Today my knee isn't working and I had to many cortizone shots already as it is coming out of my ears. I need another new knee but I can't get one because I can't be laid up that long so I am nursing it as much as I can. Of course I put that heating salve stuff all over it as everyone does even...

I don't have a problem with any of those small gobies. They are just there. :)

I have always had yellow clown gobies and they always spawn. A little to much because they lay their eggs on acropora SPS and kill it. I lost most of my acropora from them spawning. They spawn about every 10 days. You can see her eggs over her here.

Hi DIYguy, my Watchmans are also spawning. Here they are with their eggs. I have always had a pair of Watchmans and they always spawned. They live about 10 years and in my tank anyway also live with a spawning pair of pistol shrimp. I can tell the differences in shrimp but the Watchmans...

Hi DIYguy. I do have a pair of them but you can't tell which is which. At least I can't. As you probably know they kind of graze all day on the mulm and algae in the back of the tank. Mine also eat live whiteworms. They paired up on their own with no help from me. They hide out in the back...

I took a nice walk this morning (in the rain) and I can't wait for the day I can put my winter coat away. I live about 90 yards from the sea and in the early morning it is cold and damp. Due to the dampness, there are earthworms all over the streets. Of course I picked up a couple and threw...

My good deed last week was rewarded. Last week as a van in front of me was pulling away and I noticed a wad of hundred dollar bills on his back bumper with a phone. I banged on the side of the truck and gave it to the driver who was very appreciative. Yesterday my wife and I was in a diner...

Yesterday I was talking to someone from my old neighborhood. Not my last neighborhood, the neighborhood I grew up in in Queens New York. I grew up in the 50s and during the 50s and 60s Humans spawned some very weird people. Some Geezers here may remember "Woodstock" (google it) I lived through...

Very busy today.; I am cutting out large pieces of encrusting sponges to eliminate. Much of my reef is blue sponge which looks nice but it takes up most of the real estate. I found 2 big bottles that I totally forgot about because they were fully taken over and covered. I opened up quite a...

It's this blue stuff. Kind of nice looking.

My wife asked me if I could dry them and use them for sponges to wash the car. :oo:

I just spent an hour cutting sponges off my corals and I have the stuff growing all over the place. I do this every few months and it is time consuming but kind of relaxing. I need to do it because if I don't, instead of a reef, I would have a sponge farm. So if you are bored or like delicate...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. :cautious: Well, I am finished. Water is changed and luckily Petco didn't have those fish. Just some anemic looking clownfish. :)

I am sitting in my workshop/Man cave waiting for my collected water to heat up and I notice the salinity is way to low. I threw in some salt but I don't have enough. Of course I also tested the water in my reef and that is also way to low. :unsure: I can probably keep kissing gouramies and...

Beautiful day here in Long Island today so I collected 40 gallons of water behind my house. The alk was 7 and the temp was 40. I didn't test calcium but the salinity is 1.016. It is crystal clear so I don't have to do anything to it except warm it up and maybe add some salt.

Thank you. I was only going for amazing but I will take talented. :biggrin:

The parts alone are almost $2,000.00 so probably not right now. :p It isn't worth what I would have to charge for it. The central part of the thing is an antique and apparently pretty rare, but someone, thankfully gave it to me. I have about 12 different lamps left and they are all...

I just finished a new lamp. This is made out of a solid brass locomotive oiler from the 1850s. It incorporates a firebulb and two ultraviolet, glowing glass tubes.

If it ever stops raining here I would like to change some water. I don't remember changing any since last summer and I don't want to read back through my posts to figure out when it was. I am not a big water change person and it probably almost never has to be changed but I just feel it should...

Thank you Diana. But I am sure you would have returned it also. :)
