This is the link to the book out today http://www.saltwatersmarts.com/avant-garde-marine-aquarist/

My book just came out five minutes ago, OK, maybe 6. It is here http://www.saltwatersmarts.com/avant-garde-marine-aquarist/ I am on the cover because Christie Brinkley never answered my texts.

This tooth was more like an inner ear operation. Teeth are overrated and a stupid invention. I have 8 or 9 implants that I love because I could eat rocks if I want. I normally don't eat rocks but I could probably open clams with them. It is a shame that we start with a cavity, then...

The Pope just landed here in New York a little while ago. You can't go near Manhattan. I don't want to anyway but if I did, I couldn't get there. I saw the last Pope that came to Manhattan. He seems like a nice guy and I bet he has a tank full of Angelfish at the Vatican. I think the Pope...

It seems all of my fish are happy and healthy. Since I blocked some open spaces I have not lost anything from jumping. The summer has been great so I am starting to slow down. It's almost time to put the boat away and stop collecting amphipods and mud. I noticed my acropora is receding and...

Mark, that is interesting, maybe thats why my tank seems to do so well with the mud I collect from the Sound and add to the tank. I will send you my address, thanks. Here is another article I wrote about fish health. It's kind of tongue in cheek like most of my writings. I like to have fun...

Mark, this is great, thank you. I was always opposed to the garlic thing but you may be changing my mind. Most people use it to enhance a fishes appetite but I don't know how that works out. Me, being of Italian decent have garlic every day. I never get sick, maybe thats why. :) I like the...

Mark, Thank you for posting. It boggles my mind how many people don't agree with this and think sterility is the way to go. I hate it when my mind is boggled. I can't even bring it up on some forums. Well, one actually.

After riding the crowded subways in Manhattan for 40 years, I am sure I have licked the hand rails a few times because sometimes they are so crowded that your face is pushed up against them and you can't move. I think many in this hobby are thinking as we did in the 70s, but I feel we need to...

I took this from my boat, the World Trade Center used to be just to the right of the Freedom Tower This of course is the fountain where one tower stood. (It was pouring rain here) I worked on the construction of the World Trade Center in the 70s

Saltcreep, I would imagine Prizapro will kill all bacteria, but I am guessing. Mark, you are missing my point. I agree with you that you should not put a new fish into a "healthy" population of fish. But your definition of healthy is different than mine. My definition of healthy is when fish...

That is a tough question and I am not sure I have the answer. My fish keep their immunity because I don't quarantine anything and feed live or frozen foods exclusively along with the bacteria they have on and in them. If you have a tank where everything was quarantined for a long time and you...

I have been thinking about this for seven or eight years and finally, through scientific research and my experimentation I think I have figured out something that may change the way we run aquariums. For many years I have been feeding live blackworms, live amphipods and live new born brine...

Yesterday on 9/11. my Daughter took this picture from her Manhattan window. I also went by there on my boat.

The book has been finished for a while and hopefully will be out in a couple of weeks. At least thats what the publisher tells me. Believe me I want it out more then you. I am not sure whats taking so long, I think they want to make a movie from it and they are trying to get Brad Pitt to play...

I took a picture

Yes they will. I picked up a used one today from my friend's LFS. I traded him for some brine shrimp eggs.

Oh No. My UGF pump died. This is the fourth one of these I have that croaked. You can fix them up to a point but eventually the seal where the wire enters the thing gets porous and although it will work in air. I don't really need a fan, I need a pump and when I put it in my tank it trips...

In case anyone is from Oregon or Wisconsin and has never seen how muscles look at low tide in a tide pool. This is where I collect amphipods, shrimp, mud, blue claw crabs (for dinner) and other things. But no Supermodels, they don't go there.
