OOOHHHH NNNOOOOO. Disaster. No Really!!. I looked at my tank and it was all foggy. OK, maybe smoky. A combination of foggy and smoky. My friend was here and he said, "That coral looks like it is dead!!!" I said, "Can't be" It was fine a few hours ago. Then I noticed my skimmer wasn't...

I thought about the Supermodel with the paddle and I have a call into Christie Brinley as she lives near here, but I have not heard back from her. I was also going to use my 2 1/2 HP outboard motor but my wife frowns on the noise and the fumes.

I want a new (or old) powerhead and I can't find one. I have 3 of these and they are at least 40 years old. They never needed any maintenance except occasionally sticking my finger in the intake screen to clean out amphipod shells, Godzilla larvae and bristleworms. They work forever and are...

Talking about things to do, once our crowd got together and rented tree houses on a tiny Island in a river. We had to drive through a shallow part of the river to get there. We slept in the tree houses about 15' up in the trees. There was a storm and we had to drive off the island through...

I can't buy an interesting fish no matter how much money I throw at them. They got tangs and angelfish and I find them very boring. Nothing unusual. Corals, forgetaboutit. They got tiny frags and at my age, I don't do tiny anything. I probably couldn't see them or my hermit crabs would...

Doing a little maintenance with a diatom filter. Sucking out some Cyano and general tidying up. Using a reverse UG filter requires that I do this occasionally so nothing clogs. This is the beginning. In a minute or two, you can't see anything in the tank but the copperband loves it and looks...

No, Not my tank. Don't be ridiculous. I use an undergravel filter so it can't crash. My white worm culture crashed. :mad: I think it may be ten years old and the worms are disappearing. They may be to inbred or have a social disease. I am not sure what it is but after the last worm...

So I got the boat back to the Marina this morning and they took it out of the water. The first thing I noticed is that they didn't put any bolts in the two "Zinc's" on the power tilt pistons. This would not cause any problem like the one I am having but the zinc's are supposed to be bolted...

Yes, we got there just before it rained. It started just before we left. But we got 40 gallons. :cool:

Collecting NSW in a storm. I want the Ozone infused water in my tank.

I just got back from my favorite LFS. We had Doctors appointments in the old neighborhood and that is where the store it so I go. (My blood Pressure is 170 over 70 so they may put me on the cover of "Perfect Blood Pressure" Magazine) I twisted my good leg in the Dr's office stairway and now I...

No, but Christie Brinkley lives near here so I keep looking. East Hampton is also not that far and that is a Supermodel Mecca so just the fact that they are so close makes me happy through osmosis. :rolleyes:

So this morning I took my normal bike ride to the cliff to go down to the beach. It is a little brisk today. I put my bike there and started down the long walk to the stairs. This is part of the walk way to the stairs. Then I got to the stairs and heard all this rustling as it is a steep cliff...

I love it. :cool:

That Hippo Tang I threw in my tank two or three months ago looks great. No spots, no lumbago, no irritable bowel, no cataracts, no worms, no flukes, no flounders no nothing. That health comes from not quarantining. I also don't feed him lettuce, spinach or "The impossible burger". He eats...

She is so cute I can't stand it. Yesterday she told our Daughter she was bored and has nothing to do. My Daughter said to Play with your Brother. She said, I hate him. So she said to play with her dolls. She said, I hate them, they don't do anything. My Daughter said to read your tablet...

Thanks, she is 7 now. But it is the only Supermarket picture I have.

We are having company this weekend so we went to Costco to get hamburgers. We are taking them on the boat then back to the pool to Bar be cue. So my wife says we can just "jump" into Costco for the hamburgers. We get to Costco and I run to the cell phone booth because I need a new battery on my...

Today I am designing another Steam Punk Project. Still in the very early stages. The bottom part is a 1910 or so Broadway light housing, I am not sure what the middle part is but it is some sort of timing device with all brass gears. The top is from the Railroad in the 60s. It has some huge...

I am back from my morning exercise. I took my bike to the stairs that lead to the beach. On the way there I saw so many deer and they were so close to the road that I could count the ticks on them. There was only one Buck that I could see. I think his last name was Rogers. The stairs...
