    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Last night we had tickets to a theater here. Suffolk Theater, which was built in 1933, so it is before my time, but it looks like a Broadway theater, which we have been to more times than I would like to count. The town I live in was settled in the 1600s so we have a few old things here...

    Diana, you can ask, but I actually forgot their names and I have a Lousy memory for names. But I have two of each of those fish. :biggrin:

    One of the new gorgs is coloring up and looking nice. If he has any more when I go back, I will fill my tank with them like it used to be.

    This one was maybe 15 years old. It got covered in invasive sponge which killed it. I had pieces of it growing all over the place,

    My reef used to be filled with Caribbean Gorgonians, and they got covered in invasive sponge, so I had to remove them. I couldn't find any for a long time, but I just got two of them. This one is about 14" long and another one is a little bigger. If they do well, I will cut pieces off and...

    A few times a year I go down to this beach and collect some mud and maybe rocks and throw it in my reef. Of course this has some good and bad points because sometimes my tank grows a produce farm as the water here is loaded with seaweed and farm run off along with other chemicals. I mainly...

    This morning like every morning before sunrise I took a 2 mile walk on the beach. There is no cell service there so I figured I would take my wife's "EMERGENCY" pendant. It's one of those things where the woman falls and she yells out "Help I've fallen and I can't get up". You know the...

    I didn't find a stranded horseshoe crab this morning like I often do which I am happy about. But when I do find them, upside down on the beach, 75 feet from the water, before I put them back in the sea, I try to explain to them that they have to pay attention to when the tide is going out. I...

    Very nice but cold, windy walk. I rescued a horseshoe crab that was 25' from the surf. He was very grateful.

    Nice early beach walk and low tide, my favorite time. But so far, nothing live under the rocks. Bladderwrack. If I think about it, tomorrow I will bring something to bring home some seaweed. But it doesn't last long in a tropical tank I didn't see any horseshoe crabs but I saved a...

    It was low tide this morning on my beach walk so I turned over some rocks looking for amphipods, or any signs of life. Nothing at all. Maybe it's too cold or maybe it all died and we are all doomed. ☹️ I had 3 of these guys. I say "had" because I almost never see more than one at a time...

    Very rainy beach walk. They installed the bottom part of the beach steps so I can now walk on that section of beach, which of course, I did. They had to add 3 steps to reach the sand that eroded away in the winter. :cool:
