    Everything I know in case I go Senile. (From 2014)

    Thats enough about food and immune systems. As I said, I am posting this because I know, in time I will forget, and then, even if no one else reads this (and I am quite certain only me and the night watchman at the OTB office will see it) I may again come across it in 10 or 15 years in my...

    Everything I know in case I go Senile. (From 2014)

    Sorry, I forgot to hit post. I am getting old (er) and in a few years I am sure I will start forgetting many of the things I learned through trial and error, the things I picked up in the 50s 60s and 70s that is all but forgotten about now as parchment paper degrades over time. I am fortunately...

    Everything I know in case I go Senile. (From 2014)

    I posted this someplace 5 years ago and figured I have nothing to say today except build things in my Man Cave so I am Re-Posting it again. If it contains anything not PC, irritating, racist, not ethical, unrealistic, argumentative, political, religious or anything else that is considered...

    GFI outlet or not? Help please.

    Forget about a surge. I have been an electrician for 900 years and I have never seen a surge. Unless you live in Bangladeshi, or the planet Ork, forget about it. If that really concerns you, get a surge protector. I wouldn't unless your house regularly gets hit by lightning or you drink White...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    While I am waiting for my wife to get up so we can go to breakfast I figured I would ramble, or waste time because there are no new posts that I am interested in or should comment on for fear that I would be banned for my "Avant Garde" procedures. I have been up since 1:00, not on purpose but...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    That's me. :D Last night I was feeding my tank, (and sipping some Grand Marnier) and I saw this huge claw sticking out under a coral. I thought to myself, then I said it out loud OMG, what is that? At first I thought a Godzilla Larvae somehow survived my very strict quarantine routine (NOT)...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Diana the neuroma if from the surgery, the surgeon said it comes from cutting all the nerves over the knee cap. The surgery itself was from the Manly jobs. I don't like Caribbean diving mainly because I am spoiled by the South Pacific. There are few large animals in the Caribbean and the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So I had this knee replaced over 4 months ago and if Christie Brinkley was 20' from me giving out free frags, I would not be able to beat a two year old with diaper rash to get over there. The Doc says I have a neuroma. That's great and just what I wanted. I don't think I will be able to...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just discovered 6 or 7 tiny creatures about 4 or 5 times the size of a new born brine shrimp on one of my powerheads. They were running all over the place so I caught one and put him under my microscope. I am not sure what they are but they are not fish and probably not Godzilla larvae so...

    After a week in my tank my new little Hippo Tang lost that white fungus or whatever it was, spot on his black stripe. I just took this picture. This is when I bought him a week ago.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I collected water today as it was 70 degrees. The air, not the water which is probably about 40. I tested the alk and it is 5. No wonder my tank is so low. My calcium kit doesn't really work as I can't get the reagents out of the bottle. :rolleyes: The salinity is also good for catfish so...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Just bring one bottle, I have so much wine that I can't close the door on my wine cabinets, or my wine closet, or my wine chiller. :confused: Just drive east and bear right at the Statue of Liberty. I'll keep the lights on. :D

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I need to cut back on this sponge and throw a bunch of it out. (unless anyone wants it) It grows rather fast but it is easy to cut. I lie a lot of sponges because they eat microscope particles (and parasites I would imagine) and they keep the water very clear. I just need to watch it because...
