    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I can't believe that at this stage of my life, I live in such a beautiful place. And, it's in New York. New York is about the most populated place in the US, but here, near the eastern end of Long Island on the North Shore. Away from the very rich south shore, I walk on the beach every...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Nothing exciting on my morning beach walk except this lobster buoy. I did try to rescue 3 horseshoe crabs but they were too dead to be helped. I left it there but many people hang them on their property. It's hard to see here because it was very sunny, but I have 4 types of seaweed that I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I think these guys either spawned or are about to spawn. They have been in this hole for a couple of days and I saw them doing the Macarena which I think in Waspfish talk means spawning. :love_heart:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    As I was on here this morning, I heard my wife scream. She fell in the bedroom so of course I ran to her but couldn't get her back on to the bed. The days where I would lift her up and put her on my shoulder are long over and she is not overweight by any stretch of the imagination. But...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My morning beach walk I love my morning walks, especially low tide when I find most of the interesting things. Today was high tide but I still find things that got blown or washed all the way up on the beach. Live concrete Live piece of a dock, probably from Connecticut. Live asphalt. I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It took a couple of years but I got to say, my tank doesn't look too bad now. It went through a couple of years of everything being covered with invasive sponge which killed all my gorgonians and lots of corals. Then a year or two of Dino's, which killed more corals, then very long hair algae...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I noticed that this guy has a few spots on it's tail. I find that to be a good thing as it means I still have some living parasites swimming around in there keeping my fish immune. :D I added two fish yesterday but I can't find this guy. He ate right away but must be realizing he is in a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    When I went into my Man cave to put the worms away it was dark and my tank light wasn't on yet. I noticed one of my Pigmy Waspfish on top of a rock looking bored but I know he was hunting as they are nocturnal and want to eat at night, sort of like one of my old girlfriends who may have been a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It rained last night so on my morning walk I took my worm collection stuff. I guess it didn't rain hard enough because I only got 2 worms. The streets were drying up so the worms made it back to the dirt before I got there but there were dozens of huge nightcrawlers all over the street. I...

    I brought that Watchman back to the store and picked up 2 fish. A 6 Line and some kind of sand sifter that I have not seen before. I took the pictures through the back of the tank so they are not clear. The LFS tanks had a lot of ich in them so I may see a couple of spots in a few days.

    This is years ago when I caught a wrasse that got to big.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This Watchman got a little to big for my liking. About 5", and I think he ate a bunch of small fish, namely all my yellow clown gobies. There is no way to catch anything in my tank with a trap or net, so I made a tiny hook out of a needle. Baited it with a clam and went fishing. I tried...

    Good Morning. Someone went through a lot of work to remove hundreds of rocks so they can get into the water on this rocky beach. At low tide the cut goes out about 75'

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today I got a little bored so I wanted to do a little tank maintenance. For some reason my rock migrates closer to the front of the tank and being I built most of my rock, it is in big pieces so to move one, I have to remove a lot of smaller rocks. I needed to move the entire reef structure on...

    I am a Licensed boat Captain but I had to look very hard to see if any of these boaters did anything wrong. Look closely and see if you can find any mistakes.

    The last time I mentioned I needed help installing my wife's walk-in Handicapped bathtub, I got more help than I could fit. :biggrin:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It rained last night so I figured I would go worm hunting on my morning walk. I walked and walked and found 3 worms. Just 3. Not a very accomplished hunt. I walked 5,000 steps, sucked up $14.00 worth of oxygen and burned up 400 calories and have almost nothing to show for it. I did find a...
