No, it's American made, I only buy American

I found some old pictures of my tank. These were on film and I am not sure what year it was but the one with the big leather coral (or one just like it) was in FAMMA magazine

I have been wanting to re design my workshop since I moved here 35 years ago, I just "almost" finished it today. I got that little lab sink At Home Depot and I built those drawers under the bench. It took me a few decades to think about adding that sink, and between yesterday and today, I...

Matt, that looks really nice Daniel, what bottles?

This picture was taken by my dive partner probably in the Caymans. I love the look of the gorgonian against the blue background of the sea. This is hard to reproduce in a tank because usually a blue background will look fake in a tank so I go for black. But I like the sparse look of this.

OK, not that I am an expert on anything but I am old and have an old tank that I think is natural looking. Of course that is my opinion and it certainly is not the nicest tank or most natural looking tank but I thought it would make for good conversation. There are plenty of really nice looking...

That was me but I would feed him more clams and less pellets. I designed a feeder for Idols that was a dish that sat on the bottom. A tube went to the surface and had a little funnel on it. An auto feeder was above that and maybe 5 times a day it would dispense pellets that I first soaked in...

I have been doing this for over fifty years and never once adjusted my pH. Leave the thing alone and throw out that test kit before you screw up your tank.

I know of that product, I just never knew if it was reef safe as it has more ingredients in it then regular cement. But if it works in a reef, I may switch to it

I have some older pictures of him. This one is not to long ago, I think just 5 or so years. This one is probably the oldest one I have because this is before digital photography. All the older pictures would be on film and I would have to search through archives. This was during a...

either Sakrete Mortor mix of cement mix. The Mortor mix is easier to work with because it is stickier

I soak them in fresh water for a couple of weeks then throw them in my tank. Probably a third of my tank is now hollow, cement rocks. I would imagine the fact that they are hollow benefits in regard to bacterial growth but I can't swear to it. I just like the rocks I build better than what I...

You can make any shape you like, I cover the PVC with string like a bakery uses and smear cement on that. It usually takes about 4 or 5 coats as not much will stick the first time. This piece is cement with real rocks cemented together. It is almost 18" long and is the backbone of my reef...

I have been building hollow rocks for decades using Sakrete over PVC like this piece. They start out like this

My amphipods have canker sores older than you. Dance

Grilling is good, but he would probably be tough

In a few weeks this Fireclown will be 21 years old and I don't know weather to throw him a party of just get a cake. He will also be able to legally drink so I was thinking of dosing Vodka.

I want one.

I just love my dragon faced pipefish. Very cool creatures. Video

These guys have been in my tank for I think a year or so. I had the male first, then added the female and they immediately started dating. They are very cool and this is the fourth gobi they have paired with and they have been with him the longest. Every day I shoot some clam or worms into one...
