    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The parts alone are almost $2,000.00 so probably not right now. :p It isn't worth what I would have to charge for it. The central part of the thing is an antique and apparently pretty rare, but someone, thankfully gave it to me. I have about 12 different lamps left and they are all...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just finished a new lamp. This is made out of a solid brass locomotive oiler from the 1850s. It incorporates a firebulb and two ultraviolet, glowing glass tubes.

    If it ever stops raining here I would like to change some water. I don't remember changing any since last summer and I don't want to read back through my posts to figure out when it was. I am not a big water change person and it probably almost never has to be changed but I just feel it should...

    Thanks, I didn't make it but it is nice. I think I just made someones day. I went to Home Depot just now and parked my car. As I started walking to the store, a van pulled out of a parking space in front of me and was turning to leave the parking lot. I saw something on his back bumper and...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This Saturday is a year since my best friend of 50 years died of Covid. His wife just got permission to have a Veteran and Police service at Calverton National Cemetery near my house where he is buried which I found out is the largest Veteran Cemetery in the US. (I always thought it was...

    ARKNOAH LED I just ordered this one. It is the first one I saw that was in stock and I could get in a couple of days. I don't care what kind it is as they are more or less junk. :confused: I should go back to building my own, but I don't have the time. I may have to go back to work so I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I never heard of it, but I never heard of almost any of the weird things people's tanks seem to get. One of my Chinese lights croaked. This is the third one I replaced since I am living here for the last three years. I guess you can only get about two years out of these things. Now I buy the...

    If you put some clothes on those clowns, you would have even less money.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I really don't know what so many people are spending so much money on. It boggles my mind as so many people keep saying this is such an expensive hobby. It could be, just like playing golf, especially if you want to play in Hawaii every week and you live in Ohio. I can see you need to buy all...

    I have no idea and can't get through any of them. I just came back from Calverton National Cemetery to visit my Buddy Tommy who died of Covid and is buried there.

    This was from my deck after my walk to the beach before sunrise this morning. A little foggy and eerie. :culpability:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just got back from my favorite LFS. It is a very old, filthy place but he usually has some interesting stuff and he practically gives it away. Unfortunately I came back empty because he had more dead and dying fish than healthy, or at least breathing fish and nothing interesting. There was...

    I just tested my nitrates for the first time in many years. I can't even remember but they are about 5.. I have not changed any water in a while and it's time but it is very cold now and my knee won't allow me to collect just now. :oops:
