I have some older pictures of him. This one is not to long ago, I think just 5 or so years. This one is probably the oldest one I have because this is before digital photography. All the older pictures would be on film and I would have to search through archives. This was during a...

either Sakrete Mortor mix of cement mix. The Mortor mix is easier to work with because it is stickier

I soak them in fresh water for a couple of weeks then throw them in my tank. Probably a third of my tank is now hollow, cement rocks. I would imagine the fact that they are hollow benefits in regard to bacterial growth but I can't swear to it. I just like the rocks I build better than what I...

You can make any shape you like, I cover the PVC with string like a bakery uses and smear cement on that. It usually takes about 4 or 5 coats as not much will stick the first time. This piece is cement with real rocks cemented together. It is almost 18" long and is the backbone of my reef...

I have been building hollow rocks for decades using Sakrete over PVC like this piece. They start out like this

My amphipods have canker sores older than you. Dance

Grilling is good, but he would probably be tough

In a few weeks this Fireclown will be 21 years old and I don't know weather to throw him a party of just get a cake. He will also be able to legally drink so I was thinking of dosing Vodka.

I want one.

I just love my dragon faced pipefish. Very cool creatures. Video

These guys have been in my tank for I think a year or so. I had the male first, then added the female and they immediately started dating. They are very cool and this is the fourth gobi they have paired with and they have been with him the longest. Every day I shoot some clam or worms into one...

I hope you found your problem but I don't think so and I feel you are looking to deep into this. If some of your corals are thriving I would discount carbon and just about all the other parameters. If you keep a tank long enough you will see these cycles. As I look back at pictures of my tank...

You are not the only one, I also don't test as long as the corals are growing, the fish are living 15 or 20 years and spawning. If you are a Noob or if you are having some sort of problem that is different. But after decades of this, you just know if you should test.

It is not hard to stump me, just ask me the name of something. I can't remember the names of anything. I have been married to "Whats her name" for 40 years and when we used to date and I used to call her, I hoped she didn't answer right away until I could get the piece of paper out of my...

Quote: Ha maybe I got you. Think again. When I am asked to speak to aquarium clubs, my topic is the History of the hobby. You didn't get me yet. But I am sure you will. Keeping ferns was as big as reefing is now, maybe bigger. And it was harder because the ladies had to tromp through medieval...

Being that I am a Geezer (like many of us) I hear all the time that Geezers are old school and don't change their ways or don't know about new technologies. I run a reverse UG filter and that is not old school as DSBs, SSBs and BBs are newer. Regular UG filters are definately old school and I...

I don't remember because they keep multiplying. I just goggled white worm culture and they sent me a started culture. They no longer eat Cheerios or Matzo's, but they love instant mashed potato flakes.. Go figure

I only give them to my Jewish worms.

I really don't know how people keep fish without live worms. If it were not for live worms I would not be in this hobby because I don't want to deal with all the problems like ich, fish dying and all of that. Worms keep my fish in breeding condition so I have no need for a quarantine or hospital...
