    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    There are dozens of bristle worms under that sponge but you should be able to see them and I will try not to give you any. But remember my tank is all NSW and I never quarantined anything so if your tank gets over run with Godzilla Larvae, trilobites, or Justin Bieber looking pods, I told you so.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    OOOOOHhhhhhhhhNNNNOOooooooo. I was sneaking around my tank, looking for something to clean, re-build, re-design or just hide from my wife and my biggest fear materialized. Well, not my biggest fear as that would be if Christie Brinkley, Angelina Jolie and one of the Victoria Secret Supermodels...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    To big is bigger than about 3 or 4". I like lots of interesting, or rare fish rather than a few of what I would consider common and boring fish like tangs, angels , moray eels, lionfish, groupers, manta rays etc.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yesterday on the way home from taking my wife to a Dr. on the side of the road I see this huge sign "Aquarium". So of course I swerved, almost killing us by turning over my Jeep to get to this store which I didn't know existed. It is 50 minutes from my house and not hard to get to. I can't...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I could bring all you want. (If I come) Why would you have to buy it? Can't I just give it to you?

    It looks like this blue stuff under the Devilfish.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just trimmed a bunch of sponge again. It slowly creeps up around the corals and I don't notice it as it is very sneaky. It is also not that easy to trim as the fireclown keeps biting me and to cut the stuff where it is on rough rock is not simple. Then I reach in to tear it off but like...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I finished a new Steam Punk Lamp. This one is strictly Steam Punk and there are no gears or motors. You push down the lever with the weight on the chain and it contacts a magnet on the top of the vintage telephone box lighting the lamp. The water valve handle dims it. That is a temporary...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I finally got my resin printer to print. All the problems were my fault. I had to upgrade my computer and remove a piece of plastic from under the printing platform that read: "REMOVE BEFORE PRINTING" like Duh. So I designed and printed this test gear. It won't be able to function as a...

    Live Whiteworms

    I just fed my tank Clams, mysis, LRS and live whiteworms which I have aprox a million. I honestly have no idea how people stay in this hobby without feeding live worms. I have been using worms since they were invented by probably Ralph Nader a long time ago. Whiteworms stay alive in salt...

    Why I Find Tangs Boring

    I feel by far the fish with the most personality are puffers, porcupine fish or this burrfish. I collected this tiny guy here in New York in the Atlantic. He must have got caught up in the Gulf Stream and ended up here on a Long Island beach in a few feet of water. He was fingernail size. I...

    Why I Find Tangs Boring

    Another creature with personality is hermit crabs. Many years ago my best friend and dive partner were diving here in New York with in the City limits where the visibility was probably 36". We were diving for lobsters and for them there is no need to see far because there is no swimming...

    Humble, what are you doing here? I didn't know you visited. Nice to see you. :cool:

    Why I Find Tangs Boring

    I actually do see yellow tangs by themselves. So make believe this is not about yellow tangs. :biggrin:
