    After a week in my tank my new little Hippo Tang lost that white fungus or whatever it was, spot on his black stripe. I just took this picture. This is when I bought him a week ago.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I collected water today as it was 70 degrees. The air, not the water which is probably about 40. I tested the alk and it is 5. No wonder my tank is so low. My calcium kit doesn't really work as I can't get the reagents out of the bottle. :rolleyes: The salinity is also good for catfish so...

    Just bring one bottle, I have so much wine that I can't close the door on my wine cabinets, or my wine closet, or my wine chiller. :confused: Just drive east and bear right at the Statue of Liberty. I'll keep the lights on. :D

    I need to cut back on this sponge and throw a bunch of it out. (unless anyone wants it) It grows rather fast but it is easy to cut. I lie a lot of sponges because they eat microscope particles (and parasites I would imagine) and they keep the water very clear. I just need to watch it because...

    I have a problem with flatworms. There are so many flatworms that they are laying on top of each other and the bottom ones don't like that. That is not my problem. In some places they are so thick that I can't see the gravel. That is also not the problem. The problem is that I like to name...

    I just remembered a story and the rare times I remember something I want to post them. I know I posted this on here probably near the beginning of last century so if you heard it go and watch "Naked and Afraid". I think tonight they are hunting newts with spears. I was in Kings Cross in Sydney...

    You mean the corals? About 20 miles from here at an LFS on Long Island. I never bought anything live online

    I took a picture. The 2 SPS corals at the top center are new. I don't know why the picture is so big.

    Just now I threw in (after a little acclimation) a hippo tang and a coral. He is just starting to come out and play with the other fish. There is plenty of algae on the back glass to nibble on. Hopefully he will live 15 years and hopefully, I will too. :cool:

    HELLO!! Is this thing on? Where is anyone? I think I am talking to myself and I am tired of listening to myself rant. I know I am not that interesting but at least tell me to go and stick a sea urchin in my eye. :eek:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    When I was a mechanic for Oldsmobile I was able to take customers cars home on the weekend to try them out to see if they had rattles or stalled. In those days we were real Men and spent our time looking for girls, like real men did for 4 million years. Now Sissy, men just text or go on sites...

    I finished installing my brakes today. It was a beautiful day so I decided to do them outside in the sun instead of in my garage. I took off the wheels and of course it started to rain....Hard. It's a good thing I am a Veteran and the rain doesn't bother me.....Much. :confused: I also...

    I always seem to be dealing with Jibonies. I swear I don't know how some people stay in business. As I said, I needed front brakes so I jacked up the front of the car and took off the wheels. Then I went to "Auto Zone" which is the closest place to me to buy them. In my old neighborhood I...
