Good Morning. Nothing special happened on my hour long, very dark walk this morning so I didn't take any pictures. I will use a picture from a week ago because that light pole looks exactly the same today. :cool2:
That last overhaul was just a new powerhead that fit pretty good. But it was a long time ago and I forgot what I did. I dropped it a few times because the base broke and it doesn't stand up on it's own so I run it in a bucket.
I designed a completely new model that I can build in an hour. I...
My last working Diatom Filter is croaking. I couldn't be in this hobby without a diatom filter because I run a reverse undergravel filter and it needs by yearly stirring up. I also like to blow detritus out of my 50 year old rocks. Yes, I could use a canister filter as I have 2 Eheim filters...
Lets remember that December 7th 1941, 81 years ago today the US was attacked on Pearl Harbor by Japan getting us involved in WW2.
2,335 Americans were killed.
It was also 30 years ago when a gunman on the Long Island Railroad massacred 6 people and wounded 19 on the train. That train was the...
I went to my favorite LFS yesterday to show him a picture of this Pygmy Filefish I want.
I hope he can get it. He is also getting some of these Red Waspfish. I already have two of them but they are so cool, that I can use another one.
Heck, I may fill my tank with them. :D
I have no idea but I seriously doubt it. :)
I bet it is $85.00. I will get it for a third of that,,,If I can get it. :cool:
My guy gets them right from the collector so he cuts out a lot of middlemen.
OK, I found a fish I want. The guy wants $85.00 for it and calls it a Pygmy, spotted filefish. That store is very expensive. Next week I will go to my favorite LFS and hopefully he can get it for me. He will probably charge me about $30 for it.
Next week we decided to have a Christmas Party for some of our friends here. They are so good to us and everyone here helps each other.
We figured we would invite about 26 people thinking half would have other plans. Nope!, so far they are all coming. WE will have it catered and hired a girl to...
I don't miss the days when I removed most of my rock to eliminate the sponge. Much of it I put outside in the freezing temperature and it killed it. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Then of course I was inundated with dino"s and now algae. The good news is that it is dying and turning white...
I feel much better so far but she said it would take about 6 weeks to see if it works. Right now I think I am still filled with the temporary Lanacaine pain killer so I will see tomorrow but so far, so good as I could barely stand, sit or walk.
She burned both sides of 4 disks so she made 8...
I had to go into the hospital today for a spine ablation where they burn nerves around your disks in your back using radio frequency.
On my way home (my wife had to drive) one of my neighbors called to say they ordered dinner for us and it will be delivered.
Then another neighbor is bringing us...
I just went to my favorite LFS because one of my wife's doctors is near there. He had a lot of fish but nothing I wanted so I just got another Hectors gobi. I have a bunch of them but for 8 bucks I felt I had to buy something.
I wanted more of these because they are so cool, but he didn't...
It's a beautiful, foggy morning. As I walk I can just barely make out a large deer walking across the street. She didn't notice me at first.
I kept walking and now the fog is getting thicker. She sees me but doesn't move. She probably doesn't know that I have excellent vision. I have...
