Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
This acro grew from a 1/2" piece to a foot across ion a couple of years. The dead parts are where the clown gobies spawn on it. They have no compassion or care what things cost.
No, that's it. There is quite a bit of SPS already in there and it has been a few years since I built that fixture. It seems like only the elkhorn was complaining about not having enough light. The acropora's montipora's and 5 or 6 others have no problems. I realize they are easy corals...
I wasn't crazy about my DIY light fixture because I bought a staghorn coral and it croaked. I needed more light. So I took the thing apart, as shown here
I built another strip of LEDs on an aluminum square and bolted it on.
I also built a new fan housing to accommodate the new wiring
And...
I thought that was to wash the fish off. What else could it be for. It's cellulose, or plastic.
The worms die in about 10 seconds so once they realize they are food, they eat them as soon as they hit the water. But that fish doesn't look to good. What are all those blotches on it or is that...
I got an emergency appointment this morning with a real Doctor. I could have gotten an appointment yesterday with a witch doctor but he texted to tell me he ran out of chicken bones so I went to a real bone guy who went to high school and everything. I am not a Noob when it comes to joint...
Yesterday I went swimming like I do a few times a week for exercise and a few hours later I get this sharp pain in the my hip joint. So I figure I am old and you are supposed to get pains. If you don't have a variety of pains, you didn't work hard enough all your life. So last night it woke...
That new 5' LED strip I built with the 12 LEDs on it gets hot so I don't leave it on all day. I temporarily mounted it to my existing LED fixture but still need to remove the entire fixture and make a new fan housing which incorporates this new strip into it. Right now, there is no air flow...
My car rattles were the stabilizer links (stupid, stupid, stupid) I tightened them and didn't think they were the problem, but I was stupid. I don't know how I let that go by. Some people even suggested that to me. But sometimes I am just stupid. The stabilizer bar links are the easiest and...
I checked my tank a little while ago and noticed it was almost overflowing. I see that a float switch is stuck open. That float is many years old and I don't think I cleaned it in over a year so it was good that I was home. Now of course from all the fresh water going in there I could keep...
Getting the boat ready, changing oil and painting outdrives. Collecting season is almost here. If anyone wants to go collecting grass shrimp or amphipods (during the week) let me know. But not for a month or so. Of course, if you are in Montana, it may not be worth it
I am glad you don't want a sub zero. I am on my second one and I think they are made very cheaply compared to what they cost which is about as much as a small car.
I go to a tidepool at low tide and lift rocks or pieces of wood, then swirl them in a bucket. Here is a video. You need the sound all the way up because it was a SCUBA diving camera.
This is the tide pool
Last week during a snow storm I took my wife to my favorite restaurant on Long Island, where we ate while watching the snow fall on the sea and the beach. This beach is not far from where I will be collecting in a few weeks. Hopefully, it won't be snowing then.
I had to change this on my PT Cruiser today and I am happy to say that I can still crawl under a car. It's not real easy to get up, but I still got it. This is a motor mount I think. It was rattling as the rubber bushing is shot. I really didn't pay attention to what it's function was but it...
That is 2 fans. There are holes in the fan housing and matching holes in the tubing so the fans suck air through the tubes and blows it upward. My new addition will make it 4 tubes and a larger fan and fan housing. The principal will be the same.
