but here are some pictures of what it looks like. I looked it up online but i'm trying to figure out what it came off. ... Read More

Recently my tranny has been making alot of noise, I did some research on tranny noises when the clutch is released and discovered that my input shaft bearing on my tranny is gone. This is bad news but not to bad as I was gonna swap out the engine and tranny out at the same time anyways. I started looking at wreckers and other places but today I found a cheap Si tranny in the local classifieds for really cheap, I also picked up a replacement drivers side mirror as mine is cracked, rear hatch window, rear drivers side light, and alternator for $220 bucks. Now thats a good deal as the wrecker wanted $350 for DX tranny and $550 for Si tranny by itself. The guy who I bought it from confirmed that it is indeed an Si tranny a couple of times but just to make sure i will do a test to see if it has the right gears in it. The Si and Ex trannies are the same and should bare the markings P20 -B000 and the DX/CX is P20-A000 but from what I could see I did not see this on the tranny. So I ... Read More

4 Days ago I found brand new eggs on my shark ornament in the turtle tank from the Angel fish I have in there. I was hoping that they would start wiggling in a few days after so I could pull them out and put them into a secure place where they could grow till they were little fry. 2 nights ago I checked on them again but no wigglers still. I did notice that some of the eggs had fuzz on them already which meant they were going bad and they they were not fertilized properly or something else happened. Well last night I got home and to my disappointment all the eggs were gone and the angel fish were not protecting the area from predictors any more. I guess I have to wait till next time. ... Read More

Watching my aquariums tonight I noticed something I have been speculating for a while. Ever since Homer molted he is ever so active and is not scared of me at all. Before he molted this very last time he was so scared and was always sleeping under his shell or in his treasure chest home, but these days he is out and about all the time and sometimes even trying to catch a fish that's gets to close. He seems to have a lot more energy and is always climbing a new plant that I stuck to the back of his tank. ... Read More
