The only thing I dump is old salt water and not very much of that. I don't dose anything except calcium and baking soda, I use no reactors or controllers, I never need to use any medications because my fish are immune, the only food is from the sea, nothing dry, processed or freeze dried. I...

A couple of fish, but I caught them and gave them away. One I remember was a dragon wrasse which re landscaped too much. Creektree Thanks. :D

Here is a log book page from 1976. Notice the assortment I had in, at that time a 40 gallon tank

I buy them. I now mostly go to Aquarium Village in Westbury NY

Here is the time lapse. It started like this in smaller glass in 1971. I transferred everything in it into a 100 gallon tank in about 1979 or 80. I was building my basement around it here. You can see the white bleached coral skeletons we used in those days for decoration The tank went...

Picture is from last year but it looks almost the same except the gorgonians are larger and the few SPS are bigger. Not the nicest tank on here, but it is what it is. This picture was maybe 3 years ago.

I was just jerking around with my water cooled LED lighting system and noticed that my empty reactor is still filled with baby shrimp. They grew a little and I am surprised they are still in there because the water goes into the bottom and out through the top so if they are day dreaming, they...

Why you need a feeder for certain types of fish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsGrL9nxJPs

I would never leave one of my friends in a predicament like that and my friends know that which is why they know they can call me at any hour for any problem. That's why I have friends from grammar school and I would do anything for them. Another friend called me once when her husband was...

Some of them were twins of the lobster, especially the ones with the antlers. Now I am going back there to help him lift the rug to throw out and build new shelves to put the supermarket that he has stored there.

Tonight we are having dinner guests. Two of out very close friends, my wife went to high school together and I used to drive the both of them home from school. Anyway 2 hours ago he called screaming that he has a flood, water all over his house and he can't use any water because it all comes out...

I think Disney does it all wrong and I have a plan to eliminate all the lines and problems. When you get to Disney, you first go to the monorail then go to the theme park you want to wait in line for. Then you go to Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pans ride, It's a Small World then wait to get...

Every year! I go every 30 years so the next time I will be about 125 years old.

We had a great time but I will plan better next time. I plan on not having to go again. :grin:

We got back from Disneyworld last night and today as I was feeding the tank I noticed something moving in my old bio pellet reactor. I built and installed this silly thing a few years ago as an experiment and figured it was a stupid idea because the pellets made the tank run so much worse so I...

This week we went to Disney World with our two Grand Kids, Daughter and Son N Law. They actually took us. We haven't gone to Disney in about 30 years when we took our Daughter a few times. A lot is changed as now they added more princesses, Buzz Lightyear, some Johnny Depp stuff in Pirates of...

This one I need an opinion on before I finish it. It is solid brass and I still have to put a switch in it. I was thinking of adding another bulb, like the last blow torch light on a brass pipe coming out of the base but on top. It would also have a dual function switch like the last one. Or...

It's a cheap leak detector. You can buy one for a lot more money but a GFCI is probably more reliable as it was built to save people's lives and is held to a higher criterie than a fish tank alarm would be

The bare wires are encased in a small plastic container with holes in it. The hot wire is in series with a 7 watt bulb, the other wire is a ground. It also works (usually) by using the neutral and ground, but not always. You won't get lit as that is what the GFCI is for, but if you are...

Thanks, everything is fine and I am still married. I just baked corn muffins for her. :cool: Some day I will tell her about the tank :D
