    DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

    I have 2 large files in my display, so not too worried. My sump, now that I'm digging around in it, is infested. Cant get a file in there, going to go the fuge with peppermint route and hope they wander the sump looking for food.

    DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

    Found a bottle of Aptasia-X and went hunting. Found 3 of the %^$%#^s that were big enough to grab the needle. Unfortunately there are about 8 small ones that are totally out of reach in the sump. May have to buy some foam and put it between the skimmer and return sections then grab half a...

    I almost saved a Supermodel today

    Perhaps she was stalking you, and needed a rest before climbing the stairs.

    Algae scrubber who uses one and why

    Running a waterfall on my 110. To be honest, if phosphates are under control it works a little bit for me and I'll clean it occasionally at best. If phosphates are running high sure, the scrubber works, at the same time the rocks in the tank are working it too, so I have a scrubber and rocks to...

    Got 2 1/2 minutes to kill???

    Looks like you've got a lot of nice pieces getting set in there. Just be sure to use a turkey baster to blow through the gravel at the bottm pretty much daily. Those rocks pick up a ton of detritus and can cause problems overnight. Ask me how I know :) I'll try to get a vid up tomorrow of my...

    What do you feed your LPS corals?

    I do 2 cubes for general tank (Ocean nutrition Reef1 and Reef2), every second day I mix in a tsp of Reef Roids. Target feed the bigger stuff shrimp and clam chunks. Plus I drop a bottle or two of pods in there every month as I have a Mandarin scooting about.

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Diana, Thanks much, and please thank your friends for us. Fortunately Carla is home with medication that we already picked up under insurance. No go fund me, don’t believe in it much,especially situations like this. If things get bad there’s always some kind of work to be found. Mark, Grats man...

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Carla took a bit of a turn for the worse just as I lost my job (and health insurance). Sorry I was a bit snappy. Del, Water seems to be a big player with this virus as hydration helps drive the immune response. Stay hydrated. Nutrition wise any good balance is fine, just avoid inflammatory...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paul, During my USCG aviation career the movie 'The Guardian' came out. I was stationed at USCG Airsta Cape Cod at the time, where the critical part of the film takes place. Our control center was a white room with a desk, a whiteboard with flights out listed on it in sloppy ink, and a radio to...

    COVID-19 and other diseases. How we get them, how we treat them, what they are (in layman's terms)

    Was asked to explain the difference between colds and flu and viruses in a way that wasn’t ‘medical’. Figured I’d pass it on. IT IS VERY BASIC and nowhere near as elaborate as any single step in any of the descriptions is. Any questions, post em, I’ll get as doctorly as I can if you like. So...
