    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My wife and I just got back from donating a couple of dozen bagels to the local hospital. We have great bagels here in NY and dozens of varieties. The hospital put out an E Mail to the local residents that their staff of about 100 are working around the clock and can't go home because they are...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I built some cool stuff in Nam but I had little to work with as I never came out of the jungle. On this LZ I built this veranda out of bamboo that I cut down all around us and tied it together with commo wire. I got the tarp from the air force but I don't remember how or if I stole it or...

    Mark I don't think I ever saw the movie "The Guardian" but I just saw snippets of it along with the scene with the helicopter. I can relate to that because I crashed twice in helicopters but not in a Huey or the Coast Guard helicopter like in the movie. This one we crashed right after taking...

    Paulie that was the First Cav which I was in. A lot of people have no idea how that war was fought except from movies which are not really correct. On another note, Now we live out east on Long Island and it is not very populated out here. No one is worried about Lyme Disease any more from...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I am very happy with my tank now. I have quite a lot of the fish I prefer to keep which are all smaller, odder and a little more difficult to get like the Janss Pipefish. I am going to try to list the fish but I am not near the tank. Copperband Hippo Tang 2 Rainsford Gobies 2 Possum Wrasses 2...

    I went out just now on a foray for fish food. I was looking for LRS food in case they quarantine fish stores. The first one I went to closest to my home, about 15 miles away is a huge place but not any good for fish. They had a figure 8 puffer, a scat, an anemic looking shrimp and a few algae...

    I finally got my replacement copperband. I had to bring my wife for a procedure and she isn't taking it to well so I had to run in and run out of the LFS. He had 2 copperbands but one was a little larger than a quarter and one was about 2 1/2" I was going to take both of them, but I opted for...

    My tank is doing great but I have about 2,372 aiptasia. I guess my copperband was eating them, who knew? I have been tying to get a new copperband and they are normally very common but for the last couple of weeks I have not been able to get one. 3 LFSs promised me last week that they will...

    Nothing in my tank is possible. I have been hearing that for decades from all the people who are out of the hobby and are working at Burger King working the Frying machine.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Thats the way to do it if you want nice healthy fish living in a nice healthy tank for 50 years. :biggrin: I can never get even most of the fish out at the same time and many of them just never come out. The Gecko gobies I have never seen an entire fish so I may have 1 or 2, I can't tell...
