This blue sponge that grows on virtually every spare piece of real estate in my tank is really looking nice. It is "Bluer" that it used to be for some reason. I think it is due to the clams I have been feeding and all the clam juice associated with it. The stuff grows a little to fast and I...

At 6:30 this morning the sun just stated to come out and I figured i would go for a bicycle ride. Loosen up the stiff muscles a little. There is a little hill next to a pond here and I started cruising down the hill. All of a sudden I see this young deer right in front of me not moving. As I...

Just in case anyone believes I am going to get wealthy beyond my wildest dreams with this book, I would like you to know that 100% of any profits from this book will be donated to MS (Multiple Sclerosis) research in my wife's name. She has had the disease for 20 years and is not really doing...

We just got back from Connecticut for a couple of days in a B&B for our 46th (I think) anniversary. It poured the entire time. We took the ferry there and it was fairly calm. As I looked over the side at the sea, I saw this large fin slicing through the water. I have been out there in the...

My old school was built out of wood. I think it is now a museum. :confused2:

I found my "almost" complete Log book from 1971 to the 90s. I see I was having trouble keeping corals but my Alk was 3 and my calcium was about 125 o_O I think I know the problem now. :cool: I also saw that I lost an awful lot of fish, but not from disease. I really didn't know what I was...

I still run an undergravel filter and dolomite. :cool:

Quarantine goes against everything I believe in, but this is for a new sterile tank with fake water and dead rock set up by a freckled faced Noob.

I am fairly sure I will never start up a new tank. If my tank ever crashed now, I would probably leave the hobby as I have been in it since the 50s and I think that is long enough. My wife and I would do some more traveling and maybe buy another house in the tropics someplace. Maybe open up a...

The pipefish, possum wrasse, perchlet, mandarins, hawkfish and a few others are camera shy

When wake up, I do push Ups like my Decorator Crab.

This weekend was pretty good. We went with another couple who have been our good friends for over 40 years to a very small town in Vermont called Poultney. Don't look on a map. Our Daughter owns a vacation home there. Anyway we live on Long Island so we took the ferry to Bridgeport Connecticut...

Working on it.

I just got a great deal. I went into an LFS and got a bunch of acropora pieces about 6" long and a really nice gorgonian for $60.00 Of course I am covered in crazy glue and epoxy, but it was worth it. It's all in my tank and so far looks real happy. :cool:

I was up a little before 5 but I looked out the window and it looked like sheet metal so I didn't go outside. I waited until I could at least see my feet. :cool:

I'm back from my early morning Bike ride and I didn't get eaten by any deer. I did notice some of them being beamed up to a UFO though :oops: This was over the golf course across the street from my house. But I don't play golf.

It's 5:45 am and as soon as I can see a little light I will be taking by bike out and heading for the beach. I got to keep these old bones working and walking up and down a cliff, 176 steps is all I need. I can't believe with two bum knees I can still do that. The steps don't bother me as long...

Today we are going to this very calm, un occupied lagoon with some friends to relax. If it's low tide I will try to collect some mud, amphipods, seaweed and maybe snails. It's a beautiful day and we want to take advantage of it as long as the nice weather is around. I had a little argument...

My tank is doing great. My hippo tang didn't get ich, dropsy, mononucleosis or anything else as some of the tang police said he would get if I didn't quarantine him (God Forbid) He also never gets algae clips or nori. My watchman gobies will spawn soon and my Janss pipefish is so healthy he...
