    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My wife loves the thing and you can live in it. It has a small "wine" table that goes on the side. The soft colors change to get you all "Zened" up. And she can get in and out much easier because of MS she can't move her right leg. :biggrin: I just need to finish all the trim but that is...

    If I catch him I catch him. If not, he can stay in my tank but is a little larger than I like and he will probably get bigger. He is only 3 years old but I hope the aquarium will take him. He does't swim out in the open as much as the Scopas so it will be very difficult to catch him and I...

    Good Morning Diana. The Scopus tang is pictured a few posts up. He looks horrible and was 7 years old. The guy gave him to me 2 weeks ago. He told me he was a problem. He killed my beautiful coperband by pushing him into the rocks and wouldn't let him out. He also kept slashing him with...

    I caught that Scopus tang that I wanted to remove after he killed my Copperband. I used a method I devised many years ago. I just kept a large net in the tank right near the front glass and for a couple of days I fed the fish right into the net. After 2 days he was comfortable enough to go...

    My close friend for over 50 years and Viet Nam Buddy is being awarded today. They put him on an Air Force plane and flew him to Washington DC for a ceremony. I don't know any details because I found out through his wife but will post something when he returns. He was a Grunt in Nam and like me...

    Yes they do. When Greta was about 3 years old she told her Mother. "I need a good Lawyer to legally change my name to Olivia". When she was about two years old, my Daughter took her shoe shopping. My Daughter said to her, I really like these shows but they are to expensive and I don't have...

    My Grand Daughter, Greta's other Grand Mother (not my wife) wanted to buy a bathing suit because she is coming to the Caribbean with us and the family and hasn't wore a bathing suit for decades. She is kind of (and I don't know a PC word for this) so she is a "lot of Woman". Anyway she...

    I found out that scopas tang is 7 years old. The thing was in his sump and wasn't fed in 3 weeks because he ran out of food.

    Yes, he certainly has HLLE but it looks like he has had it for a number of years. It's not only his epidermis but the underlying tissues. This is a stark contrast to my pristine looking fish. I don't care about the disease, they are just mush to big for my tank which was already over stocked.

    Well I think this will be a test of my theory and my tank. My good "friend" is getting out of the hobby and he just came over with a bucket of fish and corals that I kind of had to take. He told me he had a "small" blue angelfish that I had to take with the corals because he didn't know what to...

    Good Morning. I had shoulder surgery in February which went great but recently I have been getting there terrible pains in my arm near the surgery. Of course the surgeon said it's not his surgery so he sent me to a pain management doctor. She stuck a needle in my arm about 13 times and each...

    I added silicate remover and tested the tank water. The reading went way down to almost not readable so hopefully the sponge that is taking over my tank will croak. I also tested my NSW and the reading is very high so I assume thats where my silicates came from. I have been using this stuff for...

    Yesterday I took out my wife's bathtub so I could do the plumbing and electric for the new walk in, handicapped, jacuzzi tub. I had to promise our Daughter that I would get a contractor for this because she figures I am to old and should just watch someone else put it in. I did try. I hired a...

    Good Mothers Day Morning. Yesterday in my town they arrested a bunch of Jibonies stealing catalytic converters from under cars. (they steal these things because they are filled with platinum coated pellets) They jack up a car and using a gas saw (a very loud gas saw) they cut the thing out...

    My Ruby Red dragonette is pregnant again. You really can't stop healthy fish from spawning. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: If I had the time and space I would raise these things and mandarins. Very easy fish as long as your tank is set up properly. :)

    I just got this cool bathtub for my wife. It has a door for her to get in and it is very deep. There is a seat in it and a shower. It also has a UV light I guess so you don't get any ick. It has heat, bubbles and Jacuzzi jets Now I just have to break out the old tub and install the thing. It's...

    I was looking through my Log book that I started in 1971. I won't publish the entire book because frankly I would probably be embarassed of some of the stupid things I did. :oops: At the beginning of my log book I started writing a book about the different fish and how to keep them. Remember at...
