    Band, whoos, flood aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

    After it is installed I will share it. I already built one under my reef tank and under my boiler and hot water heater that will just shut off the water to that. But now I am going for the entire house as we sometimes go away in the winter and if the heat goes off, the pipes will freeze.

    Everything is fine and dry now. I am in the process of building a leak detector that will shut off my water main if there is a leak anywhere in the house. I already built one for under my boiler and hot water heater.

    Worm keeper conversion

    I would build a DIY space shuttle but I won't have the time this week and my neighbors frown on that sort of thing.

    Band, whoos, flood aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

    No, not the tank, My house. I am so lucky, no, not that I got this flood, but the circumstances. My wife and I were getting ready to go out to our marina for dinner and my wife hears this Bang. Then she hears water running, fast. She says, what was that and why do I hear water running. I...

    Worm keeper conversion

    I converted my DIY, evaporating chiller, that was already converted from a bio ball chamber to a worm bacteria grower to increase the bacteria in my worm keeper so I can keep many more blackworms. The acrylic thing at the top with the water flowing over plates is the old chiller that is not...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today I went to my favorite LFS to see if they got in a female dragon faced pipefish but no luck yet. I want to spawn mine and he looks depressed. On sunday they are supposed to get in 4 corythoichtys which are very cool but have a weird name. They are pipefish that look similar to dragon face...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I looked back at a book I started (and will never finish writing) in 1971 and at that time, or a couple of years later I started keeping copperbands. They are a great fish with a lot of personality. But if I could not get live blackworms, I would not keep one. Here is a video of the one I have...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This is the first time in decades that I don't have a Hippo Tang in my tank. I also don't have any percula clownfish. I just don't like percula's and have had to many of them. Besides my fireclown would chase it out of the tank. I do like hippo tangs but after a few years in my tank they...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I fixed my ozonizer. I probably should not have tested it by putting the outlet hose in my nose but it is fixed. An instant headache proves that it works and the fact that I almost had to call the EMS with the paddles proves that it works great. Yesterday I fed my fish and I heard a big...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I got about 10 more crabs today so I am set and don't need any more. But of course, if I get the urge, I will catch more just because I can. It is going to be a fabulous boating weekend.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have them almost every week. There is a place I go by boat in the Bronx right under the Throgs Neck Bridge that charges $6.00 a dozen for clams which is giving them away. My marina charges $18.00 a dozen. That is where that picture of me eating the shrimp was taken.

    Eat them, I will. I have about 2 dozen and I will go again tomorrow to get another dozen. We are having a lot of company from Boston so we need a lot of linguini and crabs.
