    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Good Morning. I walked the beach this morning and disturbed some amphipods. I didn't collect any as I didn't want to put them in my pocket as they tickle. (I added a little blue to this because New York mornings near the sea are much more gray) :)

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Since this is where I collect my water, maybe seagull poop is the secret. :oops:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This mornings walk was slightly interesting, but not much. It was a beautiful sunrise. AS I walked I came across what looked like an ancient campsite. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be and why it was so sloppy. Then I found out. I don't know who built it or drank all that...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This morning I collected and changed 40 gallons of water. I had to filter it because it was choppy and it rained hard last night about 2" so it was full of chopped up seaweed, bikini tops, truck tires and sand.

    I want to change some water before my shoulder surgery when I won't be able to do much of anything. :)

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I haven't changed any water since February and I am not a big water change guy but I want to try to collect 40 gallons and change it tomorrow. The last change I filled the tank 100% with ASW. I don't like that stuff and want to start putting back NSW. I used the ASW to try to eliminate the...

    Collecting Amphipods in the Long Island Sound

    Afraid of What? Amphipods don't bark, bite or jump on your leg. They are not protected or in danger of becoming extinct. They are easy to carry so no need for a hand truck. I have thousands in my tank for 50+ years so I know they don't eat fish.

    I can only take so much Macarana. And this is when we were in Bermuda and most of the people got off the ship. I asked our cabin attendant if he could find me a long rope so I could lover myself off the back of the ship and stick my head in the propeller. :confused:

    Collecting Amphipods in the Long Island Sound

    I took that video 2 days ago so yes, this is the time. My problem is you need to go low tide and that doesn't often happen when I have time to collect and it happens almost every 12 hours.

    Collecting Amphipods in the Long Island Sound

    You can't see it well in the video but after I lift a rock, I just rub my hand over the bottom of the rock, and the amphipods stick to my hand. When I want a lot more amphipods, I bring a larger bucket and swirl the rocks in the bucket. That way I get them all. These things make great...

    In a week or so I need to do a water change. I am not a big water change freak but my tank is now filled with ASW so I could eliminate invasive sponge which I did but now I want to get rid of this fake water and put in real seawater. Soon I will have my shoulder replaced and I won't be able...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I took another amphipod hunting video early this morning just because the last video I took doesn't work for some reason. When I get time I will see if this one works. I won't be able to get down there for a month or so now as I have other things I need to do least of which is get a new...
