No, Not my tank. Don't be ridiculous I have a Undergravel filter, that can't crash. My "car" was in a crash. I was stopped for a light having a philosophical conversation with my wife about the universe, the meaning of life, or what we were having for dinner when all of a sudden: CRASH...

So last night I looked at my tank and I was fooling around with something and I noticed my Ozonizer didn't have the light on and according to the read out, it wasn't making any Ozone. So I remove the thing and I have a spare one. I don't remember where I got it but I put it in and turn it on...

I have been thinking about this for seven or eight years and finally, through scientific research and my experimentation I think I have figured out something that may change the way we run aquariums. For many years I have been feeding live blackworms, live amphipods and live new born brine...

Yesterday on 9/11. my Daughter took this picture from her Manhattan window. I also went by there on my boat.

Yesterday as i was sitting in my living room with the AC on I noticed that it was getting warmer. It was about 92 degrees out but the AC usually works fine. I installed this unit through the brick wall about 15 years ago because there was one there when I bought the house so I replaced it when...

My wife worked at the same place for 28 years and yesterday was her last day. I don't know weather I should be happy or look for some TNT to blow my brains out. She doesn't have the interests like I do as I am busy from 5:30 in the morning to about 9 at night, then I watch TV. She also has MS...

Yesterday I went downstairs to do something creative, I don't remember, maybe trim my ear or nose hair and I noticed the carpet around the tank was damp. The tank is in a closet and has sat in this spot, on this home made stand since 1979. I didn't think the tank was leaking because this has...

Yesterday I went to my favorite tide pool with my boat and did some collecting. (as I always do) It is the beginning of amphipod season and I collected thousands or maybe millions of them. Right now they are in an open net in my tank so they can swim, (or crawl) out at their leisure. I add...

I have been experimenting with this concept and so far the small version grew an enormous amount of algae so I built one on a larger scale. It is basically just a cotton sheet suspended over my tank by an acrylic tube that has holes drilled in it which tank water drips through slowly flowing...

This last 6 days we babysat out 2 Grand Kids while our Daughter and husband went to a wedding in Mallorca Spain. Yeah, not to bad. We stayed at their CoOp in Manhattan for the first 3 days. They live on the 16th floor and out one side you see the Empire State Bldg and uptown and out the other...

So yesterday I go to that big store where everyone goes for lumber, doors etc. I don't want to mention their name. I bought one of those new LED outside light fixtures for my deck. Very cool looking fixture. The price was listed as $29.00. So I bring it up to the front and the Lady rings it...

Why am I the only one who uses a reverse undergravel filter? Am I Bad? Dance

How to Wash a Cat 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1 oz. of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl. 2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lids. You may need to stand on the top...

OLD FART PRIDE I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only 'old fart' receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see. •Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Farts remove their caps and stand at...

So many posts are about fish dying and this is a shame. Most of the fish we keep should live at least ten years and many 15 or 20 years with the exception of small gobies, pipefish and seahorses as their life span is only a few years. Fish should also almost "never" get sick with anything. No...

Yesterday I went swimming like I do a few times a week for exercise and a few hours later I get this sharp pain in the my hip joint. So I figure I am old and you are supposed to get pains. If you don't have a variety of pains, you didn't work hard enough all your life. So last night it woke...

Conversation between my 2 1/2 year old Grand Daughter Greta and my Daughter (her Mother) "Does God have a dog?" "I'm not sure. Probably, because he invented dogs so he probably likes them and has a bunch. If I meet him one day, I'll ask him." "Can I come?" "Someday. But maybe not with me."...

I forgot all about it. It just cycled
