Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

[Paul B]

i am so lucky to have such good friends and neighbors. my two refrigerators are full of casserole dishes and all sorts of food. i guess they dont want me to starve.
i cant drive yet and my wife cant drive so we are kind of stuck. our friends next door are taking us out to breakfast in a few minute.

i help as much as i can to get my wife dressed then she helps me because i still cant move my right arm. but its coming along

What wonderful friends! You are very blessed. Enjoy breakfast.

the tank looks very healthy. all the fish are active and happy looking. i have been feeding my whteworms yogurt and they doubled in numbers so i can give more of them to my fish. i have a lot of large pieces of codium seaweed floating around beause i need 2 hands to secure it.

i also have large strands of nusience algae growing mostly in the back.. i normally suck that out with my diy canister filter.



my neighbor came over to help with that and it has been runnng for a few hours so the tank is crystal clear and soon he will remove it to clean.

i may build another one of those and give it away just to get an opinion on its use. i dont think i will go into business or anything but if i do, i will advertise on here. or maybe i will just give them away.

Hi Paul, is that filtration system your showing in the previous post going to replace your Diatom filter? With Diatom no longer in business, we can moght be able to use something like this for mucking out the tank from time to time. Those pleated cartridges are a bit easier to deal with compared to diatom powder.

Glad to hear the shoulder thing went well.
