    Thank you Dan, I enjoy writing them. :D

    Clams, The Best Food for your Reef

    I am sure mussels are also very good but I don't have any nutrition facts on them. They are also much cheaper than clams as many people don't like to eat them. I eat them but prefer clams or oysters

    Clams, The Best Food for your Reef

    Clams, the absolute best food for salt water fish The title says it all. If I could only feed one type of food, it would be regular, common, cheap, (near the coasts of the US) available, clams. I myself feed clams almost every day to all my fish and have been since the 60s. Virtually all the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Very hard to film a very pregnant bluestripe pipefish because in that condition they stay in the rocks. But I tried. These guys are always pregnant.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Tomorrow about 6:00 I will be speaking at the Chocolate Factory in Riverhead on 58. It is going to be about Viet Nam, not fish which is my favorite topic. But I was asked to speak about this so if anyone wants to go to sleep, come by. I didn't get top billing, I am behind a few people from a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just spent a week trying to get a drug approval for my wife who has MS. To use the "Simple, Government website" you have to be Houdini and he is dead. I finally got someone on the phone after waiting an hour on hold and he said no one can figure it out. Like Duh. That is because they hire...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I would like to get another circulation pump because this tank is bigger than my last one but I don't like what I see. I really don't like Korilia's because they are really cheaply made and get covered in growth to fast. I like the Gyre's but they are all programmable and I don't want to or...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have a few fish that I have never seen the entire fish at one time. I once had a brutela or cusk eel for 18 years and only saw it maybe three times and that's when I looked at the tank in the middle of the night with a flashlight. I killed it by accident when I removed the rock and didn't...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yesterday I was looking at my tank which I sometimes do. And I couldn't find my pair of bluestriped pipefish. OMG. So I figured the Janss pipefish killed them like he did to my last ones and I figured maybe some babies escaped from this horrible demise. I got my magnifying glasses on and...

    What am I doing wrong

    This is how most problem threads begin. By using all sorts of chemicals to combat something that is not a problem, but the treatment is. Those things you are adding all have side effects which in combination could make things seem worse. Seawater is very stable if you don't mess with it. I...

    No, Thank you. :D

    Gluing pvc

    There is no good glue that will glue nylon to PVC so my guess was it was a sealing compound like we use on gaskets. Permatex comes to mind.

    Gluing pvc

    That white piece is also probably nylon and even if you wanted to glue it. PVC solvent would not work.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    If you will be quarantining you can't add a new fish until you quarantine it for 72 days, then you acclimate it and throw it in. In an immune tank, I would just acclimate it for a few minutes depending on the salinity and temp of the shipping water, then throw it in. Gently of course. :) If the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My clown gobi is all healed, no spots, no rashes, no hives, nothing but bright yellow. And I didn't have to fresh water dip her, prixapro, chloriquin sulfate, or shut his lights off. He (or she) is fine and will live out her life for another 8 or 9 years in Bliss. :rolleyes: Of course if I...

    It will be eventually. I still have to build drawers under that work bench. I also have a workshop in my garage but I still need a lot of work there.
