    OMG, I just found a Fish in my Tank I have not seen in over a Year

    I am not sure of the time frame but about 2 or 3 years ago I bought a pair of Gecko Gobies...

    Copperband with neurological or vision problem

    Eholceker, thank you, but No matter what it is, he misses it even if it is stuck to the glass.I put clams and worms all over the place. He sees off to the side so he won't and cant eat it. I don't use Masstick because although that is probably a great food, I rather go with a natural food like...

    Copperband with neurological or vision problem

    It's not that he doesn't want to eat and live worms are his favorite food. He can't eat because his eyes are focusing a little off so he tries to bite the food but he always misses. As you know a copperband is not the type of fish that you can just pick up and force feed like you could with a...

    Copperband with neurological or vision problem

    Copperband is still with me even though she has not eaten in almost two months. Healthy, non drugged fish can live a very long time. The lack of food is showing in her fins and scales as she doesn't have that velvety smooth skin and perfect fins that a healthy fish should have. Her eyes are...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My first post on some forums was in 2011: I was on other forums, when they invented forums. In 14 months my reef will be 50 years old. I wonder if in another 10 years I will still be on here saying it is 60 years old. :cool: Probably not, as I am already a Geezer and in 10 years I will be a...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Some kind of black, 2" long thing that I never seen before. I think he said it was an anthius but doesn't look like one. If it comes out from wherever he is, I will try and get a picture. I also got a citron goby, a Queen Anthius and I totally forgot what the other thing is. Let me lookfor it...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I just came back from my knee Doctor. Kevorkian. My knee surgery is postponed for at least 6 months so now we can go to a Valentines party. That is not the reason we cancelled it though. It seems that even though the last surgery didn't work, a new one may make it worse due to neuroma. I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    One of my 30 year old powerheads croaked last night so my skimmer and algae scrubber was dry. No water was going into the reverse UG filter either. I took the thing apart and repaired it with some shrink tubing which is the repair they need every 30 years. :cool: I think this was made in...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Mark, I never bought livestock online as I was always surrounded by LFSs and they had a selection. I also used to be able to tell them to get me something. Now, years later, I moved and am no longer near those places and the one I am near, there are all new people and don't know anything or...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today I took my wife for her MRI and on the way home I always stop at an LFS near there. The place is really going down hill and they never have anything anymore. I go in there with a pocket full of money and can't buy anything because they have the same old common stuff. :( I ended up with...

    Steam Punk Lamp

    Christine, Thank you. 14 pieces sold in Uptown Manhattan on 74th street in a Gallery called "An American Craftsman". He moved and I don't want to send stuff there so now the rest of them, 6 so far are in a gallery on the North Fork of Long Island NY. I don't want her to sell them yet as I want...

    How it used to be, for us and the fish

    I probably found them somewhere. It's not like there was a store. Amado. I never dipped anything and never had any problem pests.

    How it used to be, for us and the fish

    Equalizer, I got the camera, a Polaroid from a PX bird which was a helicopter that every month or so would bring writing paper, pencils and stuff like that. I think it was $6.00. We couldn't get film developed of course so that was it and film was expensive and very hard to come by unless my...

    How it used to be, for us and the fish

    I realize many peoplr have pest problems but in all these years and no dipping, quarantining, medication I never got any pests that actually harmed anything and they all, without exception left on their own with no help from me. Bubble algae, flat worms, cyano, crabs, eels, nudibranchs...

    How it used to be, for us and the fish

    Equalizer, not all my pictures from Nam depict that. Here is a "Friend" I acquired there. He walked out of the jungle and stayed with me for a week or so eating rats. This was a LOH and my Captain friend used to deliver us mail and orders on it. He taught me how to fly (with him) and we...

    How it used to be, for us and the fish

    Yes we do, we get bacteria from everything, but I feel if we fill a tank at the start with live rock from the sea, it will have a better start than starting with dead rock and waiting to get bacteria piece meal from frags and hermit crabs. Of course it will work either way,

    How it used to be, for us and the fish

    If were doing Army pictures, I have some. These are from Nam. I built this 30 round magazine for my M-16. If it were not for that, I probably wouldn't be here now. This was not for training. We fired 6 of these at a time almost constantly. This is from the battle I was in. That guy...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It's over 60 degrees here and I almost went swimming as I just came back from collecting water which is 40 degrees. I am diatom filtering it now because it is full f seaweed. It was very windy and the pump didn't want to stay underwater in the surf so it kept coming back on to the beach. I...
