    Snails clogging pumps

    All is well but they are definately snails. Looking closely at the rock with a scope, they are all over the place. They are not local mud snails and I did not add any rocks or corals in many months, maybe years. Cool looking little suckers, I just hope they don't grow or I will have to buy a lot...

    Snails clogging pumps

    As I was loking at my tank today I noticed that there was hardly anything moving. Not the fish, the corals. I felt the two powerheads to determine that they were running (they are very old and may croak at any minute) So I removed the homemade strainers to find them clogged with tiny snails, or...

    The boiling effect is cool and I like to see pieces of the thing fall away.

    They disintegrate in a few seconds so I doubt they release anything

    Here is my newest model. The shrink tubing is just for looks to hide the solder joints inside the tube.

    I am glad they are working so well. As you know it is a very new design so I design out any bugs I hear about. You guys use it a lot more than I do because I zapped most of my mojanos so I look for feedback to make improvements. I really did not want to get into the mojano business because now...

    collecting amphipods

    I have been collecting, swimming and SCUBA diving in that water all my life and have yet to be stung by anything. I am fairly sure I ate there also Nope, been to Aruba, it's a little to the south of Montauk ::)

    collecting amphipods

    This week my wife and I went to the east end of Long Island, Montauk. We have cousins and friends out there so we go often, it's only about 80 miles from my home. I usually collect water, seaweeds and amphipipods when we go. This little deserted beach in East Hampton is loaded with amphipods...

    Why is this hobby so expensive?

    Exactly, I don't find this hobby expensive at all and I have been in it for over fifty years. I really don't have any idea what many people are buying. I buy some MH lamps every 18 months or so and some salt. I don't change much water so I use enough salt to make 100 gallons of water a year...

    I shipped about 30 of these things and so far (thank God) I have not had any complaints. The Post Office lost two of them but thats about it. If I knew I had to ship so many, I would have hired a spokes model. I wonder if there are any un imployed supermodels that want to work for peanuts. 8)...

    Someone on another forum posted that on the model he was building he had to replace the graphite electrode in a few minutes so I did a test. I ran these two electrodes in salt water continousely for one hour. As you can see by the picture, there is no decay on either electrode. The graphite is...
