This morning I went down to the beach armed with a bucket because it was low tide. The tides here rise about 8' so the water goes way out at low tide and it exposes the rocks that line the bottom of the Sound.
There weren't thousands of amphipods like there will be in a couple of weeks but I...
I am so "Lucky" that I was able to put about 10 fish in my tank in the last few months all from a filthy store where many of the fish exhibited ich and all kinds of other things and yet, I haven't lost anything to disease.
Now I probably have 45 healthy fish none of which were medicated...
Thanks Guys. But I am used to it. I tore my rotator cuff I think 7 times so far and the day isn't over yet. If you reach my age and didn't break a bunch of bones and tear most of your other parts, you didn't do enough in your life. :p
The surgeries are fun but the aftermath is a pain...
My Ruby Red is still very pregnant and the male is a dope. I am not sure she will expel the eggs. The dragon wrasse i can't find. But many times I can't find a fish for a month. I have had them before and I know what you mean. I forgot how much of a pain they are so I won't feel bad if I...
They keep saying we need more rain. Exactly how much do we need?
I can barely get through the puddles now.
There is a large pond across the street from me and it has many bullfrogs in it. There is so much water in it now that the frogs get the bends when they go to the bottom and back.
I have to run a diatom filter on my tank almost every day to remove dying algae that keeps growing after my sponge removal.
I think I tore my rotator cuff (for the 8th time) so it is very difficult to get my left arm over the tank so I spill water all over the place.
Old diatom filters are not...
In the last few months since I gave away two larger fish I added quite a few smaller, more interesting fish. Of course I threw them right in so maybe ich, uronema, velvet and diphtheria will soon rear it's ugly head.
I added some of these. 2 or 3
Maybe 3 of these.
This totally very cool...
So last night this Jiboni comes down the hill across from my house and flies over a speed bump. The speed limit in the complex is 10 mph but of course most go about 20, but not 60.
He drove on the wrong side of the road and took out about 60' of brand new railings.
Then went a hundred yards...
She has a mate but I think he's not interested. If she doesn't mate soon, she will die because they almost always get egg bound. They can't seem to release the eggs on their own. If I could catch her, which ain't gonna happen I would do a cesarian and help her out a bit. I am not sure if...
I am still sucking out algae with my diatom filter every other day. The stuff grows long and fills up with bubbles. Unsightly but very healthy. Eventually it will stop and the tank will once again be pristine.
The corals are all extending and so far, I don't see any sponge, which was the...
