    Oak-a-Nuts is very cool.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    The tank cleared up nicely after the 2 typhoons. I didn't even lost the bluestripe pipefish as I usually do. Maybe they took a trip when I did it. I may still do it again if I get time before boating season because I cant hit all the places because the corals are larger than they used to be...

    Conversation with my 2 1/2 year old Grand Daughter

    Conversation between my 2 1/2 year old Grand Daughter Greta and my Daughter (her Mother) "Does God have a dog?" "I'm not sure. Probably, because he invented dogs so he probably likes them and has a bunch. If I meet him one day, I'll ask him." "Can I come?" "Someday. But maybe not with me."...

    I like to keep slightly harder fish

    That noise is the fans on my LED light fixture that I built. But it does sound like an old 16MM film camera which I still have by the way. Why, are they out of style now?

    I just realized my reef is 44 years old this month.

    I picked up another shrimpfish today. I can't stand it, they are just to cool. They had two of them and one was dead. Although the dead one was very cheap, I took the still alive one. I am sure in a few days he will be in fighting shape in my tank. Yes, I know these are not shrimpfish. I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I got one filter going great and made another typhoon because you can't have to many typhoons. This is s a good one as I can't see the back of my tank so I know I am sucking out a couple of years worth of muck. I think the diatom will last for the entire cleaning. I repaired the bag, stopped...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My workbench looks like a diatom re-design factory. The XL is on the left, I think I have two more units stored away somewhere in various stages of disassembly. It is odd, that the motors are the same but the large XL unit on the left has a much smaller impeller. I never figured that out. I...

    I thought you couldn't stir a DSB or you will be cursed and spend the rest of eternity in the fusion zone.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Doing some much needed maintenance. Once a year or so I stir up the gravel as good as I can all the way down to the reverse UG filter. This typhoon makes a mess and the pipefish are making nasty faces at me as I normally lose my bluestripe pipefish when I do this, but I am going slow and...

    I just realized my reef is 44 years old this month.

    I am not sure about that, but it is the oldest tank in my house. But I am the oldest thing in my house. I will try to light those candles underwater. Maybe the nitrate will help them burn

    Feed your fish

    I think I write somewhere between Tolstoy, Hemmingway and Dr, Seuss so the book is between "War and Peace", "old Man and the Sea", and "Horton Hears a Who". I hope to get a Pulitzer and an EMMY but will settle for a slice of Pizza Dance This book will make me rich beyond my wildest...

    Feed your fish

    I think I can keep a moorish Idol indefinately now but my tank is not big enough so I won't be getting another one. Oddly enough, Idols were one of the first fish available in the 70s. I don't keep worms in the fridge, I built a worm keeper. I wrote this article about them...

    Feed your fish

    OK I got a theory. Not a very good theory, but a theory none the less. I had an epiphany, that's an idea. I was looking at my tank last night and something hit me. I mean, after my wife hit me. I read all the time of the problems, diseases, fish dying (or going off to college) water...

    Can anyone reccomend a miter saw?

    I also like DeWalt and most of my power tools are DeWalt. I used to do a lot of woodwork but not so much any more. If anyone wants this real cheap, let me know. I have a much smaller one and rarely use this one any more and I need the space. It's on the table like it shows. I love the thing...

    Majano Wand or High powered laser for aiptasia removal

    Of course I am partial to the Majano Wand being I invented and patented the thing. Dance Last year we came out with a Mini that is about 6" long for hard to get places. But there is also the laser and filefish.
