    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This post was from 2016 and I decided to put it on here again because I ran out of things to write and I don't feel creative enough to make something up and besides, this is a true story. So I had an appointment today with a Supermodel from the Veterans Administration. They are seeing if I have...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Hi Paulie, I don't it that so many people can't do this seemingly simple stuff. I can see not being able to do the electronic stuff, but changing a fan is a no brainer.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Thats exactly correct. Its made in China because everyone wanted cheaper stuff so we abandoned American products for this garbage. When I was a kid, everything was made in the US. All the TVs, electronics, most of the cars etc. Then Japan started making cheaper knock offs. Now Japan got like...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I don't know why they can't make these things last longer. I just had to replace the fan on the left. I don't know how long it wasn't working but you can see that it is much cleaner then the one on the right so maybe it never worked. I have a few of these broken lights so I have a nice supply...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    For the last week or two I was a little disappointed because I couldn't find any of my randalls gobi's and one of my Bangai cardinals. I was just working behind the tank and found them both. They are pregnant and fine. So this week I found my Gecko gobi, 2 randalls gobi's and my bangai...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Good Morning, I hope everybody is safe. Being I am a Geezer I got my second Covid Vaccine shot today and to test it out I went to my Daughters house in Manhattan and licked the subway handrails. But don't do that. :culpability:

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    You are correct, it wasn't a reef aquarium as all we had was fish and crabs. Then shrimp and anemones came. I added animals as they were imported. Here is the tank is about 1971 Here is the first page I wrote in my Log book. This is one of the first Blue Devils imported in about 1972 or...

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    Thank you. The secret is that you have to get old. :cool: Most people who are 25 years old don't have 30 year old tanks. :huh:

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    Thank you. I also feel it is a milestone but to me it is also the last milestone. Here is a stupid video of a milestone. I think we all need to set milestones for most of the things we do. I always did in my job and my life (which rarely go as planned) :rolleyes: I feel I had milestones...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I can't believe it, just now I saw a gecko goby in my tank. I haven't seen that fish in 6 or 8 months. I may have two of them. I bought two of them about 5 years ago and it is a fish that stays well hidden and I have never seen the entire fish. I only get a very quick flash of a tail when I...

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    No, they just spawn and get eaten. If I shut off the pumps for a while, I can sometimes see tiny fish but I don't raise them any more and have not in decades.

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    It was started in 1971 and was moved three times. The longest it was in one place was 40 years. The last move was almost 3 years ago. The glass was also changed three times as it got scratched from cleaning. It was started in a 40 gallon glass, then for 45 years it was in 100 gallon glass and...

    I couldn't move back my hammer coral so I just broke it. Now I have 4 pieces of it which started out as a tiny frag. Here is my new filefish

    SPOTS. Oh NNNooooooo,,,, Spots. It's horrible. No not on my fish, don't be silly my fish are immune. I took my new Jeep to breakfast with my main squeeze and from all the snow there is ice all over my windows and the car is just full of spots. Most of them are salt and I can't just wipe...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This frogspawn grew a lot this year and it is to close to the front glass so I can't clean behind it. I am going to push back the entire center of the reef to give it more room. I am not loving this idea. :oops:

    I was going to write another book but "War and Peace" was already written and most of that was stolen from me......word for word. :rolleyes: I got a Covid shot for my wife yesterday at Walgreens but OMG I never seen people work so slow in my life. Her appointment was for 1:00. We got there a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    All 4 of these people are me. We had a Poloroid camera in Nam that developed a picture in 60 seconds and you can take more than one picture on the same piece of film. I took one picture and put tape over half the lens and took the other picture. I guess I had nothing to do.
