    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I know. As a matter of fact, I strongly told my surgeon I only wanted an American joint. And if it is not, don't tell me because I will never like that shoulder and won't look at it. :confused:

    I think I am using up all the titanium in the hospitals here. :oops: I try not to use that arm, because I am not supposed to. But my wife isn't doing to well and things need to be done so I do what I can.

    I have been a little busy changing 50 gallons of water. I collected it and filtered it and now I am heating it. I fill 5 gallon thin plastic jugs with hot water and float them in my vats. In 30 minutes they are all heated. I test the salinity and change it. :) All this using only one hand...

    Normally I throw a bilge pump in the sea. But it's much faster like this. Also when I do that I get way more seaweed and sand because the pump sits on the bottom. I still get a lot of seaweed as you can see on the beach, but it is easy to filter it out. It is dirty and brown no matter how I...

    I just collected 25 gallons of NSW. I will add 25 gallons of ASW and do a 50 gallon water change. I think I still have some sponge toxins in there because my corals are not opening all the way. This is my friend who helped me because he has 2 working arms and I don't right now.

    Jul 6, 2015 (Yes this was an old post. What can I say? I ran out of things to say) I don't have the nicest tank on here. I don't have the nicest of a lot of things, but I don't care because they are nice enough for me. I don't have the most difficult corals on here, but it is not my purpose to...

    I found this FTS of my tank from about 10 years ago. This is one of those "Pan" pictures where you move the camera across the tank and it puts the pictures together

    This is a Cobra Gunship. Not a lot of places to hang on.

    They finally awarded this Hero the Medal of Honor for what he did 55 years ago. These Cobra Gunships saved me quite a few times and they are awesome, I can't say enough about them. There is no almost place on them for a man to hold on to and I never saw them rescue men like that, but I think...

    Natural is always best. I realize on these forums (all of them) we try to do things for our fish that we feel are doing something better for them than if we left them in the sea...We are not. Natural is always best. As an example, if we bought a time machine and got a Neanderthal from...

    She has looked like this to long to be eggs. If she croaks I will check her out but she seems very healthy. Maybe she should call Jenny Craig. :confused2:

    Normally when dragonettes look like this, they are eggbound and in a couple of weeks they die. I am not sure whats up with this Lady as she looked like this for a couple of months. Eating normally and looks great, just morbidly obese. Unless she is sneaking out for ice cream sundaes every night...

    Yesterday I went to my shoulder surgeon. He cut off a lot of hardware on my sling so now it is just a normal sling. It used to look like one of the steam punk devices I built. He said my shoulder is coming along just fine. I asked him about this big black and blue I have in the middle of my...

    I have to go to my shoulder surgeon today and he is near my favorite LFS so I am bringing back my Sea Hare. I have no algae as it disappeared all of a sudden in 2 days. It was from my sponge eradication and lasted a few months. :D

    A couple of years I built this nitrate reactor just to give me something to do. I never figured the silly thing would work. I rarely even pay attention to it and it is all the way back where I can barely see it. Being I have this broken shoulder and can't do much I decided to test it. It...

    He still seems Fine but doesn't travel to much. As you know, it is very hard to take their blood pressure because they keep punching holes in the pressure cuff :rolleyes:
