    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I also posted this on another forum because someone asked me if my method would work in a small tank of 29 gallons. Dkmoo, my tank was started in a 40 gallon tank. I started it with ocean water from the East River near Manhattan because thats what I had and I couldn't get ASW. I also used...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Someone on another forum (yes, there are other forums) asked me if my theory of no quarantining and medication would work in a brand new tank. I put this here on my thread because I know no one comes here so no one will argue with me. :biggrin: I posted this: You are correct, it will not...

    white worms

    Be careful because worms can dig through the glass of a bottle. Thats how the worm gets into the bottles of Tequila. :biggrin:

    white worms

    I am not buying any fridge. My worms have to live with me, I don't have to live with them. They live by my rules. :cool:

    The danger of NSW.

    If anyone disagrees with this, send me a SASE. I will steam off the stamp and use the envelope to store worm food. I am old and have PTSD, don't bother me. :oops:

    The danger of NSW.

    Yes all fish in the sea have ich. OK, maybe 0.0237% don't have it, but they my have some kind of social disease instead. I am going to have to get into this again but it would be much easier if you read it when I posted it 73 times. Ich is a natural part of the sea. Ich has been there longer...

    The danger of NSW.

    Almost. But my socks are 47 this week. :cool: Just to prove we are not arguing to the rest of these arguing people, lets dump out our tanks and fill them with damp sawdust. We can dampen it with a little ASW and NSW. We may have to add a little prizapro to eliminate the ants. :oo: Maybe...

    The danger of NSW.

    Amado, first of all. Good Morning. :) My post was not to argue or disagree with you. Many people, probably the majority of reefers use ASW. They have to as most of them don't live near the sea. I came on this thread because the tital says "The Dangers of NSW". I think I have the oldest...

    The danger of NSW.

    Actually they do. Many of them but not many species. Even off Orchard beach in the Bronx which isn't exactly Tahiti (where I also dove quite a lot) There is a type of soft coral that grows. It has tiny polyps and is not very attractive. It won't live in a tank for any amount of time as I...

    The danger of NSW.

    Why don't you just ask me on my thread? Contrary to popular opinion I don't get all these posts through osmosis. I occasionally pass through and my ears tickle when my name is mentioned. What a silly thread. We should be asking, "Why would we use ASW from a box". Where do we think our fish...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today I took our Christmas tree down. For many years I would remove the ornaments and lights then carry the thing outside and spend the next few weeks picking up needles. About 10 years ago I started doing it this way. I put a fifty gallon garbage can on a dolly and roll it next to the tree. Put...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The Hippo eats what the rest of my fish eat. Cake on Christmas but the rest of the year they eat LRS food, frozen mysis, clams and live white worms. They have not complained yet and I have not had a fish die from a communicable disease since probably the 80s. :p

    Playing with my new lenses. I got this Hippo when she was very small. She has never eaten seaweed, algae or nori. Very pregnant Watchgirl

    CRASH!!!!!!!. No, not my reef, don't be ridiculous, I have a reverse undergravel filter and everyone who has a reverse undergravel in their tank that crashed, raise your hand.....Higher. My worm culture crashed. It didn't crash because the worms died, it crashed because I have to many worms...

    Something strange is going on....

    I didn't mean Reefroids are bad, I just don't know what they are. :cool:

    Something strange is going on....

    I can't give any advice here because I am totally against using carbon or Rowaphos. I also don't like changing to much water or chasing numbers so any advice I give would cause the people here to come by my house and throw dead sea cucumbers on my door step, set it on fire and run away. :cool...
