I buy it live, slightly open it and throw it in the freezer next to me calamari that I made for dinner. There is no prep, it's a clam. Of course I do have to slice it up in sizes that the fish can eat as copperbands are not the Tyrannosaurus's of the sea. I am not certain on the age of my...

I do try to feed him like that. But he backs up and still misses. He tries hard though :confused:

This (about) 10 year old copperband normally will eat all the clams you give him. But for the last few months he misses the food 9 out of 10 times. In this video he gets one piece but misses all others. He aims short almost every time. I am sure it is neurological and can't be fixed. Fish...

I could go for that. :)

I need help trimming some sponge. The stuff is growing to close to the glass and I am having trouble getting the magnet cleaner in there. I trim the stuff all the time but I let it go to long and it is covering many corals. My arms aren't long enough and since I got a "little" older, my...

I noticed on my 4 newer pieces of SPS acropora that I had originally thought were dying are growing faster than they should be. I think it's from the clam juice I have been adding by feeding clams. I also have not been rinsing the clams because I have so much sponge growing that there is no...

Diana, at my age, getting up is exciting. :biggrin:

It seems my Steam Punk pieces are worth more than I thought. I brought them to a gallery here on the North Fork and she wouldn't let me take them home. They are on display for more than I was expecting. :p

These Fireclowns just won't give up. They just spawned again as they do every week, it looks like they only laid a dozen eggs this time. That large male is I think 28 years old. I devised a thing to collect the eggs but I won't use it as I don't have the time to raise them anyway. Maybe...

I am at the point now where my fish never die from the "normal" things like ich, velvet, worms, dropsy or stupididy. But some things are not normal fish diseases like not all diseases on humans are on the skin like spots, fungus, bacteria etc. I know this fish is not dying of old age as I...

My Copperband has a problem, she sees fine and can probably see better than me, but her depth perception is off by a few millimeters. She sees the food but snaps at it just short and misses. Then she looks at the food in bewilderment because she can't understand why she can't bite it. Now I...

Just finished my "Money Machine" Not really Steam Punk so I am not sure what it is.

Almost finished "electronic Steam Punk"

I used to buy them by the hundreds for a seahorse feeder I invented and patented. "Brine Shrimp Direct" used to sell them for me, then I got tired of making them. :cool:

It is a couple of film containers pushed into an acrylic tube with a funnel thing stuck in one end. The funnel is from a florist. They put carnations in them and fill them with water. They will probably give you some. Just drill the thin part through so the worms can get in. Any container...

You can see it in the video.

A couple of hours with a 5 minute Bristleworm trap. I have nothing against bristleworms unless they start to get to big and numerous. These guys would come out in the daytime and make fun of me so I threw some clam in this thing made from junk I had laying on my workbench. I would have caught...

I just cleaned my pumps and venturi valve in my skimmer. It's amazing the amount of stuff that grows on things in a salt tank. Everything is clogged with those hard tube worms, brittle stars and bristleworms, especially the intakes for the powerheads and I really hate those Korilia type pumps...

WE went to dinner tonight at a place that gives Veterans half price dinners. It was really nice and just as our check came this little girl about 9 years old comes to our table and hands me this card she just made that said: Thank you so much for keeping us safe, Happy Veterans Day. I cried.
