You too Diana. :biggrin: WE just got home from out Kids/Grand Kids in Manhattan and I just started to play with my "toys". I also had to feed my fish because they have not eaten in a few days. But they get over it. :D We all went to this little church in Lower manhattan which is supposed to...

It was great this morning. We went out to breakfast like we do on Sundays, then to the Italian store to get some last minute stuff like shrimp cocktail to feed 40 people. It is so nice to see so many people out shopping and making preparations for my birthday tomorrow. It makes me all tingly...

MarK, I hope you have a pleasant experience at Point Pleasant. Yes, I also have a Grand Son. Here is Teddy.

We are surrounded by malls but I have not been in one in 20 years. This wasn't a mall, just a store in a small shopping center next to Sears. :cool: I never went to a Toys R Us or a Kohls and don't even know what they sell there. :rolleyes: I got her mostly gift certificates for hair, nails...

She certainly does. I am going to be with here Christmas then her and her brother will stay with us for a couple of days. I was looking at what I got my wife for Christmas and I decided that it wasn't enough so I figured, stupidly, that I would go to a store and get her something else, 3 days...

She turned into one of these.

Thank you, but thats Greta. I know it is hard to tell at that age and with that hat on. She is 5 now but I like that picture. I just completed the biggest water change I ever did in the life of the tank. It was difficult because I am not 20 years old any more and for some reason, water keeps...

Diana, this Manly man also doesn't like to do that any more but in my younger, more manly days it was no problem and I could carry fifty gallons on my back (in my dreams anyway). Merry Christmas.

Marc-C, Lemme answer that as a Dapper kind of guy. If you have one of those Sissy..... I mean quarantined tanks you need to worry about silly things that some not really Manly men don't worry about. Parasites will not be in the seawater now because parasites are Girly things and afraid of the...

I just collected some Atlantic water and I am thawing out. now. I collected 15 gallons because thats all I care to carry and I was getting frostbite. I tested the water for nitrate which is zero and the salinity is a little low but that reading doesn't mean much now because the water is about...

I will Diana. I am mixing up water now and planning a trip to collect. My new home is right on the Sound and although I went out there yesterday, I need another excuse to go again. :D

Unfortunately I think I will have to do another big water change and I just did one not very long ago. I don't know what my nitrates are but they are way up there due to too many fish and I want them spawning. But I am sure I am feeding to much and due to my impending move, I have been...

You can see the bite mark in the middle of him. It healed nicely and his color may return as it is much bluer now then it was yesterday.

My bitten up bluestripe pipefish seems completely healed. He has a scar that goes through his beautiful blue stripe so now his bluestripe looks like Morse Code but I think he feels well and keeps (stupidly) taunting the much larger Janss Pipefish who has absolutely no sense of humor. Fish in...

Diana, I am married to an Italian Girl. I know all about it. :D

He likes you too. :D

How times have changed. I was just reading a Sharper Image Catalog and now they sell so many things that we didn't have when I was a kid. Did you ever look through one of those catalogs? We used to play this game where you got a ball and you threw it at the other person to see if you could...

The Bluestripes are probably my favorite fish, if not my smallest. That injured guy is still kicking. I hatched extra shrimp and he is eating like this is his last meal. I can tell he has some nerve damage but it doesn't look infected. If his insurance covered it, I would get him an MRI...

I just noticed something else. I shouldn't have looked at my tank. One of my bluestripe pipefish is not swimming exactly like he should be. I looked at him closer and someone took a bite out of the middle of him. There isn't much meat on a bluestripe in the first place so I know he needs a...

OK, I found something. A large montipora is bleaching and most of it died. I knew I could come up wit something. :D
