    Respect memorial Day

    That's correct but money talks and most people today are to young, to liberal or just to involved in their cell phones to care or even know about important things like this. Memorial Day is for all the Wars America was involved in and we fought all over the world for many nations

    Respect memorial Day

    When I was a kid Memorial Day was called Decoration Day and it was a day of remembrance of all the people who died defending the United States and people would go to cemeteries and decorate the graves of our brave hero's who died so that we didn't have to. Today, sadly, most people think of...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This water collection device is all finished. I just back my car up to the Ocean. Any ocean will do. Then I throw the pump in the sea and plug the power plug into my power outlet in the back of my car or use my portable battery jumper. The thing pumps 1,100 gph of seawater into the vats in...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I went to Home Depot for styrofoam to put under my new tank and came out with a gigantic tool box. My wife and Daughter got it for me for Father's day. It's about 5' long and 6' high so I will be able to put most of my tools in it so I don't have to have tool boxes all over the place. They had...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have two big industrial machinists Vises, one on each workbench. I was going to leave them here for the new people and buy new ones, but I can't. I can't find an American Vise. I can't believe it that we don't make an American Vise and I don't buy tools from China, Well so far Amazon...

    A discussion on Immunity

    The stinger is the best part. :D A little while ago my door bell rang and I went upstairs to see who it was. It was this guy dressed in a bug exterminator uniform with a picture of a bug on it. I told him I don't need any bug exterminators and I walked into my back yard. He follows me...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My house is a maze of boxes. I filled 7- 50 gallon cans so far with stuff I am throwing out just from my workshop. I have about 20 boxes of stuff from there that I am keeping. It's amazing the stuff you can amass in 40 years. I can't touch the tank stuff yet because my new house is not...

    A discussion on Immunity

    Jeremy, I am not sure why many people don't believe this in this hobby and there is so much fish sickness when they should never get sick.. We are making them sick. :confused: I like to go right to the source and eat the bees. :eek:

    A discussion on Immunity

    Marc humans have only been living in sterile environments for the last 100 years. Before that, we basically pooped in the streets and ate filthy, half spoiled food. People have been around living like that for millions of years and we had no prizapro. The reason my fish are seemingly immune...

    A discussion on Immunity

    My wife and I just came back from a talk on MS by my wife's Neurologist who is touted as the best MS specialist on Long Island. Anyway the talk was about the immune system and the MS treatments, especially the new ones. There is a lot of interest now in gut bacteria and how it can change the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So yesterday for Mothers Day we went to our Daughters house in Manhattan to visit her and the Grand Kids. We had a nice, but noisy time and came home about 8:00pm. Before we got to our street we saw that the main road was closed with fire engines and police all over the place. I also couldn't...

    Happy Mothers Day

    The title says it all. I would personally like to thank all the Mothers, including mine, and my wife for all that you do that is not recognized. It is a very tough job and you don't get thanked enough for it. :p Grand Mothers are also Mothers so we should thank them also.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It seems that some corals actually like nitrates of 160 and Phosphates of 2.0. I have 2 duncans for quite some time and they both are smiling so much if they tilted their head, their brains would fall out. I tell that to my Grand Daughter, Greta and she slowly says "I am tilting my head". They...

    Copper Band Butterfly death

    I wrote an article someplace on this about copperbands. That sore spot on butterflies and other thin fish is internal bleeding and is rather common with those types of fish. I have autopsied many of them with that condition and it is internal bleeding. It is usually in the meaty portion of...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    David, I use a Vortex Diatom filter. I know other companies make them but I don't know anything about them. I have about 5 of them, mostly for parts to make others work. They are not built very well.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    You are right, I see it now. That piece on the right is not cemented on yet and probably won't go there. It is really just laying behind the piece, there is another one back there too. I need a few more pieces to finish what I am planning and that piece of wood won't go in my tank. :cool: It...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So far I have this. Built it out of 8 smaller rocks held together with stainless steel threaded rod, epoxy and cement. The right end I built with my left hand and knee. :rolleyes:
