    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I can't believe at least 3 of those tiny baby fish that I collected a few days ago are still living and actually thriving. I put them in as food. They stay at the surface and eat tiny "stuff" just like a whale shark. OMG, I hope they are not whale sharks. Those things never even make it home...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So last night we took our Grand Daughter Greta to the beach behind out house to launch these hot air balloons. They are these 3' paper bags with a wax fire in them. We got on the beach with the Jeep as the sand is very deep and soft. The thing went fine going in. After we lit and flew the...

    I get in there with Lestoil and bleach all the time and touch up rusted spots. Those engines are 20 years old. :D

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have to change the exhaust manifolds on my boat and it is breaking my heart that I will not be able to do it myself. I really have never hired anyone for anything especially something like my car or boat but there comes a time when this stuff is just to heavy. I have changed them on my last...

    My Interesting Caribbean Vacation

    This guy was there. The other fish stayed away because he is an Ich magnet.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It was hot last night so I put on the AC for the first time this year. In the night it automatically set the temperature to Antarctic mode. I have to spend the day chopping icicles off the light fixtures. :eek:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Table is gone. :D I just fed my fish and gave them some white worms. OMG I have a lot of those suckers. They go through a stale, frozen slice of whole grain bread with yogurt on it in a couple of days. They are totally different than the worm culture I started out with and looks like I...

    Sponges

    Sponges. As I was washing my car yesterday I was thinking about sponges. I added this light blue sponge to my tank maybe 15 years ago and the thing really took off. I feel that is a good thing because for it to grow like that it has to be filtering a lot of gunk out of my water which is probably...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Yes she has. We are getting her I think next week for a few days. My reef is doing exceptionally well and I am not sure why but I am as happy as I can be. Well I could be happier but I don't hear Christie Brinkley ringing my door bell so I am almost as happy as I could be. ;) I have 6 or 7...

    Everything I know in case I go Senile. (From 2014)

    Understanding Old Tank Syndrome March 16, 2016 by Paul Baldassano In a few years, my reef will turn 50 years old. I believe I’ve avoided old tank syndrome by using the procedures outlined in this article. Old Tank Syndrome, or OTS, is something we have been hearing about since the hobby...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    We had some visitors yesterday and I let a very cute little girl feed my tank. The fish got enough food for a month so they should be very happy. :confused: My wife and I went to clean the boat yesterday and the thing was filthy. I can't take it out today and it is the first Memorial Day I...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Today my wife and I are going to clean the boat as it is to dirty to go out in tomorrow. We will just do a light cleaning as I am having the marina compound and wax it. I did that myself all my life but I got old (er) and now let them do that. I inadvertently left a beer and an energy drink...

    Please, Lets Honor Memorial Day

    A Memorial Day fact everyone should know is that the first observances of what we now refer to as “Memorial Day” were intended to honor those who died in battle during the Civil War. Claiming more lives than any other conflict in U.S. history, the Civil War required the establishment of the...

    My Interesting Caribbean Vacation

    So My friend and I are exploring this private, rocky beach and we come upon this greasy looking stuff. About 10 lbs of it so we both figured it was Ambergris. Ambergris comes out of sperm whales and the whales use it to cover squid beaks so they don't cut them when they poop. (ouch ) The stuff...
