I went out to pick up some pond plants at the nursery today. All the water lillies are blooming. It is like a fantasy fairyland inside of these green houses.

Before and after pictures for a pond I've been working on. Almost. A gopher decided to chew through the pump cords.

Pond demo & rebuild! Fun new project. Found a lungless salamander and and a dinosaur in the process.

Neck Deep Aquatics website is officially up and running again! Completely new design!

This world can always use a bit more peace, tranquility, and beauty. I feel more than blessed to have the ability to provide just that and make a living while doing so. Hearing clients say 'We can't stop staring at the aquarium! We all love it so much!' is beyond fulfilling and gratifying.
I can't thank you all enough for the support and opportunities!

Advanced plumbing 101 + aquarium yoga! This is sump installation pose . . . Can't wait to see the long term effects of these new toys. Plumbed an algae scrubber and a bead filter into this custom sump built buy the client himself. Don't say anything about the wrong check valve. I know already.

This aquarium is outside. It is integrated into an aquaponic system. A hydroponic ebb and flow planter box cleans the water with vegetables. 7 species of fish and invertebrates thrive in this unheated aquarium. I stare at this for hours.

Took some ingenuity and heavy lifting to get this beast through the front door. After more than 2 years of custom carpentry it is finally in place.

Before and after pictures of a pond job in Tustin today. Black water from one of the recent fires. 2 fish saved today.

Almost done with this 10' aquarium stand. One more coat of poly and some quick cork inserts will finish her.
