Paulie I brought white worms to that meeting, you should have taken some. :) You can just order a starter culture of worms on line. Google them, they are about $15.00. You put them in potting soil, keep them very damp and feed dry cat food. Then multiply like crazy but I also know you can...

Paulie, I take rocks like that and cement it all together to make a big arch which I build everything on. Your tank is relatively small so you can't do to much building.

I think a lot of people make the mistake of buying, or collecting rock and stacking it in their tank. I think that is a totally wrong approach. When they collect rock in the sea they throw it up on a barge. Doing that breaks off all the cool looking protrusions so we get roundish, un...

Paulie, Sorry but seahorses and pipefish do not eat worms. I don't know why, but they never do. I use whiteworms now as I can grow them by the thousands and I can't get blackworms here. But horses won't eat those either.

As I sit here self quarantining myself I have a lot of time to look at and ponder my tank. As I study it from the front and the back which I just scraped clean just to do something I noticed something that we rarely speak about. We normally make our aquascape to look like something pleasing...

Baby grass shrimp is their main diet around where you live. Of course they can't handle the big ones.

Paulie, you are wise enough. I didn't write that entire thing myself. I found it and embelished it but I do like it and believe it.

You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them...

Good Morning. I left my main squeeze sleeping and I went to a supermarket. (She gave me a list) The Supermarket is open from 6-7:00 am for Geezers and Supermodels only. Supermodels don't need much food and they can get by just with a few squirts of chicken soup in their face twice a day...

Paulie everyone in my family had fish markets, in Sicily they fished. My Dad used to peddle fish across the Brooklyn Bridge with a bushel on his back. When he made enough money he bought a push cart and pushed that across the Bridge twice a day. That was about 1928 or so. He died suddenly at...

Why do we find this stuff so fascinating. (I actually posted this quite a few years ago somewhere, I think) I don't know about many of you guys but I have been watching fish for well over half a century and today as I was sitting close to my tank watching every move of every tentacle I started...

My wife and I just got back from donating a couple of dozen bagels to the local hospital. We have great bagels here in NY and dozens of varieties. The hospital put out an E Mail to the local residents that their staff of about 100 are working around the clock and can't go home because they are...

I built some cool stuff in Nam but I had little to work with as I never came out of the jungle. On this LZ I built this veranda out of bamboo that I cut down all around us and tied it together with commo wire. I got the tarp from the air force but I don't remember how or if I stole it or...

Mark I don't think I ever saw the movie "The Guardian" but I just saw snippets of it along with the scene with the helicopter. I can relate to that because I crashed twice in helicopters but not in a Huey or the Coast Guard helicopter like in the movie. This one we crashed right after taking...

Paulie that was the First Cav which I was in. A lot of people have no idea how that war was fought except from movies which are not really correct. On another note, Now we live out east on Long Island and it is not very populated out here. No one is worried about Lyme Disease any more from...

I just stirred up my tank using my very old diatom filter. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=paul+baldassano#id=9&vid=10691a3ad94e1403f7900285f8050b88&action=view And while I was doing that I decided to scrape the back glass to see if I could find some creatures that I...

I am very happy with my tank now. I have quite a lot of the fish I prefer to keep which are all smaller, odder and a little more difficult to get like the Janss Pipefish. I am going to try to list the fish but I am not near the tank. Copperband Hippo Tang 2 Rainsford Gobies 2 Possum Wrasses 2...

I went out just now on a foray for fish food. I was looking for LRS food in case they quarantine fish stores. The first one I went to closest to my home, about 15 miles away is a huge place but not any good for fish. They had a figure 8 puffer, a scat, an anemic looking shrimp and a few algae...

Video's of most of the Steam Punk that I built that move. Steampunk Lamps

I finally got my replacement copperband. I had to bring my wife for a procedure and she isn't taking it to well so I had to run in and run out of the LFS. He had 2 copperbands but one was a little larger than a quarter and one was about 2 1/2" I was going to take both of them, but I opted for...
