I started Building the heat exchanger for my water cooled algae scrubber LED light. Of course I could have bought one for half the price, but anyone could do that.

Today I saw on another forum someone had a "smart" watch that they could use to check on their tank and change the colors of their lights, see the temperature and a number of other things which I have no idea of. My day consists of getting up at about 5:30 and "if" I decide to go to my finished...

My dopey air pump for my home made skimmer croaked. Even though it is a venture skimmer it needs an air pump because it is 5' tall and my home made venture valve needs a little "help" getting air that far down. I don't remember when I got this pump but I know I didn't buy it. Someone must have...

Happy New Year everyone. My Kids.

This morning when the lights came on in my tank I said to myself, "Self" this tank is gorgeous. Not because I have the nicest corals, fish, aquascape, lights or anything else but because my tank, and "every" tank is a work of art. Especially today after I stirred up everything with a diatom...

I just love making typhoons with my diatom filter. I am not sure how the fish and corals like it though. But they will thank me later.

The only thing you could do is get more wives. :) I am still on my first starter wife, but it has only been about 43 years so I am ready for another tank and wife. :eek:

Thanks, I like that. :dance:

Here is the completed water cooled LED fixture with the re-designed splash guard on it from above.

My book party is today. I have a big poster of the book and it should be fun. We couldn't get the New York Aquarium because it is still closed due to Hurricane Sandy. Why knew? But we are having it in an Italian restaurant that I go to often and know the owners well. It should be fun. My...

Mark, thank you for responding. I also don't know how long fish keep their immunity but I am sure it varies by species. About the 72 days of quarantine, I would think way more fish die with that long a quarantine then they do with disease. About the live food, I actually want the bacteria...

So today I am making stuffed Calamari with linguini for one of the seafood dishes we will have tonight for Christmas Eve dinner. We are Italian so we have to have at least 7 types of seafood today. Last year we had 21 because we all bring something. Anyway I am stuffing the squid and I had to...

Two more days, Christmas Day is my Birthday and I am very happy because everyone celebrates it with me.

Happy Birthday Chris. My GrandSon's birthday is also (I think) the 27th

That's good to hear. Most people just throw rocks at me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We hang our stockings from the mantle of our fireplace before Christmas..... Oh, you mean fish..Never mind.

There are actually two very different methodiologies to run a reef tank. I am not talking about dosers, controllers, bio pellets, etc. I am talking about either qurantining everything or not quarantining anything but keeping everything immune. There are advantages and dis-advantages of each...

I finally found a use for the waste water from RO/DI. It was looking me in the face for years and all of a sudden as I was looking at my worm tank I said. "Like Duh". I am wasting all this water and my blackworm tank is right under my RO unit. So now the waste water goes into the worm...

My closest friend and dive partner, Richie Natoli just moved to Key Largo and here is a couple of pictures he sent me, Below water And above

Not if you have a feeder and fill it every day. :grin:
