I figure I would put this Chalk Bass here because he doesn't come out to the front very often. He normally spends his time writing on the back glass with chalk. On another note, look at that beautiful growth on my rocks. I love it but most people would get out the tooth brush :p

I normally walk around with a toothpick sticking out of my mouth. I quit smoking in Nam where cigarettes were free and started "smoking" toothpicks. My Grand Son, Teddy wants to look like me.

The News film crew is coming to my house this Saturday to film my meeting with Kathleen who wrote to me in Vietnam. I am pretty excited to meet her. Reefsandroos, I lived through the blizzard of 1948. The city, reassured by a weather forecast of “occasional flurries,” went about its...

I mean if you can't drive in the snow, why are you living in New York?

The world is full of Sissies and Snowflakes. In the almost 50 years I worked in Manhattan I never took off because of weather, and in the 70s we used to measure snow by the foot, not inches. I don't remember exactly when so many people lost the ability to do anything even remotely difficult...

So I have been coughing my brains out for a week and a TV crew is coming here in 4 days so I don't want to look like I am croaking when they are here. Normally I wouldn't care but I wanted to see if a Dr. could give me something to suppress this cough at least for a couple of days. After that I...

The little torch coral is still smiling so I will just change it. :)

Last week I mixed up 30 gallons of ASW. I am a little afraid to use NSW right now due to all the rain we had. The last time I used it, I had a produce farm. A day after I mixed it, it had a weird chemical smell that I never noticed before. (It's Instant Ocean) After a few days, the smell...

This is very cool. It takes pictures and sculptures of historical figures and puts modern hairstyles and clothes on them to see how they would look today. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Christmas-History.mp4?_=1

OK, or drive here from wherever you live :D I went in my workshop late last night when the lights on the tank were off. My 3 waspfish were all over the place searching for food. No wonder they hardly eat in the day. Now I have to throw some food in there at night.

I could get at least 4 of them for that. :)

These guys I got for about 25 or 30 bucks. The place south of him about 8 miles charges $90.00 for them. Hippo tangs are also about $25.00 while other stores in the neighborhood charge $75.00 These guys are between 8 and 14 bucks. When he has them. He is slim on corals. Not much to...

It's in Coram Long Island. He has no phone. Yeah, I know. https://www.facebook.com/p/Aqua-Hut-100063591390236/

I have been going to this guy for 50 years. He is my age and does get interesting stuff, most of it he sells for practically free. I hope he never goes out of business. I don't think I would pay $80.00 for Hippo tangs and Copperbands. He sells them for$25.00 or $30.00

We are having a bunch of company for dinner tonight so I have been cooking and baking all day. I am making Manhattan clam chowder for the people who like (and asked) for that. The other couple don't eat sea food, (must be Communists) so we are making them meatloaf. I also baked 2 loaves of...

Yesterday I went to my favorite 50 year old LFS. When I got there he was running out to Home Depot. He had a flood. This place is so old and there is always so much water on the floor I am not sure how he knew he had a leak unless he saw a couple of lipstick tangs swimming between his feet...

It has an adjustable "bulkhead" inside that can be raised or lowered and being it is on the outflow of the skimmer, the water in this device sets the height of the water in the skimmer. I just need to wait for the acrylic solvent to dry.

OOOOoohhhhhhNNNNNNooooooo.......I was "playing" behind my reef tank putting a 5 gallon office water cooler bottle (empty) on a shelf. It fell off into my 5' skimmer. Instant flood. OMG, I thought the skimmer broke as water was spurting out really fast. It is the DIY acrylic chamber that is...

Maybe I should read it again. I forgot what I wrote :p The first printing was in color but I understand the new ones with the picture of the copperband on the cover is black and white. I don't know why because I asked for color and I don't know how to change it. :confused:

So this year I am changing the way I donate the money from my book to the MS society. I used to wait until I got $500.00, then I would donate that. But I can't figure out Amazons web site so I will just wait until the end of the year when they send me the W2 form for my taxes. I just got it and...
