I just did one of the things that I love to do which I have mentioned before. I removed a bottle that I have not emptied in years and dumped it out in a flask to check out what is living in there. It is an entire eco system. There was a nice strand of seaweed growing right in the center like a...

The panels only work to reduce the bill. I still use power from the power company. When it is light out, the panels generate power. Not usually enough to supply all of my electricity needs but it saves about 1/3rd of my bill.

Ocean City is nice. We went there many years ago. I was showing my daughter how to surf after a hurricaine (very smart) and the waves were crashing on the sidewalk. I know that because I rode a wave in and could not get off it until I hit the sidewalk, head first. I broke my collarbone, tore the...

They are a good sign, leave them alone. You can read to them if you like ::)

Fish like blackworms so much that they may refuse any other type of food. That happened with my Bangai Cardinals. They get spoiled and only want worms, so I always feed something else first.

I have been telling people about these things for 20 years. How come no one believed me? Just feed something else besides blackworms or you will be sorry. The fish may not eat anything else. A fish like a copperband can and should be fed them every day. Thats what they eat. Worms

I didn't think of that, you may be correct. :P

I think I know who said that 8) Stick with the worms. Let me feed the salmon eggs. If you feed the fish what they are supposed to eat, they "may" never get ich. My fish never do, I wonder why

I use a 5'homemade venturi skimmer which is bolted to the back of the tank. The overflow chamber is only a few inches wide and is also home made. The overflow chamber is just to feed the skimmer. I have no sump

Five or six years ago I built and installed a trough in my main reef to control algae. I want algae in my tank but not growing on my corals so I built something which has better growing conditions than the main tank. I feel algae is healthy and if there is no algae at all, the tank has a...

I use a reverse UG filter and I also use an in tank overflow which feeds the protein skimmer. There is no sump and no exporting of water. A diatom filter is used occasionally a few times a year. There were no sumps or drilled tanks when I started this system. It has worked fine for almost 4 decades.

I freeze about 7 or 8 of them at a time in those little trays that mysis comes in. I don't add water or anything else. But after you thaw them in some water you still need to rinse them until the water comes off clear. Do it gently so as not to break the eggs.

OK blame the missing fish on my worm advice. Maybe your fish are sissies and can't handle a worm ;D The copperband should thrive on worms, it is their natural diet and one of the few fish that should be fed worms every day. They live a long happy life on worms. ;)

Yes you should have

I have always fed all sorts of fish eggs including flounder and you are correct, they are thrown out in a seafood market. You can even get lobster eggs for free in some places

There are a few H Marts by me, I am in New Hyde Park

I get it in H Mart. But whatever eggs you feed, rinse them well to remove the slime or your skimmer will make you pay

Any saltwater fish roe will work. Salmon have a high oil content which is why I also eat it.

I got this many for $10.00 bucks. it's about 4 ounces. They have much smaller eggs but the store where I go to doesen't have anything in between
