I need to replace 2 legs on my tank stand which I built 30 years ago. Here is one of the legs, it is made of Kindorf which is what we use in construction to build almost everything. It is 1 1/2" square and is heavy galvanized steel but even heavy galvanized steel is no match for 30 years of...
I have been using a recipe for years that is guaranteed to work the first time, every time and is practically free.
I use one of those little round wire brushes that goes on a dremmel.
I just gluegunned it into a small acrylic tube so it is easier to hold and I stick it in a mojano and twist...
Yesterday I injected a bunch of them with metheline blue. I knew it would not kill them but now they are really cool looking.
Anyone want to buy deep blue baby carpet anemones? ;D
I got drafted before they started the lotery when I just turned 19.
So far I don't have any problems that I know of even though all of my time was spent in the bush, I never was in an area with a building or roof or anything.
Well at least the rain doesn't bother me any more.
I don't know if there are any other Nam Vets here besides me but I just received a letter of another Vet from that era that died from causes that could be attributed to Agent Orange.
My first Captain from there also just died in his fiftees from this cancer.

I had some free time so I thought I would annoy my mojanos.
I like to inject them with different things, just because. Well just because I can.
Today's mixture was calcium and straight Lugold Iodine.
They hate it when I do that. You should see what they write about me on the inside of the glass...
This last live blackworm keeper so far is working great. I never have a dead worm and they are even multiplying. This is my third model as the first two were too small for the amount of worms I need to keep.
The secret to these things is they have to age for a couple of weeks to build up some...
They are in this 10 gallon tank in my workshop. It is unheated and practically un lit except for a desk lamp with a 14 watt bulb. I use waste water from my reef for water changes. This tank has been set up for decades and I use it for unusual stuff that I don't want in my reef.
That wrasse looks...
How cute is this guy? He is the one I collected in the summer and doubled his size already.
This is of course my local animal tank and not my reef
The rest of the collected stuff is all also well. These two butterflies and two wrasses are looking good as well as all of the local hermit...
To update the algae trough, it is now full of hair algae looking stuff and is practically clogged. I need to clean out some of it so it does not overflow.
There is not a bit of this sticky looking algae growing in my reef so I am happy that the thing is doing it's job so well.
I want the...
