‘Living art’ High-end design meets the fish tank, Page F2

Stuck at home during the pandemic, many Americans took in dogs or cats.

Others took up a more elaborate pet hobby: luxury home aquariums.

tuck at home during the pandemic, many Americans took in dogs or cats. Others took up a more elaborate pet hobby: luxury home aquariums.

Something of a cross between home decor, entertainment, wildlife and pet shelter, these custom aquariums can weigh more than 75,000 pounds and cost as much as $750,000 at the top end.

Craig Atkins, a real estate developer in Newport Beach, California, hired Tiemens to design and install a 1,500-gallon tank in the living room of his house on Lido Isle, a human-made island off the Newport Beach harbor.

Atkins, an avid scuba and free diver who said he taught both his children to dive at age 5, wanted to bring the feeling of the sea into his home. “We’re

Spitzenburg is one of many delectable apple varieties that are hardly grown commercially, but which you can still grow on your own. (LEE REICH PHOTO)

Bite into these lesser-known apples

I

Macoun, with a delightful, but ephemeral flavor, can be picked and enjoyed at its peak of flavor. Chenango Strawberry, a delicious, but easily bruised variety, need travel no further than from branch to mouth.

Here is a list of some apple varieties whose main attribute is excellence of flavor. They may have other shortcomings, but they all taste great.

Esopus Spitzenburg heads my list. This old, American apple does not have the appearance needed for today’s commercial markets but, as pomologist William Coxe said in 1817, Spitz “possesses great beauty, and exquisite flavour.” The crisp fruit has a skin that is rich yellow and covered with a commingling of bright and dark red.

Thomas Jefferson, as skillful a plantsman as he was a statesman, preferred Spitzenburg to all other apples.

Many good-tasting apples come from England. Two SEE REICH, PAGE F6

shrimp and krill.) Atkins said he spent about $125,000 on the aquarium and accompanying equipment.

The initial installation and setup is only part of what aquarium owners can expect to pay. The fish themselves can cost hundreds of dollars each or more (at the top end, a masked angelfish can cost as much as $15,000). And highend companies say customers can pay as much as $5,000 a month for weekly cleanings and maintenance. Tiemens, of Infinity, said a loose rule of thumb is to figure in $2 per gallon per month for maintenance, although it can vary widely based on the type of food and medication the fish might require.

Brad Barton, an emergency room doctor in Orange, Texas, put a custom-built tank in his new home, which was completed about six months ago. Barton said the house, which overlooks a large human-made pond on the Texas and Louisiana border, was designed around two things: water views and his fish tank.

Barton said he has been a sea-life hobbyist since childhood. By the time he was in college, he had a 125-gallon tank, which he got for free after finding it discarded in a chemistry lab. When it came time to build his dream tank for his current house, he wanted something unique and custom built to suit the space.

He hired SeaVisions to design a 1,000-gallon, two-sided salt-

water aquarium that would take the place of one of the archways in his living room.

Technological advances in recent years have made maintenance easier and more precise.

Calabrese said he remotely monitors many clients’ aquariums and gets alerts when pH levels or temperatures are off.

The downside, said Calabrese, is that he’s always on.

“They’ll send me an email on Saturday at 10 at night saying, ‘A fish got stuck behind a rock and he can’t get out!’ People get panicked,” he said. “But fish like to hide.”

HAVE AN ESOPUS Spitzenburg apple in my yard. What a name! Now why would I plant such a tree, especially when this particular variety is known to bear only moderate crops and be susceptible to apple scab? This tree is planted strictly for its flavor.

When you buy apples at the store, your choice is limited to the five or so varieties commonly sold. These varieties have been chosen for their commercial qualities: They grow well, ship well and store well. Red apples must be all red, and the green apples must be all green. The flavors need to appeal equally to consumers from New York to Nebraska to New Mexico.

We gardeners, on the other hand, can plant any one of the more than 5,000(!) apple varieties that strikes our individual fancy. And, we can plant and harvest without regard to a variety’s appearance, shelf life, or any other commercial attribute.

For instance, the variety

fish geeks,” he said.

In his previous house, he had an 11-foot-long custom tank — the width of a supersize sectional couch. For his new house, he wanted to go larger.

His saltwater tank is 15 feet wide — the length of the widest piece of seamless acrylic that was readily available. Tiemens said it’s big enough that the tank in the living room is visible from the length of a football field away through the home’s windowed glass exterior. “I like to say that it’s central to Newport Beach,” Tiemens said.

Retrofitting the tank into an existing home was a challenge.

“I bought this house kind of on a whim because it’s on a corner lot on an island,” Atkins said.

“Then it was like, ‘How do we fit a tank in?’” It wasn’t easy.

Atkins said the crew slept at his house a couple nights, pulling all-nighters to get the tank installed on time.

First, a contractor had to install steel reinforcement into the floors to handle the 20,000 pounds of weight — water is heavy. Next, they retrofitted a basement space originally used as a wine closet into a filtration room with about a 300-gallon capacity. From there, saltwater gets filtered and pumped through six different pipelines built into the floors. Outside, there’s another 400-gallon tank for water changes. The setup ensures that the tank operates silently in the living room.

