Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
It took a couple of years but I got to say, my tank doesn't look too bad now. It went through a couple of years of everything being covered with invasive sponge which killed all my gorgonians and lots of corals. Then a year or two of Dino's, which killed more corals, then very long hair algae...
I noticed that this guy has a few spots on it's tail. I find that to be a good thing as it means I still have some living parasites swimming around in there keeping my fish immune. :D
I added two fish yesterday but I can't find this guy. He ate right away but must be realizing he is in a...
When I went into my Man cave to put the worms away it was dark and my tank light wasn't on yet. I noticed one of my Pigmy Waspfish on top of a rock looking bored but I know he was hunting as they are nocturnal and want to eat at night, sort of like one of my old girlfriends who may have been a...
It rained last night so on my morning walk I took my worm collection stuff. I guess it didn't rain hard enough because I only got 2 worms.
The streets were drying up so the worms made it back to the dirt before I got there but there were dozens of huge nightcrawlers all over the street.
I...
I brought that Watchman back to the store and picked up 2 fish. A 6 Line and some kind of sand sifter that I have not seen before. I took the pictures through the back of the tank so they are not clear.
The LFS tanks had a lot of ich in them so I may see a couple of spots in a few days.
This Watchman got a little to big for my liking. About 5", and I think he ate a bunch of small fish, namely all my yellow clown gobies.
There is no way to catch anything in my tank with a trap or net, so I made a tiny hook out of a needle. Baited it with a clam and went fishing.
I tried...
Good Morning. Someone went through a lot of work to remove hundreds of rocks so they can get into the water on this rocky beach. At low tide the cut goes out about 75'
Today I got a little bored so I wanted to do a little tank maintenance. For some reason my rock migrates closer to the front of the tank and being I built most of my rock, it is in big pieces so to move one, I have to remove a lot of smaller rocks.
I needed to move the entire reef structure on...
I am a Licensed boat Captain but I had to look very hard to see if any of these boaters did anything wrong. Look closely and see if you can find any mistakes.
We are having company this week. Friends that we have had over 50 years and their Daughter and mine grew up together from Kindergarten through college. Anyway. They were born in Italy and are fantastic cooks. He even owned a restaurant for a number of years so I can't just throw something...
It rained last night so I figured I would go worm hunting on my morning walk.
I walked and walked and found 3 worms. Just 3. Not a very accomplished hunt.
I walked 5,000 steps, sucked up $14.00 worth of oxygen and burned up 400 calories and have almost nothing to show for it.
I did find a...
Normally I walk on the beach in the summer but this morning I took a much longer walk on a country road. It was a little overcase and nothing exciting happened. I saw a few deer but I usually do.
That guy is all over the tank and a big eater of clams and frozen mysis :biggrin:
I think he will do just fine.
Thats normally how fish act if you don't stress them to death with all those stupid methods many people use.
Most fish are not difficult. It's the quarantine and medication that people use that gives the fish the horrors. My fish go right in and think they are in the ocean free as a bird. They don't hide and eat that same day....Usually. :)
