Execution Lighthouse was built in the early 1800s and sits in the middle of the Lond Island Sound. It has never been opened to the public and was sealed shut since the 1970s. The Coast Guard is giving away all of it's lighthouses for one dollar with a few stipulations. The owners must maintain...
I did something tonight that I never do and it is against one of my cardinal fish keeping rules.
I fed my fish flakes :hmm2:
That was 15 minutes ago and they are still writing bad things about my family on the inside of the glass.
It was a mistake, I didn't have time to feed them yesterday...

Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together..
After we boarded our flight, I...
Now this is a very cool picture of the fish corner of my workshop.
The big blue thing hanging is the RO/DI water tank. It is high because it siphons to the tank above the ceiling about 30' away.
You can just make out the acrylic DI resins to the left of the blue bucket. There is a homemade float...
This is what this fish looked two years ago in it's yellow phase.
She has recently changed to look like the next picture, this is the same fish
Eventually they look like this old married couple. I don't remember how old they are but they have been spawning for a few years. I have four of...
Abitnutty, seahorses are easy to collect with a two man seine net that you drag through grass flats. You can't catch them with a baited trap.
I don't sell my feeders anymore, I built and sold 6,000 of them, thats enough ::)
Good luch with those horses, they are a nice find and a real interesting animal.
This is the thing I invented. Mods don't worry I am not selling them anymore.

They are very common on the east coast. I collected a dozen last week. This pair I collected in NY are spawning. You can see the female transfering the eggs to the male.
They lived a couple of years and I raised the fry to adulthood and spawned them also. The problem with seahorses is that they...
No, I think you should turn the volume down a little. One of those pumps could do the entire thing if you feel like piping them together like I did. I think about 100GPH down each tube would be perfect. You are not trying to push a lot of water down there. With the old UG filters we wanted to do...
Dave you can buy those sponges that go over the intake of a powerhead to filter the water, I don't know if that is what you have but it makes it easier to clean.
I don't use a reverse running powerhead. I pump the water into this green container which is an old filter container. The three tubes...
