I need to replace 2 legs on my tank stand which I built 30 years ago. Here is one of the legs, it is made of Kindorf which is what we use in construction to build almost everything. It is 1 1/2" square and is heavy galvanized steel but even heavy galvanized steel is no match for 30 years of...
I don't know if there are any other Nam Vets here besides me but I just received a letter of another Vet from that era that died from causes that could be attributed to Agent Orange.
My first Captain from there also just died in his fiftees from this cancer.
It seems that III Corps was the...
You would think an animal that I let live in my tank would leave my stuff alone. I mean Really!
Give me a break.
He doesn't know that I do own a spear gun. :rolleyes:
I had some free time so I thought I would annoy my mojanos.
I like to inject them with different things, just because. Well just because I can.
Today's mixture was calcium and straight Lugold Iodine.
They hate it when I do that. You should see what they write about me on the inside of the glass...
This last live blackworm keeper so far is working great. I never have a dead worm and they are even multiplying. This is my third model as the first two were too small for the amount of worms I need to keep.
The secret to these things is they have to age for a couple of weeks to build up some...
How cute is this guy? He is the one I collected in the summer and doubled his size already.
This is of course my local animal tank and not my reef
The rest of the collected stuff is all also well. These two butterflies and two wrasses are looking good as well as all of the local hermit...
To all of you Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force and Coast Guard troops away from home this year.
Merry Christmas to all of you and get home safe and fast. There are people waiting for you.
I know how it feels.

Anyone ever get any tooth implants?
I just had my 8th one. Great invention but expensive.
Of course I am older than most of you people on here with baby teeth but I had a tooth pulled in Viet Nam and they pulled the wrong tooth so I had to get another one pulled. They didn't have X rays there or...
A gonopora is a coral that most people, Including me, have problems keeping for more than a year or two. I am really determined to find out why because it just annoys me. These things should live forever.
I have read all sorts of things about them and it seems that it is all incorrect.
I...

I am trading in my film camera stuff and they are giving me $100.00 which is better than throwing it out. So what do I buy. I am looking at around $400.00 and want something that I can screw filters on to the lenz. I was looking at a Canon Powershot SX20 12.1 MP digital.
The wide angle lenz is...
I don't know if any of you GIs are on here, and Being in that situation in the past I know it's very hard, but I really hope you are all home with your families for next Thanksgiving. Hopefully, a lot sooner.
That is the most important thing.
Take care and be safe.
Yes, I know, stupid title.
I don't know about you guys but I like to try to keep things natural. A perfectly clean sterile envirnment is neither natural or healthy.
We all have a little detritus hiding somewhere, some of us have mountains of it. This material is mostly beingn but it is composed...
Today of course is the most important day we here in America have.
It is the reason we have an America.
Happy Veteran's Day
And I pray all of our service people come home safe soon.
I have a love/hate relationship with hermit crabs. I wish they could not detect food so well. There are maybe 6 or 8 of them in my tank but two of them are over 10 years old and they are big and tough.
When I feed the corals (which I do while I am waiting for a phone call) the crabs of course...
I have always said that if your fish are exhibiting mating behavior they are in the best of health. There are as many varied mating behaviors as there are fish. My fireclowns just get next to each other and shake while smacking each other with their tails, my bluestripped pipefish kind of swim...
