All fish tanks were made like that in the early 60s. I had a bunch of them and they were not too cheap. The stainless steel ones are the new ones, before that the corners were black painted iron. My first salt tanks were that type and I had to paint the steel all the time but it did not help...

Yes it does, thats why I try to make good use out of my garbage cans. I still have canvases from two boats ago which was about 15 years ago.

Just like in the picture. The black thing is a piece of graphite from a large pencil and the needle is a needle. Connect one to positive and one to negative on a 24 VDC power supply and if the graphite bubbles, reverse the polarity. It's simple

Well the thing seems to be perfected. I replaced the carbon because it had copper in it so I used graphite from a carpenters pencil for the terminal that corrodes quickly. The chlorine emmitting electrode is still stainless steel but it is thinner now. The entire thing is small and compact with...

The electrode is emitting chlorine, big time. I found a cheap way to make Clorox. I tried it for a minute in a small volume of water and smelled it, it almost burned my nose off. This is the substance that is oxidizing the mojanos. I replaced one of the stainless stel electrides with carbon...

I keep telling that to my wife

It would work on an elephant if you could get close enough and get the thiong into the water. ;D AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH yes, but it's cleaner, cheaper and quieter than grenades and look at the fun I am having.

I have posted ways to eliminate mojanos before but this high tech way is the baes, and most fun. I use 24 volts DC which can't hurt you and I inject it into a mojano with this home made electrode. It uses stainless steel sewing needles in an acrylic tube sealed with a glue gun. I thought it was...

I have been taking it from a beach or my boat for almost 40 years, no problem yet. Maybe in 41 years there is a problem ???

How do you know when you have been at this for too long? When after you thought you threw everything out that you don't need, you have more than you started with. Here are a few of the thiongs I just can't part with. I did not include 10 gallons of rock, miles of tubing and three or four tanks.

Yeah, thats him ;D

79, Nick, I have amphipods older than you ;D

Nick I have three of those same powerheads all of which are still running trouble free. The tiny tube worms living throughout the thing don't help with it's operation an those things have a skeleton that is akin to broken glass, very abrasive and I am sure is what contributed to the wearing of...

This powerhead has been running non stop since the eightees when they invented them. It has only stopped a a few times when the power was out. Lately, if it stopped, I could not get it running again and I would have to take it apart and spin the impeller a few times to start it. I decided today...

Having been an electrician for 40 years I have a few, but it is a long ride from your house to Long Island

It seems that when many fish age, they hide. Of course they don't consider it hideing, they are just getting old and don't care to swim around and impress the Babes any more. He is content to hang out in the shadows with his main squeeze. Sort of like I like to do. ;D But I tend to stay in the...

I have not seen my watchman gobies for a few weeks so I figured they croaked. :'( I searched this morning behind the rocks in the tank with a flashlight and they are doing fine. The pair is still together, actually right on top of each other. I guess they found new friends and just don't want...
