Dave, mine is also an algae farm. These things come and go but sometimes they don't go for a year or two. It is what it is and is what makes the hobby interesting. :biggrin:

Good Morning Diana. Dale is OK today. Every day is a challenge and I never know what the morning will bring me. Not much pain today, but it is a beautiful day. If it is going to rain, it is terrible. MS has no limits and we never know when something will happen. 2 days ago she fell just...

Lets not forget that today is 9/11. I saw the towers fall and it will stay with me for the rest of my life. I worked on the construction of the Trade Center in the early 70s and saw them fall. My company had a crew working on it on 9/11 and they unfortunately died. The young female apprentice...

There is so much of this macro algae in my tank now that I think it will produce eggplants soon. The stuff is horrible, but kind of nice looking. I don't remember where it came from but it grows fast. Not as bad as that invasive sponge I got rid of a couple of years ago but also a possible tank...

I am so excited. For the first time since I got him in many months, My Janss Pipefish came out to the front of the tank. He came out and was "cavorting" with my bluestripe pipe for about 5 minutes. They looked like they were trying to mate. The bluestripe is about half the size of the janss and...

No, there is no treatment. Nerve pain from MS has no cure. It just gets worse and pain pills don't work on it.

Horrible night last night. Wife in terrible pain. Not sure what to do.

Last night we went to a wedding of a friend's daughter on the south shore of Long Island, an hour away. New York weddings are normally large and very expensive and I'm glad I no longer have to pay for any of them. This one was average I think, as to cost, and probably cost about as much as my...

It's almost 11:00 am and I already had 5 cups of coffee. :eek2:

Morning walk this morning was great. A little rough and cool, 69 degrees but no amphipods, not one. I don't know why. But I couldn't resist and collected more seaweeds. This is common Bladderwrack. I didn't have this type of bladderwrack so I picked it up. It's beautiful. I also collected...

This red seaweed is completely gone. Something completely ate it on one night. Not a piece left not even floating around. I will collect more today to try to see what eats it. It may be good food. :unsure:

I want one of these. :biggrin:

Diana, is anyone else on this forum besides you? Not that I don't like you, I'm just interested. :D

Very foggy beach walk this morning. I thought it would be perfect for collecting amphipods as it was low tide and the water was smooth like the top of my head. :cool: I couldn't find one amphipod. :sick: I did find, and I always do find these invasive Japanese Shore Crabs. There are like 10...

I do too Diana. I hope it at lasts a few months. :biggrin:
