    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    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...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    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...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    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...

    Copperbands

    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...

    My most enjoyable moment was when I went to a LFS out east on Long Island and Christie Brinkley got out of the Corvette next to me.

    I meant "you" shouldn't eat flake food. Oh, then that gives a whole new meaning to flake food. Never heard of them. But I don't use flakes except sometimes maybe corn flakes. but I feed those to my worms and they seem happy. I am not a fan of flake food, even "Almost Natural Fish Food" as...

    I keep them in this DIY worm keeper but basically they like moving, shallow water and they don't like to go through powerheads.

    I took this in Tahiti, these long nose butterflies are a close cousin A healthy copperband This one is damaged. See the slight darker spot in the white band to the left and below the dark spot? It doesn't look like anything but in a skinny fish like a copperband, that is caused by...

    Copperbands

    Copperbands, one of my favorite fish and a fish that was one of the first fish available in the late 70s. In those days they were hard to keep but now they are fairly easy as I have had quite a few of them. I can't get them to live 10 or 15 years like most fish but 6 or 7 is closer. My tank is...

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    Ok, are you ready? Here goes. Doh....Photobucket is down for maintenance. Make believe there is a picture of me here with a frown on my face. I can't try the picture yet and it was going to be me standing with 2 Supermodels collecting pods on Malibu Beach.
