It has been a while since I updated the blog in regards to my salt water adventure. The aquarium is doing well right now, and I haven't lost any fish to date. Corals, is another story.

Back in December I had a phosphate and nitrate spike which ended up really causing havoc with my corals. My SPS, Brain Coral, and Titans Shield corals survived. But a few other frags I had recently purchased did not survive. I had to dose with vinegar, at about 10ml a day. And I did a few 20% water changes.

I have been thinking a lot about my SVNO and Model Railroad plans as of late.

It seems that the most common way for model railroaders to 'operate' their model railroads these days, is to utilize a 'car card' system. This is a system which closely follows prototypical operations, and includes cargo type, and equipment cards, for each rail car on the layout. As well as waybills listing where the car came from, and where it is going. Very detailed, yes.

2021 Update: A lot of this article was speculative and assuming based on initial investigations and assumptions based on history we didn't fully understand. Now I understand more about what happened, and that is related in the posting located here.
