Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Remember I only moved here a year and a half ago so for the move I threw out a tuck load. I built a lot of drawers and closets where I store stuff and have a huge garage with a ton of storage.
My garage is loaded with my mechanic and larger tools along with my larger woodworking tools. In...
I am diatoming my tank again. Do I have to? No, I just did it last week. I am starring at the detritus particles going into the intake. This is as exciting as watching paint dry which I did this morning when I painted a wall.....Again.
My fish have no idea why I am doing this again and the...
It's not a month yet, I will let you know. :confused:
I hear Florida is almost catching up to us so I hope you are staying safe, screw the fish.
I will run out of fish food in about a month so I hope my fish eat cake. :oops:
If I run out, I will find out what fried copperband tastes like...
Yes Bobby, But they hate you. :eek2:
If you put a real rock in there, which one do you think they would rather hide in?
Put that 1 1/2" Tee in your reef and see what the fish do. Those fish don't know any better and are probably stupified from Prizapro. :oo:
I don't see any dragon...
If you really need to freshwater dip you need to make sure the temp and pH of the fresh water is the same and if the fish sinks to the bottom, or tries to jump out it needs to be removed fast. Fresh water kills flukes but it also kills tangs, just slower.
It broke my heart but I had to fresh...
Since I have a lot more time now, like everyone else, I scraped the back of my tank clean. I was never able to see anything back there but Now I see there is a huge systems of interconnecting caves where many of the fish and crustaceans that I rarely see, hang out.
Now I spend more time in the...
All seems good and everything looks great today and on an added note, I think my Rainsford gobies are starting to spawn.
They normally stay on different ends of the tank, but looking through the back glass they appeared to be doing the Macarana. But it could have been the Hustle or Tango...
Last night I wanted to clean the front glass of my tank because if I don't clean it in 3 days, it looks like sheet metal so I clean it every day.
I lifted the front panel and stuck the glass cleaning magnet inside.
The tank overflowed a little. I figured maybe I dropped it in to fast and it...
Once We were in Sicily looking for my Grand Father's house. He came here in about 1902. So we hired this guide. She was about 18 and looked like Gina Lollobrigida with the boots, leather vest, hair, ear rings, all sorts of make up, a cigarette and her cell phone taped to her head.
The kid was...
This Morning we got "take out" from a diner and went to a local beach and drove almost up to the crashing waves.
Then I took out my DIY hand sanitizer and cleaned my hands and steering wheel, radio, turn signal etc and opened the breakfast cartons and coffee.
We had a nice breakfast and found a...
This is a shot through the back of my tank after I scrapped it clean. It's a mass of sponges.
I also got two of these guys there, very hard to photograph.
Jimmy's wife was beautiful and blind from birth. They met at a school for the blind. Her hobby was collecting Lladro figurines.
Like Really. She has never seen them but when she picked one up, she could tell you everything about it and she had maybe 20 of them.
They owned their own home and...
I learned a lot from my friend Jimmy. Jimmy was about 15 years older than me and had been totally blind from a child.
He couldn't even see light and I used to go to work with him in Manhattan every day on the Railroad.
He easily could have stayed home with his totally blind wife but he chose...
