This week I went to get my wife a new I Phone which is supposed to be smart. It's not as smart as it thinks it is. First of all a few months ago I went to a Verizon store and they told me she was not ready to upgrade until January of next year. But, for some reason they must think it is...

Somebody had to take the picture. And it was hard for them to walk there in their swim suits and high heels.

Sometimes I glue gun that outboard to my back so I can swim to my collection site faster. Here is a picture. I am squinting because the hot glue hurts when you apply it.

Yes, but Supermodels are cheaper to feed than amphipods.

I have a theory. I collected to many amphipods in the Long Island Sound so I am giving a few thousand away to someone who is coming tomorrow to take them, but in the meantime I am keeping them in a bare tank as I can't put them in my reef as it is overwhelmed with them already. I have to change...

My wife just saw this video and said, Wow, you look like a Moose. It is a Hero 3 camera and it only comes with a wide angle lens so I do look 50 lbs heavier. But I am not real skinny either way. And I am a Man, so who cares.

Today was a beautiful day so my wife and I went out with my friend and his wife to anchor where we always go a few yards off a tide pool in the Long Island Sound. I went to this spot yesterday and collected more amphipods that I could fit in my tank so I wasn't really collecting today. Just...

My wife is doing much better, thanks. She was out on the boat with me yesterday and is fine as long as we don't leave the harbor. She is not allowed to bounce around yet and probably not for the entire summer so I will be spending every boat outing at the tide pool which is fine with me. If I...

I am going back today but I can't handle any more amphipods. I will just check out the other life but I won't take any. I have been going there for many years and just like to study the life there.

Today it was a beautiful day so my wife, I and another friend went out on my boat. We anchored where I usually do right off a tide pool in the Long Island Sound. I took my dinghy to the tide pool to do a little collecting and it is now officially amphipod season. I go here almost every week...

I am not big into ties. I think maybe I wore two ties in the last 3 years and that was to much.

Maiden vovage, worked like a charm

I don't know, but it can beat eggs great.

So for Father's day my Daughter asked me what I needed. Last year I lost the lower unit to my tiny outboard that powers my dinghy so I asked her to get me one of those. I received it yesterday and it looks cool. My old one was 1 1/2hp and it was just about powerful enough for the two man...

One of my banana fish has a very severe case of Pop eye and if I could catch him, I could cure him in 5 seconds but he doesn't believe me and as soon as I approach the tank with a hypodermic needle, he hides. Go figure. It is healing and now most of the gas bubble has migrated to his forehead...

Some of my ideas are pretty cool, especially my cooler, or chiller. It runs by evaporation and uses as much electricity as a Supermodel while she is eating an M&M

How do you guys keep tanks without this stuff. The little helicopter thing with the floats is the top of the surface skimmer. The top of the thing can move up and down with the surface of the water and the floats, or film containers keep it at just the correct height to only skim the surface...

One of my clown gobies disappeared which is a relief. She probably died of old age or just retired as she laid eggs every week for a couple of years and between her and her boy friend killed a large acropora by covering it with eggs. I think that was their intention all along. I am not going to...

I figured out another reason why I hate to change water even though I made it much easier with pumps so I don't carry any water or do almost anything physical. I roll a 30 gallon container near the tank and using a large siphon hose with a strainer on it, I suck out about 25 gallons of water...

I just got back from the south shore where I was at my friends house on the water. I picked up a load of amphipod infested seaweeds which I just put in a live bearer trap hanging in my reef. In a couple of days I will remove most of the seaweed which will die in the tank. I just want the...