The tank is filled with synthetic coral and a colorful mix of tropical fish such as queen angels, parrotfish and cowfish. “It’s like living art,” said Atkins, who said he enjoys feeding the fish himself. (They eat sushi-grade seaweed,

Caricature vases mystery of the past

S

OMETIMES INVENtions have changed how we perform a job.

They make a certain tool or decoration no longer useful, and its earlier use is forgotten.

A 5-inch-tall bisque vase shaped like a man in a political uniform was one of these mysteries in a recent auction. It could hold small flowers for a very short time, because the small opening would hold only enough water for flowers for a day.

We have seen similar small figures identified as match holders, but it could be a “whimsey” (a fanciful figure, perhaps even a joke).

We were sure it was old, and we thought the figure was a caricature of a known English politician. The style of pants, short shirt, yellow epaulets, curly hairdo and flat hat seemed proper.

Whatever it was used for, it was appealing, and with eight bids, it sold for $59 at the Conestoga auction in Pennsylvania. The value will go up if the man can be identified.

Do-it-yourself kitchen classic

ROM THE ADIRONdack chair on the patio to the cedar chest in the bedroom and the rocking horse in the nursery, it seems like there’s a classic woodworking project for almost every room in the house.

Now do-it-yourselfers can add a kitchen classic to the list, with this traditional breakfast nook project.

A natural for any casual meal (not just breakfast!), this do-ityourself version is a great place to have a cup of coffee, read the newspaper or play a game.

The project is scaled to fit almost any kitchen, and each bench features a big storage compartment under the seat perfect for table linens, dry goods or even board games.

The nook is built mostly from four sheets of oak plywood (as pictured; other species will work), and construction is simple. All of the curves and angles are traced from full-size patterns, and the pedestal base for the table

hundred years ago, a seedling apple tree that had sprung up in a cottage garden in Cornwall bore a crop of ugly fruit, russeted brownish-red over an olive base. But the tree was preserved because the flavor of the apples, now known as Cornish Gilliflowers, is supreme — a rich sweetness, with a hint of clove. Ashmead’s Kernel originated more than 200 years ago in another part of England — Dr. Ashmead’s garden in Gloucester. The fruit is a russeted golden brown with a reddish-bronze cheek where struck by sunlight. Inside, a delicious, crisp, yellow flesh.

Cox’s Orange Pippin is an old apple variety that originated, and is still popular, in England.

The fruit is small and some years it cracks just before harvest. The color, orange and red, washed with carmine over a yellow background, might look good to some, but it is not an apple for markets that demand a pure-red, shiny apple. It is an apple prized for its flavor. The English grow it commercially in spite of its faults.

From across the Channel in France comes Calville Blanc d’Hiver. This variety was grown over 300 years ago in the garden of King Louis XIII, and it is still served in some Parisian restaurants. The fruit is lobed slightly and enclosed in a skin that is smooth and light, like porcelain. Its tender, spicy flesh, with just a hint of banana, blends well with cheese for dessert.

Superior flavor is not limited only to old apple varieties.

Jonagold and Spigold are two good varieties introduced about 20 years ago from the

New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. Jonagold combines the flavors of its parents, the sprightly Jonathan and the aromatic Golden Delicious. The large fruits are yellow with a splash of light scarlet. Spigold, the offspring from a mating of Golden Delicous with Northern Spy, surpasses both of its parents in quality. Jonagold and Spigold both have a “cracking” flavor — they are crisp, but when you bite into them, they explode in your mouth with juice and flavor.

Another new variety, Crispin’ (Mutsu), was introduced by Japanese breeders in 1948.

This large, round, yellow apple has a delicate spicy flavor. The texture is pleasantly coarse, reminiscent of biting into a snowball.

The variety Melrose, introduced in 1944 by the Ohio Agricultural Experimental Station, is now the official Ohio state apple. In Melrose, the tartness of its one parent, Jonathan, is tempered with some of the sweetness of its other parent, Red Delicious.

The trees are productive and begin bearing at a young age.

To develop full flavor, this tree needs plenty of sun sun.

There are many other flavorful apples besides the ones I have described. If you are willing to make the effort (and growing apples does take some effort!), a few small backyard trees of garden varieties of apples, grown for excellence in flavor, will reward you with years of good eating.

Mortgage rates continued to climb this week, reaching highs not seen since April.

According to the latest data, released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average rose to 3.14% with an average 0.7 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. They are in addition to the interest rate.) The 30-year fixed average was 3.09% the previous week and 2.81% a year ago.

The 30-year fixed average has increased 15 basis points in the past three weeks. (A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.)

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from some 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages.

Rates for refinancings may be different. The survey uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores who make large down payments.

Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to all borrowers.

The 15-year fixed-rate average rose to 2.37%, with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.33% a week ago and 2.32% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average ticked up to 2.56% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.54% the previous week and 2.88% a year ago.

“Mortgage rates continued their steady march upward last week, reaching their highest levels since April,” said Paul Thomas, vice president for capital markets at Zillow.

“Consumer confidence is improving and inflation expectations increasing with continued economic recovery, while jobless claims data showed further improvement in labor markets. Bond investors have priced in higher inflation expectations recently.”
