I am working on a new SteamPunk Light. I just started it, it's the red fire extinguisher thing. Maybe I will make something I can put in my tank.

Thank you.

Now I am cured enough that I think I can clean my algae scrubber. I can just about raise my left arm high enough to dis connect the thing and take it off.. It is really clogged and needs attention because if I don't do it soon,it will start to squirt water on the walls. I just want to make...

There was a Doctor on TV this week who must have read this thread (yeah right) because he was talking about eating dirt to enhance your immunity and why so many people get sick now. Of course I related this to fish. I read everything this man wrote then googled "Eat Dirt" and found a wealth of...

Lets remember that 75 years ago today Pearl Harbor was attacked bringing us into the war with Japan. Thousands of lives were lost on that day of Infamy

Thanks Red

Thanks

I finished my Steampunk Lamp. I would like to take the credit for the design but I can't. I actually saw it on a site called "Intructables". I found it by accident and they have a lot of cool things to build or just to get ideas from. I embellished on this project by adding a water valve...

I just looked under my tank and see that I have to add two more leg supports as two legs are badly rusted. It will have to wait a while because of the shoulder surgery. This material I used to construct this stand about 40 years ago is called "Kindorf". It is a structural support we use for...

Today I tried to move stuff around in my tank to fit the gorgonians in better and of course I broke some stuff and had to re glue it. I am working with one arm (due to shoulder operation) and I have to put on two gloves to prevent the male fireclown from biting my hand off. The two gloves is the...

I also feed my white worms and blackworms yeast. The tank is now crystal clear so I guess it is fine. Of course tomorrow I will up the dosage. :eek:

I just decided (possibly stupidly) to feed my corals yeast. I feed it to my worms and they are always smiling but now my tank is all cloudy from yeast. So either the tank will crash or It will make one heck of a salty loaf of bread. When I get bored, I sometimes do stupid things. :oo:

A friend of mine on another forum had an Idea to use a shop vac to clean the scrubber. Great Idea. I did it in 2 minutes and the thing is almost brand new. I still have to take it apart eventually to clean the slot, but it's working perfectly.

One of the pitfalls of having shoulder surgery is that it is difficult to do any tank maintenance that requires two hands. I can feed the tank, clean the glass and the skimmer cup but that's about it. My algae scrubber is so full that the algae is sloughing off the thing and falling into the...

That smaller one has been in there for over a year (I think) I have always had them but when they shed, my bristleworms kill them. I would like to get 3 or 4 more but I need to trap the larger worms. They are also very cheap.

Today I went to my favorite LFS again. While there I say this beautiful lipstick tang and the way she was looking at me with those pouty lips, I almost went home with her. But then I thought, this thing will probably live for 20 years. At that time I will be in my 80s, probably senile, blind...

Today I picked up a couple of corals. One is about 6" and the other two are small. I had to cut about 6" of my blue sponge so it has some light. I will give that away, hopefully someone wants it. It isn't easy to glue frags because I am still in a sling and can't raise my arm. I got them in...

i had shoulder operation #5 today. I hope he used some quality toggle bolts and not from home depot. nerve blockers are great so no pain yet, but I know what it feels when it wears off. but it is a real man pain and not a girly man pain......besides I got plenty of pain pills. sorry about...

I just made some delicious stuffed calamari for dinner that we will have over linguini and clams tonight. I had too many tentacles left over and didn't want to throw them away so I chopped some of it up for my fish. I generally don't feed squid to my fish as I feel clams are much better but my...

If I could catch this wrasse I would give him away as he has gotten a little big for my tank. He is about 6". I am talking about the striped one, not the spotted leopard.
