It's got a ceiling fan and a radiator, so most of the time this isn't a big deal.

- Using a UV sterilizer in a reef tank What is the sterilizer? It is a container, usually in a near tube shape, in which an ultraviolet (UV) fluorescent lamp is contained. The lamp emits light at around 254 nm. The lamp is constructed of quartz glass to prevent the UV being absorbed as it would be if ordinary glass were used. The lamp is in a container of its own to shield it from the water, and then there is an outer container. The space between the containers is very small allowing full penetration of UV light. The water is passed between the outer and inner containers by a pump or power head.

Perhaps that's because it's when my immediate family always held our Christmas celebration. I realized this year how much the tradition meant to me, when I had to figure out whether I wanted to a) work on Christmas Eve or b) take it off without pay and not get paid for Christmas Day and the day after. Apparently if you take unpaid leave the day before a vacation, that's how it works in our system (and being a new employee, I have no annual leave). It wasn't even something I hesitated over. Between my blog and consulting and Micah's income, we'll be fine for the three days anyway...but even if it was a stretch I doubt I'd hesitate.
