    Paulie, that would still my advice, but I may add to have a glass of Pino Noir. :cool:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I found my Log book. It seems that in 1982 I got a computer. An Apple 2C. But that didn't go on line. (I don't think there was an internet to go on then but I don't remember. The thing only typed so it was an expensive typewriter. It would also make Christmas cards, banners etc. I kept...

    white worms

    I take the whole clam and slice it into paper thin slices. I don't put the whole clam in the tank because the fish couldn't eat it before it rotted. Unless you have big fish and small clams. The clams I use are as big as my fist. :D

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I also posted this on another forum because someone asked me if my method would work in a small tank of 29 gallons. Dkmoo, my tank was started in a 40 gallon tank. I started it with ocean water from the East River near Manhattan because thats what I had and I couldn't get ASW. I also used...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Someone on another forum (yes, there are other forums) asked me if my theory of no quarantining and medication would work in a brand new tank. I put this here on my thread because I know no one comes here so no one will argue with me. :biggrin: I posted this: You are correct, it will not...

    white worms

    Be careful because worms can dig through the glass of a bottle. Thats how the worm gets into the bottles of Tequila. :biggrin:

    white worms

    I am not buying any fridge. My worms have to live with me, I don't have to live with them. They live by my rules. :cool:

    The danger of NSW.

    If anyone disagrees with this, send me a SASE. I will steam off the stamp and use the envelope to store worm food. I am old and have PTSD, don't bother me. :oops:

    The danger of NSW.

    Yes all fish in the sea have ich. OK, maybe 0.0237% don't have it, but they my have some kind of social disease instead. I am going to have to get into this again but it would be much easier if you read it when I posted it 73 times. Ich is a natural part of the sea. Ich has been there longer...

    The danger of NSW.

    Almost. But my socks are 47 this week. :cool: Just to prove we are not arguing to the rest of these arguing people, lets dump out our tanks and fill them with damp sawdust. We can dampen it with a little ASW and NSW. We may have to add a little prizapro to eliminate the ants. :oo: Maybe...

    The danger of NSW.

    Amado, first of all. Good Morning. :) My post was not to argue or disagree with you. Many people, probably the majority of reefers use ASW. They have to as most of them don't live near the sea. I came on this thread because the tital says "The Dangers of NSW". I think I have the oldest...

    The danger of NSW.

    Actually they do. Many of them but not many species. Even off Orchard beach in the Bronx which isn't exactly Tahiti (where I also dove quite a lot) There is a type of soft coral that grows. It has tiny polyps and is not very attractive. It won't live in a tank for any amount of time as I...

    The danger of NSW.

    Why don't you just ask me on my thread? Contrary to popular opinion I don't get all these posts through osmosis. I occasionally pass through and my ears tickle when my name is mentioned. What a silly thread. We should be asking, "Why would we use ASW from a box". Where do we think our fish...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today I took our Christmas tree down. For many years I would remove the ornaments and lights then carry the thing outside and spend the next few weeks picking up needles. About 10 years ago I started doing it this way. I put a fifty gallon garbage can on a dolly and roll it next to the tree. Put...
