    They spawned right after I took this. I didn't download that video yet. This is the first time they spawned in a place where I could film it.

    Fireclowns preparing to spawn. The larger one is in his 20s and the smaller one is about 17. These two have been spawning since they were babies..

    I am in a picture mood. The pipe in the back is very pregnant.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My good friend gave me this 330 watt LED light because most of it didn't work. I fixed it but they really don't want you to fix these things. First of all there are over 325 tiny screws holding the LED board to the heat sink. Those alone is a real pain to remove. Then you pry the thing apart...

    I have never de wormed anything and so far have not had any problems with worms.

    Sounds good. Remember the bacteria in their food. To keep them immune their immune system needs bacteria all the time so their immune system keeps functioning. Good luck. As for RC. Someone there mentioned my book. It was immediately deleted. Paul

    Today I went to an Orthopedic surgeon for a knee pain. I already had 4 or 5 knee surgeries and 3 or 4 shoulder surgeries, but if you worked construction for 40 years and didn't wear out your joints, you were doing it wrong, weren't working hard enough or you are a Sissy or Girly Man. Joint...

    CRASH!!!!

    Horseplay, well the very pretty girl in the other car was kind of a Supermodel, but she was very pregnant so I called her pretty instead of Supermodel because that is a better term for a Mother to be

    CRASH!!!!

    No, Not my tank. Don't be ridiculous I have a Undergravel filter, that can't crash. My "car" was in a crash. I was stopped for a light having a philosophical conversation with my wife about the universe, the meaning of life, or what we were having for dinner when all of a sudden: CRASH...

    A discussion on Immunity

    A little more on immunity if anyone is interested. This stuff fascinates me almost as much as Supermodels. A fishes epidermis consists of, besides other things, various types of unicellular glands some of which are goblet or mucous (slime) glands. These glands secrete slime. (other parts of...

    What is everyone doing for the reef tank today?

    Sitting in front of it with a glass of Merlot. :cool:

    I took my algae scrubber apart so I could smear cement mortar on the screen. I found out years ago that algae loves mortar. When it cures in a few days, I will put it back in and build the LED fixture to illuminate it.

    I made the black top shield to prevent water shooting out the sides. I still need to protect the ends so that doesn't happen.

    Not sure it will survive - Chevron Tang

    Yeah, that happens. A Massive Poop is usually the cure for a lot of things. :confused:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Thanks. This is just another experiment because I already grow algae in that trough on the left side of the picture. That trough also disapates any residual Ozone from the skimmer and acts as a refugium so I need to leave it there. I experimented with it last year and draped a piece of rag...

    I finished the experimental algae scrubber and installed it. The window screen on the bottom is temporary just to make sure there are no splashes. Remember, I have no sump so this is over the tank. This contraption also feeds my reverse UG filter which you can see in the clear plastic...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today I am rebuilding a new algae scrubber that will be vertical which will feed the reverse UG filter. That is the plan anyway. I will not remove the horizontal algae trough because that also acts as a refugium and it loaded with amphipods that I collect in the summer. It is completed except...

    First off, Thank you Mark.C for that liquid phytoplankton you sent me. I have been using it and although my corals normally look good, now some of them are smiling from ear, I mean, tentacle to tentacle. I will continue to use it. Getting back to immunity, I am not sure if I mentioned this...

    I devised this method of keeping squirrels out. I bought gutter guard and sliced them in thirds. Then screwed them in. You can see it here and to the right with the cover on. It took be like 4 hours but it is worth it to see the expression on their little faces when they can't get in.
