    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I don't think that would work. Much of my tank is DIY rock and it has a lot of protrusions on it not really like store bought rock. Much of it is also dead corals from the last 50 years that I left in there so imagine using a rotary wire wheel on a piece of dead acropora with sponge coated...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I will attempt to do that. First I have to crawl out of my tank. :D This is getting to be a lot of work. I have to get a 10 gallon tank for some of my corals that are encrusted with sponge because I can't get the corals off without killing them. I can remove as much visible sponge as I can...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I removed about a quarter of the rock on one side of my tank to try to remove as much sponge as I can I cut the corals off the rocks and put them back in the tank. The rocks I removed, about 10lbs I scraped as much sponge off as I could and used a stainless steel brush on the really encrusted...

    This year will be our 50th Wedding anniversary so we were going to take one of those Mississippi Riverboat cruises. Just the two of us. I don't want to go to Europe with all their problems. We have been to about all the Caribbean, Tahitian, and Hawaiian Islands and there isn't really many places...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am going to fill the tank completely with ASW for a while as I don't think that sponge will live in it. I hope not anyway. The NSW I collect is loaded with silicates and that feeds the stuff. When I am certain no sponge is alive, I may switch back to NSW or at least 50% NSW. I really don't...

    I have all my passwords scratched into the case on my I Phone. But I did it up side down so no one will know how to read them. :D

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Good Morning. On my walk in the cold and dark this morning I was thinking about passwords. I hate anything with passwords because they never work for old people and are just made for Millennials or pre schoolers. My Grand Daughter who is 10 has no problems. And has anyone noticed that they...

    Last night for company I baked a great loaf of bread loaded with bacon bits. It was the best bread I ever made. It can't be bad with bacon.

    I can't do much work on my tank today except collect more fresh water from my RO/DI. My Grand Kids are coming over tomorrow and they always look for the sunken ship bubbler they gave me a few years ago for Christmas so I put it in today. It is making salt spray on my lights. :)

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am in the process of mixing a lot of ASW. I am going to make the biggest water change I ever had, maybe 80 gallons because I think all the silicates from my NSW are feeding this invasive sponge. I will change the water then in the old water in a huge vat I will put the sponge rock in the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am not exactly sure what I am going to do with my tank. The sponge took over most of the real estate and it killed all the hard corals and some of the others. I have been having luck killing it by injecting vinegar into it but as it dies it creates hair algae and a stringy slime which I am...

    Thank you Myron. There was no sun early this morning because like many days this time of the year it was misty. My camera added a little lighting. All of the pictures I took in the last few months are walking distance from my home and most are only a few hundred yards away. :D We have a...
