No, just a normal 4" decorator crab

I am at a loss for words which is a first for me so I will just update my tank. OK, thee is nothing to update, it is the same as it always is. I can try to name the fish but I am sure I will miss some. 2 Gecko Gobies Copperband Mandarin Scooter "Bleeny" Queen Anthius Possum Wrasse...

They really don't want you to repair these Chinese LED fixtures. My blue lights went out so I took the thing apart to fix it. I figured it was the driver, but it was the LEDs themselves. 5 of them were sort of melted. I had a couple of blue LEDs and I shorted out one to get the thing...

So this morning I went for my walk, Bike ride. Down the 167 steps to the beach and I noticed that it was dead low tide. I have never been on this beach, behind my house before at dead low tide and I noticed that there were seaweed covered rocks exposed. Seaweed covered rocks are to me...

Running of the Fiddler Crabs. The fiddling was horrendous.

I don't rinse them to feed them. I do flood the entire container every couple of months to clean out worm poop and eliminate the mites that multiply by the millions. They float so they just wash away in my flooding.

Great article Diana. The beach should be fantastic today. At five AM I was on our beach as I wanted to exercise and it is 167 steps to get down there. i did it twice then I rode my bike. We may go to dinner tonight on the boat. Enjoy your time on the beach and don't waste time reading about...

IMO worms are about the best food you can feed along with clams. These foods contain bacteria "That our fish need" to stay healthy along with the fats, minerals and everything else to keep them healthy. I hear all the time that worms are to hard to keep and they have to be kept cool. No, they...

Sponge, thank you. It's 125 gallons. There are about 25 fish in there but just before I took the pictures, I cleaned the glass so they headed for the back as they probably thought I was hungry for sushi. The ich magnet hasn't seemed to attract any parasites yet, but he is still searching for...

Experimenting with the camera.

I will try to get some new tank pictures now that I got that old Steamer Trunk out of my shop.

That 40 gallons of NSW water I added was the largest water change I ever did in my life that I remember. My tank is 125 gallons so there is probably about 90 gallons of water in there so that was almost half of the water. The seawater was 76 degrees so I just had to heat it up 2 degrees, but...

Last night there was a huge threat of thunder storms. As a matter of fact, my phone kept giving me this annoying noise with an announcement of the storm, flooding, lightning, meteorites, brimstone and everything else they could warn you about. I couldn't listen to the radio because it was all...

I have my car all packed up with empty containers to collect water in the morning, maybe do a little porgy fishing. I have enough storage in my Jeep to collect about 40 gallons (If I don't break a spring) My nitrates creeped up to about 30 and I would like to lower them to like 29...

You wouldn't find it unusual if you saw my bottles. You don't just throw in a bottle. This is one of the bottles that I "built" for my tank. Does it look natural? Or like a piece of PVC from Home Depot?

I didn't think of skipping a step, that would only be half the work. :rolleyes: Most of the stairs are up and out of the picture. They are a little steep but I "may" be able to do it twice. Not yet, but maybe soon. :D I just need the time.

This morning I felt really energized, probably because I only had one Grand Marnier last night before bed. So I figured I would do more exercise this morning. I felt like going to the beach, down and up those 165 steps but I also wanted to bike ride. Actually, like most people I hate to...

I haven't seen Christie yet but she does live near here and I have Oogled, I mean seen her in the past. I even seen Billy a few times. :rolleyes: I am Italian, Sicilian to be exact and we do eat a lot of great dinners. But we don't generally eat them in an apple orchard with a semi world...

Last night was fabulous. No, my Copperband butterfly didn't have babies and Christie Brinkley didn't knock on my door to borrow a cup of Instant Ocean salt. It was almost better than that. We went to a wine pairing with very old friends which I didn't really want to go to. I figured it...

Yes Diana. The inside was paper on top of wood and the paper deteriorated beyond recognition. It was so bad I vacuumed it out. I also ordered a picture of a "Lady" from the time period to replace the one that was stuck inside the lid. All those trunks had a picture of a Lady there. I found...
