I posted this in 2016. Why so many problem threads I can't believe that there are so many problems in this rewarding hobby. If you read through these forums you will read almost nothing but problems and this is supposed to be a hobby. A hobby is supposed to be fun. If you have been in this...

I just found this. I always built my Daughter Halloween costumes and she normally won whatever contest she was in. Virtually all her costumes were weird and most were mechanized or at least lit up. Once right after she was married she wanted to walk in the Halloween Day Parade in Manhattan and...

I replied to a guy on another forum with this Tbrown, I also have a 3D printer but it takes me so long to design something on it that I rarely use it. My printer is a Resin printer and it makes beautiful and useful things (I don't make stupid dragons, Vikings or little Chinese guys carrying...

I like walking early in the morning when it's pitch dark. My wife thinks I am nuts and is scared for me. Not to many things scare me in the dark. OK a couple of things scare me a little such as maybe Nancy Pelosi's big sister "Helga-Bro" Thats her given name. :oops: But the thing that...

This is going to be a useless post about nothing but being it is my thread and very few people read It, I put it here. About getting Old-er. I looked into the mirror this morning and thought to myself, Wow, I got old. I don't remember getting old, but I am there. My Mom died at 99 and never...

I don't think I even know how to do that. If I did, he would be candle apple red. :eek2:

I was looking at my Hippo tang just now and I don't think I ever saw a better looking or healthier fish. His skin looks like velvet. (No, he doesn't have velvet. Thats something only quarantined fish would get) :rolleyes: My fish can't even spell "velvit". This picture is right out of my...

Kathleen called me last night and my wife and I were so excited. She is a very well read and intelligent sounding Lady who is also very accomplished. She is still working as an executive for a huge company that everyone knows. She can speak some Spanish and French and traveled and lived much of...

I am so excited, I just now received this E Mail from "Reefing with ReefBum" who interviewed me on YouTube. It blew me away and I can't wait to call her. I remember this letter. Hi Paul, I hope you are well. I received a very unique email from someone who is trying to contact u. Below is the...

LOL, I dove for lobsters in the western sound for many years and many times at night when the visibility was better (with a light) but still never much better than 2' or so, usually about 12" I used a CB antenna that I put a wooden handle on. I would touch their tail and they would turn around...

I posted this on some other forums and figured I would also put it here. I have been SCUBA diving since Nixon was President (right after Lincoln) and a couple of hundred of those dives were right here in New York in near zero visibility. Every year the sea changes and sometimes so much you...

My Crab is so happy for some reason that he is doing the macarana. :anguished-face: Or he thinks he is an octopus. :confused2:

Cold, dark, 23 degree, windy walk this morning. This is a Mans walk just before the sun rose. It makes you feel alive. (I know, I look like a terrorist) Hard to take a selfie with big mittens on. Walking, especially in the cold, rain or snow clears my head and allows my wife to sleep without me...

I take silly Cholesterol pills but I think I will throw them out. Maybe feed some to my firefish. They are 33 years old and they annoy me as I can't put my hand in the tank. They are also "constantly" spawning and it annoys me. They think they are teenagers. (Yes I am Jealous) :confused...

I like this small diatom filter so much that I put it on the tank almost every day just to look at it. :) It's on it now. I just stick the suction hose in the tank to start the siphon and plug it in. I may build another one just because I can even though I now have 2 of them.

It's much easier to build the thing than to list the parts. :oops:

Of course you need some hoses and matching stainless steel hose clamps. Diatom powder, not food grade as it won't work.

I am going to post a parts list for the larger Diatom filter unit. Some pictures show many parts but if you only need one, get one. All of this is available in Home Depot and the PVC fittings are cheap. I can explain how to put it together if need be This is the canister I used Hydronix...

I think I want to talk about health because today I am all excited. People health, not fish as that has been done to death and IMO fish should never get sick, we make them sick. But since this is my thread and very few people read it I am going to discuss our health a little. Of course I am not...
