I am waiting to go to the hospital. They called and changed it from 7:00 to 9:00 am so I have time to do nothing. I actually watched a video of the shoulder replacement and I told my surgeon that if has a problem to wake me up so I can give him some pointers. He wasn't amused. :p I also may...

Thanks Jamie. :D

This morning after my 6:00am beach walk I did a little maintenance that needed to be done before my tomorrow morning surgery. Things I won't be able to do for a while. I noticed my skimmer water level was to low and I found the ozonizer almost clogged. That happens about every two months and...

Glue them back on with bathtub calk. They love that. :)

I don't know whats going on with my tank but it's a good thing. My inhabitants have always been healthy but after I eliminated the invasive sponge and the subsequent dino's and algae that resulted from it and I changed out 80 gallons of ASW and put in NSW, (That I have used for years) everything...

If I go away for 7 days, I make about 10 containers of food just in case I get eaten by a mantis shrimp while I am diving. :oops:

I got my fish food prepared for my surgery next week as I won't be able to use my left arm for a while. I also do this when I go away so my tank sitter only has to dump one in the tank every day. These are film containers. For anyone under 50, film was used in cameras before cell phones. It...

I only started one tank in my house 52 years ago and I still have it. I have started quite a few tanks in stores but I am not sure why so many people keep starting up new tanks. What is happening to the old tanks as I feel they are immortal. :rolleyes:

It's a shame when new hobbiests first start up a tank and see a little cyano, hair algae or diatoms they panic and come on these forums for advice and almost always are hit with a plethora of suggestions as to what chemicals or animals they should add to remedy something that is a natural...

Now that my tank almost instantly recovered from my massive sponge elimination and the Ugly stage it created that lasted about 5 months, the tank looks just like the Great Barrier Reef. Almost all the corals, even the ones that I thought were dead came to life and look fantastic. The water...

This was a true story and I think I posted it a year or two ago I remember being quite cold many times but once in particular sticks in my mind. It was 1970 and I was a Sargent in the Army in Colorado before I went to Nam. I did my jungle training in Colorado in the winter and in Colorado if it...

Good Morning. I realize my morning, Sunrise pictures all look alike so I went earlier this morning, about 5:45 and got lower sunrise pictures. I just love my morning walks as it wakes me up and makes me see how beautiful some places on Earth still are.

Maybe, but my workshop/Mancave floor may make him think differently. :oops:

He's sleeping now.

Yes I can. But I am getting a new shoulder in 2 weeks and I can't do much with my left arm now. That coral is all the way on the left side of my tank and I need a small step stool to reach the bottom of my tank. :rolleyes: This morning on my beautiful beach walk at dawn I collected some...

I could do that but I like the size of it for somewhere near the center of the tank. I do have it growing in other places but pieces broke off by themselves and grew there. I am sure in a year this thing will also be invasive and will cover my tank. I think this leather will be easier to...

I am in a conundrum. This leather coral grew to a foot high and it is hitting the front glass and wants to stick to it. I need to move it but it grew on a DIY rock that takes up about a quarter of my tank so I will have to remove many pounds of rock to re locate it. :( It needs to be done but...

Dental Hygiene is important for everyone. Cleaning the teeth on a friendly Great White Shark. (I think he is a Vegan)

Yes, she has pain meds. I tried to steal some from her but she wouldn't let me have any. :confused: She is doing well and not in to much pain. Her 2 kids are "helping" her....Somewhat. :rolleyes: I think we will both be in casts at the same time as my surgery is in about 10 days so I hope...

My Daughter is out of surgery and the Doc said she did well. They inserted a 3" titanium plate in her wrist and set the bones in her arm and hand. The nerve block is probably worn off by now so I don't know how she is but from my vast surgery experiences, she is in quite a bit if pain.
