Last night we went to the Moose Lodge for the first time. It is right near my marina and they also have a large marina. We have never been there before and I was relieved to know that I didn't have to wear Moose antlers or bow to the Grand Exalted Poobah. It was a Christmas party with about...

Last night we came home from dinner and my Christmas lights were out. I didn't think much about it and figured the timer from Home Depot (China) croaked, melted, blew up, went on fire, was stolen etc. I checked the timer and it seemed fine. Then I plugged the lights straight into the outlet...

I just spent almost an hour cutting sponge out of my tank with a friend of mine. We removed over a pound of the stuff which will not go in my dumpster along with all the associated bristle worms that live under the stuff. I just couldn't clean the front glass any longer and it had to be...

Sunburst Anthius. I knew I would remember.

I buy it live, slightly open it and throw it in the freezer next to me calamari that I made for dinner. There is no prep, it's a clam. Of course I do have to slice it up in sizes that the fish can eat as copperbands are not the Tyrannosaurus's of the sea. I am not certain on the age of my...

I do try to feed him like that. But he backs up and still misses. He tries hard though :confused:

This (about) 10 year old copperband normally will eat all the clams you give him. But for the last few months he misses the food 9 out of 10 times. In this video he gets one piece but misses all others. He aims short almost every time. I am sure it is neurological and can't be fixed. Fish...

I could go for that. :)

I need help trimming some sponge. The stuff is growing to close to the glass and I am having trouble getting the magnet cleaner in there. I trim the stuff all the time but I let it go to long and it is covering many corals. My arms aren't long enough and since I got a "little" older, my...

I noticed on my 4 newer pieces of SPS acropora that I had originally thought were dying are growing faster than they should be. I think it's from the clam juice I have been adding by feeding clams. I also have not been rinsing the clams because I have so much sponge growing that there is no...

Diana, at my age, getting up is exciting. :biggrin:

It seems my Steam Punk pieces are worth more than I thought. I brought them to a gallery here on the North Fork and she wouldn't let me take them home. They are on display for more than I was expecting. :p

These Fireclowns just won't give up. They just spawned again as they do every week, it looks like they only laid a dozen eggs this time. That large male is I think 28 years old. I devised a thing to collect the eggs but I won't use it as I don't have the time to raise them anyway. Maybe...

I am at the point now where my fish never die from the "normal" things like ich, velvet, worms, dropsy or stupididy. But some things are not normal fish diseases like not all diseases on humans are on the skin like spots, fungus, bacteria etc. I know this fish is not dying of old age as I...

My Copperband has a problem, she sees fine and can probably see better than me, but her depth perception is off by a few millimeters. She sees the food but snaps at it just short and misses. Then she looks at the food in bewilderment because she can't understand why she can't bite it. Now I...

Just finished my "Money Machine" Not really Steam Punk so I am not sure what it is.

Almost finished "electronic Steam Punk"

I used to buy them by the hundreds for a seahorse feeder I invented and patented. "Brine Shrimp Direct" used to sell them for me, then I got tired of making them. :cool:

It is a couple of film containers pushed into an acrylic tube with a funnel thing stuck in one end. The funnel is from a florist. They put carnations in them and fill them with water. They will probably give you some. Just drill the thin part through so the worms can get in. Any container...
