I think that bangai cardinal is making a fool out of me as he is eating well and looks better than he ever did. He is well past his supposed lifespan so maybe he is taking suppliments. My copperband also had this dark mark on his side and now it is almost gone. This is how he looked a few...

New model, made out of a couple of liquor bottles cut in half

RiverSwami, what a nice post, thank you for responding. We looked many times for cannonballs with an underwater metal detector but only found clams, huge ones. There is an old Revolutionary War fort here in New York named Fort Totten that is at the end of the East River just as it passes...

Floating stuff I was just messing around with my tank and I noticed something that is so obvious but we never seem to remark or think about it. "Floating stuff". Floating stuff in our tanks and in the sea is actually very important, maybe the most important thing there is besides Supermodels...

Fish keeping was much more fun in the 70s because virtually nothing was known about salt water fish. There were no "experts" or even self proclaimed "experts". People couldn't even pretend to be "experts" because no one had a salt tank. I started mine about the same week salt water fish...

The only thing I dump is old salt water and not very much of that. I don't dose anything except calcium and baking soda, I use no reactors or controllers, I never need to use any medications because my fish are immune, the only food is from the sea, nothing dry, processed or freeze dried. I...

A couple of fish, but I caught them and gave them away. One I remember was a dragon wrasse which re landscaped too much. Creektree Thanks. :D

Here is a log book page from 1976. Notice the assortment I had in, at that time a 40 gallon tank

I buy them. I now mostly go to Aquarium Village in Westbury NY

Here is the time lapse. It started like this in smaller glass in 1971. I transferred everything in it into a 100 gallon tank in about 1979 or 80. I was building my basement around it here. You can see the white bleached coral skeletons we used in those days for decoration The tank went...

Picture is from last year but it looks almost the same except the gorgonians are larger and the few SPS are bigger. Not the nicest tank on here, but it is what it is. This picture was maybe 3 years ago.

I was just jerking around with my water cooled LED lighting system and noticed that my empty reactor is still filled with baby shrimp. They grew a little and I am surprised they are still in there because the water goes into the bottom and out through the top so if they are day dreaming, they...

Why you need a feeder for certain types of fish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsGrL9nxJPs

I would never leave one of my friends in a predicament like that and my friends know that which is why they know they can call me at any hour for any problem. That's why I have friends from grammar school and I would do anything for them. Another friend called me once when her husband was...

Some of them were twins of the lobster, especially the ones with the antlers. Now I am going back there to help him lift the rug to throw out and build new shelves to put the supermarket that he has stored there.

Tonight we are having dinner guests. Two of out very close friends, my wife went to high school together and I used to drive the both of them home from school. Anyway 2 hours ago he called screaming that he has a flood, water all over his house and he can't use any water because it all comes out...

I think Disney does it all wrong and I have a plan to eliminate all the lines and problems. When you get to Disney, you first go to the monorail then go to the theme park you want to wait in line for. Then you go to Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pans ride, It's a Small World then wait to get...

Every year! I go every 30 years so the next time I will be about 125 years old.

We had a great time but I will plan better next time. I plan on not having to go again. :grin:

We got back from Disneyworld last night and today as I was feeding the tank I noticed something moving in my old bio pellet reactor. I built and installed this silly thing a few years ago as an experiment and figured it was a stupid idea because the pellets made the tank run so much worse so I...
