OMG, my brand new yellow clown gobi is covered in parasites. :confused: I have to turn in my Aquarist card. :eek: I think I should have dipped him in stump remover, then spray painted him with prizapro while electroplating him with copper. I am so scared and don't know what to do. :(...

Yesterday I went to Home Depot with my friend and as we drove there I had to suddenly stop the car. There was a cow in the middle of the street. A big cow. Now me living most of my life closer to New York City the only cows I saw were in a bun covered in pickles and onions with a side of fries...

If I had the time and ambition I would go and check out my tank now in the dark because it looked like my bluestripe pipefish should have given birth last night as he was really pregnant. They spawn all the time but I never caught sight of the fry which are born alive and must be about as big...

So I was looking in my tank and noticed all these tiny red things in the back at the bottom in the dark. I figured they were the fry of something and got a little excited. Then I remembered I only have a few paired fish and except for the fireclowns, none of them are red and clown fry don't...

I just took a video. The mandarin is only in the beginning for a few seconds and you can't see the bluestripe pipefish as they are giving birth and stay hidden when they do that. You also can't see the possum wrasse and two Gecko gobies that never come out. But they are there as well as a...

I put my boat away yesterday which mad me a little sad but it is getting cold and windy here. My marina didn't have room so I drove it to another marina a few miles away. The water was very calm but it did rain a little. I winterized it and won't see it until the spring. I looked for but...

It's been about 4 months and it's time for an update. I think this tank move was a success and it was the second tank move for this tank and it is the third glass it is in. It started in 1971 in a 40 gallon tank, then in about 1979 I moved from our tiny apartment and upgraded and moved...

Last night this guy jumped out. Oh well, I guess he wanted to expand his horizons.

Today I will run my diatom filter on the tank while I work on other projects. Some algae came back in the tank and my algae scrubber has an algae growth an inch thick. That is probably because for a month or two I didn't rinse the frozen food, but I will start doing that again. I wanted to...

Today I went to my first orientation at the Long Island Aquarium. I will volunteer there for the winter and you have to go to a 6 hour class to make sure you know how to talk to people and not be a Perv. The first part was the touch tank where they explained to us what a hermit crab, starfish...

Thats exactly where we are going, a nice place by the sea. :D

Thank you, and thank you again. :D

Today is our 45th wedding anniversary. :D

Floor is finished and it is dry

I may coat the knee with Epoxy to see if that holds it together until they replace it. :eek:

It took 20 minutes. The stuff starts to get sticky after that so you have to finish in 20 minutes. That is just the black prime coat. The finish will be blue metallic with copper dust swirled in. That is my garage. My fish room is the same size but it is behind that door. You can barely...

I finished the primer coat for the Metallic Blue Epoxy finish coat which may happen tomorrow . FedEx can't find my delivery of the blue powder or metallic powder.

I think most fish can live without being in a pair but some like Moorish Idols and seahorses pair up in the sea so I am not sure if they get lonely :rolleyes: I do use LRS food every day but I supplement it with live and fresh for the live bacteria even though Larry, who owns the business tells...

My very cool vacuum enhancing invention. All the dirt goes into the five gallon bucket and just about nothing goes to the filter on the vacuum itself. You just spin off the lid on the bucket and it lifts right up so you can dump it out. I use it on my radial arm saw to collect sawdust. I just...

Here is a little photo story of the life of a pair of my gobies. Here was my watchman gobi as a baby I paired her up as a baby and here they are as adolescents a few years old. Here they are as an old, out of shape married couple. Here she is with one of her many broods of...
