About Clinton

Born and raised shralpin the steep and deep up in Bozeman America, now on the sunny surfside in Southern Californaia. Workin hard and playin harder that's a mantra to live by in my book. All that aside, I'm a laid back, fun lovin, adventurous guy. Really not a fan of people who pretend to be something they aren't. I'm more the kind of guy that thinks that laughter is the best medicine, and life is far too short to waste. There's an adventure out there waiting, all you have to do is get off the couch, find something you are passionate about and get after it!

Salinity crash

If you’ve been following Clinton’s 28g (mostly via the Twitter feed) then you’ll know that I’ve been struggling with some stability lately. I finally got the fans upgraded and the CA/MG issues on the mend. Everything was starting to stabilize … Continue reading

Clinton’s Nanotuner 28g HQI fan upgrade

Thought I would post some pics of my fan upgrade over the weekend. I noticed my fans weren’t cutting the mustard when I noticed the heatsink clicking the lights off after a little over 7hours. At first, I thought it … Continue reading

Skimmer back in effect

Got my new impeller/mesh fixtures from Sapphire late last week.  The new piece is a rigid mesh (as opposed to the old soft mesh).  Took all of about 20 seconds to get the cover off the pump, get the new … Continue reading
