Here is the worm keeper I designed. You need shallow water and a constant flow over the worms. There is an airstone in the left tube which brings water up and over the worms. The right tube sends the water down. There are a few plastic screens formed into a circle to keep the worms from...

THose were my favorite years ;D Bill. Blackworms are not tubifex worms. Tell your LFS to go check a website. California Black worms are bred in ponds in California and other places, tubifex worms which are thinner come from drainage ditches. Just Google California Blackworms and you will see...

Reflections, guppies do not count. Even if they are acclimated to saltwater they are still fresh water fish and do not contain the proper oils. Mollies are also not saltwater fish even though they can live in saltwater. They are brackish but you need ocean living fish, fish that always live in...

Blange, I still have those books and many more. I even have my old TFHs from 1969 and Marine Fish magazines from 1972, they were in Black and white. I have been keeping fish from the fiftees, the early fiftees. :-\ As for feeding techniques, it is posted a few times on RC so I will just try to...

How do you edit anything? I have some mistakes and spelling errors.

That dolomite gravel has been in the tank over 40 years. It has never been replaced and has only been cleaned by stirring up twice. The UG plates were lifter after 25 years because I was curious as to what it looked like under there. In some of the pictures you can see what looks like cyano on...

This bluestripped pipefish on the right are hard to get a picture of. They are always on the move, are very skinny and stay in the shadows. They have been spawning for a couple of years.

There are five of these brackish bumblebee gobies in there as an experiment. They are not spawning yet

Here is that large fat gobi tending her eggs.

These two hermits are over ten years old and are also spawning

These guys have been spawning for years

This pair is also spawning but I can't find the eggs

The tank now has a nice bunch of corals but it has taken a different direction. I am not more interested in breeding gobies. I have about 20 different gobies, some kind of unusual a few pairs of which are spawning as are a pair of Bangai cardinals and bluestripped pipefish This is the clam I...

Wendy, thanks Here is my tank about 5 years ago. It was full of corals. Then about three years ago I had an acident. Now there are much less corals. My town added a large dose of zinc orthophosphate to the water supply and for some reason enough of it got through to kill most of the corals in an...

They are always spawning 8) Mike maybe they looked like watchmans when they were very young but they don't dig like a watchman. I have some watchmans. I really don't know and I don't know if I have a book with them in there, maybe someone on here does

:D Actually UG filters were first put to use in the early fiftees. Robert Straughn (The Father of Salt Water Fish Keeping) advocated their use in salt water but he did not understand the principal which made them work. He used them as a mechanical filter. Saltwater fish could not be kept before...

OK who has a problem with UG filters and why? Think hard before you reply ;D

Now they're this fat married lazy old couple

Mike these are the gobies when they were young
