    What Thermometer do you use and do you really think it's that accurate?

    :grin: I was just looking around and it seems that my entire house and life is DIY :undecided: I guess I just love doing stuff. This week I am working on my Daughter and her Husband's Halloween costume. They will be walking in the parade downtown Manhattan. It is the Brooklyn Bridge, all lit...

    What Thermometer do you use and do you really think it's that accurate?

    It could be. It is older than most members here It did, the Plaza Hotel boiler room to be exact. I worked in many buildings in Manhattan and whenever I found something I found interesting that we were going to upgrade, I would take the old one home. :grin:That brass thermometer probably...

    Things you dislike about the hobby?

    Thats because there are no experts, this is a hobby and there is no school you or any one else can go to for hobby knowledge. Trial and error is the only way to go.

    What Thermometer do you use and do you really think it's that accurate?

    Thats because at my age you start to lose brain cells and I didn't post the picture. It's the round thing on the wall. Is it accurate? I doubt it.

    i need feeding advice please

    I would forget the Selcon on the mysis, it will just wash off the mysis as soon as it hits the water and it is expensive and doing no good the way you are using it. It just falls off wet foods. If you want to feed Selcon, soak some dry pellets in it. I soak pellets in fish oil (the same type I...

    Bristle worms

    The ones without the guns are. I have never seen them hurt anything that is living, but anything dead will disappear in a few minutes.

    Bristle worms

    A while ago I added a Shrimp/gobi combination and just today they moved to a home at the back corner of the tank under my overflow skimmer. Anyway they are in a place where food never gets to so I shot some pellets near them. In less than a minute the entire corner of the tank extending about...

    Holding down corals

    I don't know about most people but I have a problem with small corals staying put. Especially is you have a type of fish that like to re aquascape. Yes, you can glue everything in but that makes it hard to move things later if need be. I like to use lead. I know if fresh water they sell lead...

    Old Fish

    Old fish. What is an old fish? I am not sure but I do know that some fish live a really long time. How long? Real long, like over 20 years. I think most larger fish can live much longer than that but the small fish we normally keep seem to have a much shorter lifespan. :disillusionment: From my...

    Wedding anniversary

    We did the tourist thing (even though we live here) and I took my wife to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I looked up my Grand Father's name and found him as all my ancestors came through there. I am glad we went because as Americans and New Yorkers, I felt I really should go at least...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This last March my tank was 40 years old. Thats not why I started this thread but I figured I would mention it because I know that somewhere on here there was a thread about it. I can't find it so I am putting this here. A few weeks ago I added one of those silly gobi/shrimp pairs. As soon as...
