Last night was the best fireworks display for me personally (since the By Centinial) We were anchored out in a bay in the Long Island Sound about 100 yards from the fireworks barge so they exploded over our heads. Our closest, life long friends were with us, But the best part is that from...

My wife worked at the same place for 28 years and yesterday was her last day. I don't know weather I should be happy or look for some TNT to blow my brains out. She doesn't have the interests like I do as I am busy from 5:30 in the morning to about 9 at night, then I watch TV. She also has MS...

I just came back from collecting 30 gallons of NSW and I would swear this stuff gets heavier every time I collect it. Normally I don't do much to it except heat it and add a little ASW because the salinity here in New York is low for some reason but it is very turbid with all sorts of black...

Thanks Saltkreep88. I added this marine Betta today. I took his picture while I was acclimating him because now that he is in my tank, I doubt I will ever see the entire fish again as they are hiders.

My montipora's are growing back nicely along with everything else. A good friend of mine is getting married so he took his tank down and gave me 4 wrasses including these beauties.

Today I went down to my boat to do some important stuff (relax). I noticed plenty of grass shrimp around the boat and I collected a bunch. After looking at the expression on their faces I could tell that they would rather stay in the marina than my tank so I said good bye and set them free...

I couldn't find my male bluestripe pipefish or my male ruby red dragonette for a week. I am not sure if they went on vacation together or just out for a bite to eat. But now their back, and with no explanation. They won't let me know where they were and I am sure I will never know.

Last night we again took my boat to the Statue of Liberty as we do a couple of times every year. I still get teery when I get near her. It was a nice trip and we stopped for dinner at a sea side restaurant in Queens. These pictures are from last year but it is the same scene so just make...

Actual I was going to say that that projector is really only an 8MM and not a Super 8. Super 8s were very valuable because they were all owned by Supermodels or used to show movies of Supermodels. I don't have a Super 8 anymore and I am not sure which Supermodel took it. Ryan, life is what...

Here is my projector. I think it is the same one Columbus used to entertain his crew on his ride over here. The thing still works.

Yesterday I went downstairs to do something creative, I don't remember, maybe trim my ear or nose hair and I noticed the carpet around the tank was damp. The tank is in a closet and has sat in this spot, on this home made stand since 1979. I didn't think the tank was leaking because this has...

It's not Victoria's secret, but a secret none the less

I posted this someplace else and decided to put it here, because I like it. If you don't want to read it, I think Oprah is giving away free Cadillac's to homeless cats. I have killed so many fish that I probably have helped with the extinction. Why do you think we thought Coelacanth's were...

No equipment, just my hand. Here are some video's but they were taken with my SCUBA camera so put the sound all the way up or you can't hear it.

N,I started my tank with water from here and add mud, snails, seaweed and amphipods all summer long. I run a very natural tank that depends on the "wild" bacteria which is another reason I don't quarantine as that is IMO un-natural and I couldn't do it using my approach and system. This is...

Yesterday I went to my favorite tide pool with my boat and did some collecting. (as I always do) It is the beginning of amphipod season and I collected thousands or maybe millions of them. Right now they are in an open net in my tank so they can swim, (or crawl) out at their leisure. I add...

After about 16 years one of my fireclowns feels he must bond with an anemone. I don't have any anemones so he is using a very large (and expensive) Duncan for a host. The Duncan is not amused and has not opened in a couple of weeks. I would like to spear the fireclown but probably would miss...

So it's been a week and this is what I have so far. Some streaks. The blobs are pieces of algae that I stuck on there to "seed" it but it looks like I didn't need to do that. A am not sure why it is growing in those streaks but I assume in a few weeks the thing will be covered in algae. If...

That is true, but the cabinet the tank is in is wood and a fire hazard, and the basement that the cabinet is in is wood and most of the house that the basement is under is wood so everything is a fire hazard. That light is a low voltage LED so not much chance of burning anything.

I realize that but I do my own research through my own experiments and come to conclusions that way. All of mine also used plastic mesh. Fire is not a problem as the thing is always soaking wet as water is constantly flowing over it. I am trying the cotton as an experiment because of the...
