I am moving soon so I had to trim This sponge, I have about a pound of the stuff. It is photosynthetic and I think may be the reason my water is so clear. It seems to love high nitrates as mine are off the chart. Must pick it up soon. I won't mail it, ship it, Parcel Post it or put it on my...

Soon I hope. The new people got their mortgage today now I just need my place finished. Hopefully by May 30

I just had to change 5 water cooled LEDs on my tank as the blue lights went out and while I was fixing it, I must have shorted the white LEDs out and had to change some of those. But I have a bunch of old ones around and I wanted to take the thing apart to clean off some corrosion anyway...

Sponges must love nitrates. It is getting hard to keep trimming this almost 18" blue sponge I have on one side of my tank. It started creeping up my bed last night. I thought it was my wife so I hugged it. But it was all cold, slimy and spongy smelling unlike my wife so I just said EEwe and...

I am fairly sure I will be up most of the time after I am dead. :confused:

So yesterday I had to go to a Hand Doctor. For some reason I am susceptible to this trigger finger thing (maybe I got that in Viet Nam) But as you get older, you are susceptible to all sorts of things which is why it is so exciting to wake up. For instance last night I slept in my Grand Kids...

If you notice, especially in the beginning those "flimsy" pieces of food he likes the best is clam. I freeze it and shave off tissue thin pieces of it. He can, and does eat large pieces of it because I cut it so thin. You can't do that with a fresh clam but it is easy with a big, frozen clam...

They are having clams (that I buy live and freeze) Mysis and LRS food. They get this every day but I switch the clams for live worms every other day or so. I don't remember how old the copperband is but he was as big as a nickel or quarter when I got him maybe 5 or 6 years ago. The fireclown...

I could easily go back, I mean if I could. We will see. :)

I finished the stand for my new tank in my new home. It is redwood but I also coated it with Thompsons Waterseal just for fun. The front 4X4 is doubled. The thing is functional, very simple and very strong and stable. Now all I need is the tank. In a few days I should get my Undergravel...

Wow, thanks so much. I was going to swing a dead chicken. I am so glad I asked you. :rolleyes:

Mr Humblefish, I am a Total Noob and each one of my fish in a 5 gallon tank have a different issue. My blue tang turned orange and my yellow tang turned green. My leopard wrasse looks like a lionfish and my bird wrasse looks more like a penguin. Should I dose Prizapro or dip them in Vinegar...

Oh NOOOOOOOoooo. Not Bobby (Humblefish) My fish are scared they will be torn out and quarantined. :eek: (Hi Bobby) Bobby is my long lost twin brother but we have different Mothers and Fathers, live in different states and never met. :D But he knows his fish diseases. :)

Man warns pet owners after fish tank releases 'second deadliest' poison, hospitalizes 10

The Caribbean is not the best place for corals, the more interesting ones come from the South Pacific. Too many people in the Caribbean, to many boats, too much pollution. There are mostly these encrusting types, a lot of sponges and some Elkhorn. Nothing you would see in a tank. Plenty of...

At the last party we went to , Mick Jagger was there but he didn't dance. Kelly Ripa did a lot of dancing. Next to the party place is the "Fish Market". My family had a fish market so I wanted to see what they had. The fishing boat, comes in right next to the place and it was filled with...

Thanks David. I don't do bought stands or almost anything else. Anyone can buy a stand and the manufactured ones look so flimsy. :confused:

I started building my new stand today for the 125 gallon tank for my new house. I will probably start a tank move thread when it gets a little closer to the move which should be in a few weeks. I am building this stand out of red wood because it warps the least of all woods except cedar which...

I used a whip and a chair :rolleyes: I never trained a mandarin and the people who feel they "trained" their mandarin to eat frozen food are giving that fish too much credit. They eat it eventually on their own. Thats like saying I trained my wrasse to jump out. An emerald crab will not...

Why didn't that picture show up?
