    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Good Morning, I hope everybody is safe. Being I am a Geezer I got my second Covid Vaccine shot today and to test it out I went to my Daughters house in Manhattan and licked the subway handrails. But don't do that. :culpability:

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    You are correct, it wasn't a reef aquarium as all we had was fish and crabs. Then shrimp and anemones came. I added animals as they were imported. Here is the tank is about 1971 Here is the first page I wrote in my Log book. This is one of the first Blue Devils imported in about 1972 or...

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    Thank you. The secret is that you have to get old. :cool: Most people who are 25 years old don't have 30 year old tanks. :huh:

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    Thank you. I also feel it is a milestone but to me it is also the last milestone. Here is a stupid video of a milestone. I think we all need to set milestones for most of the things we do. I always did in my job and my life (which rarely go as planned) :rolleyes: I feel I had milestones...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I can't believe it, just now I saw a gecko goby in my tank. I haven't seen that fish in 6 or 8 months. I may have two of them. I bought two of them about 5 years ago and it is a fish that stays well hidden and I have never seen the entire fish. I only get a very quick flash of a tail when I...

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    No, they just spawn and get eaten. If I shut off the pumps for a while, I can sometimes see tiny fish but I don't raise them any more and have not in decades.

    Actually that is a Grand Marnier bottle. I don't give my fish the cheap stuff. :cool:

    My Reef just reached 50 years old

    It was started in 1971 and was moved three times. The longest it was in one place was 40 years. The last move was almost 3 years ago. The glass was also changed three times as it got scratched from cleaning. It was started in a 40 gallon glass, then for 45 years it was in 100 gallon glass and...

    I couldn't move back my hammer coral so I just broke it. Now I have 4 pieces of it which started out as a tiny frag. Here is my new filefish

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    SPOTS. Oh NNNooooooo,,,, Spots. It's horrible. No not on my fish, don't be silly my fish are immune. I took my new Jeep to breakfast with my main squeeze and from all the snow there is ice all over my windows and the car is just full of spots. Most of them are salt and I can't just wipe...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This frogspawn grew a lot this year and it is to close to the front glass so I can't clean behind it. I am going to push back the entire center of the reef to give it more room. I am not loving this idea. :oops:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I was going to write another book but "War and Peace" was already written and most of that was stolen from me......word for word. :rolleyes: I got a Covid shot for my wife yesterday at Walgreens but OMG I never seen people work so slow in my life. Her appointment was for 1:00. We got there a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    All 4 of these people are me. We had a Poloroid camera in Nam that developed a picture in 60 seconds and you can take more than one picture on the same piece of film. I took one picture and put tape over half the lens and took the other picture. I guess I had nothing to do.

    My 2 new fish are eating well and look like they have been there forever. They made new friends and all get along famously.

    Old post: We react to stress much differently than fish do. As an example we can be in prison, hang gliding, dying of parrot fever, or being held in a jungle hut by Amazons or gorilla's and we will still be able to reproduce. It will have no impact on our reproductive functions. (unless...

    The danger of NSW.

    I don't have a beach house but live near one. This house on the sea in eastern Long Island I borrowed for a few days. I found a snake under this chair that wanted to spend time with me.

    Dremmel suggestions?

    I have the same problem with a big hammer coral. This one in the center grew about three times this size so I just broke a large piece off last year. Now the main colony is almost hitting the glass so I have to do it again, but I just break it even though I have 3 Dremmels. :biggrin:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I found my new filefish in the back of my tank, he is picking on all the sponges back there but it is dark and I can't get a picture of him. If he comes to the front I will see if I can get him to pose. The long nose ate right away. When he was in the bag in front of my tank he relaxed. He...
