The corals are fine but some of the tips died from algae. That will pass. I got my old skimmer working but there is so much slime exuding from corals and other things that my venture gets clogged every hour or so. The tank is now crystal clear because out of my 3 diatom filters I took enough...

Diana I have some steps to deal with these problems. First, when my wife wakes up we will go to a nice breakfast on the water someplace, maybe I will have the poached eggs. Then I will come home and hang a very overpriced mirror we bought yesterday. After that I will try to start one of my...

Oh No!!! I am Battling hair algae, red algae, cyano, Godzilla Larvae and scrunge. But that stuff refuses to fight back, it just stays there laughing at me. :eek: There are dead Beatles and lightning bugs floating in a sea of sludge. I am at my wits end, and my wits are very long. I think...

Yesterday we took a Lighthouse cruise with our friends out east on Orient Point. (This is one of the things old people do) It was on a high speed jet boat that cruised at about 40 knots, which is fast for a boat that carries 200 people. We went to about 9 lighthouses and also went around Plum...

I know about that and I did not do it this time. I have done it in the past with my Willy's Jeep though. :D With all that weight in the back, I doubt it would have helped

That is very cool. I may either build those or buy a pair. Of course I could always buy a bulldozer. :D There is another beach here where the cop chased me from but now I have a permit and will not be bringing a big truck so I don't think he will bother me. :rolleyes: It's a cement boat ramp...

Last night I took my new Jeep Renegade on the beach to collect water. The thing should have no trouble in sand because it says "Trail Rated" and has a setting for sand, mud, snow and rocks so I would assume it will travel on those substances. So I put it in sand mode and we go on to the beach...

My tank is running well and looks like I never moved it except some of the gorgonians don't look happy. They are healthy but grew for years in a certain way and when you move them, they hate you because they were growing in a place with the right amount of light and current and now have to grow...

Two weeks ago my lawyer who worked on my move sent me a check for the remainder of the escrow from my old house and after a few days we didn't get it. He sent it through FEDEX. So he stopped the check. Then he sent us another one through FEDEX and we never got it. But we did get an E Mail from...

Sometimes your day goes well, and sometimes you get a Boo Boo!

About water changes, (from someplace else) I am not sure how much we need to check Molybdenum or wash water from Columbus underwear in our tanks but I think we are looking much to deeply into this and I also don't think we need to count the pods a wrasse eats for lunch. I think we need to look...

Hello, is any body here? It's awefully quiet. We are going to the old neighborhood today and I will get to my LFS. I hope they have some interesting corals and fish as I need to fill this tank. We are going there to see out Doctors. My Doctor is a Supermodel so I really just go there to see...

I finally rinsed the rest:D of my gravel in fresh water to remove the bleach and added it to my reef. I didn't add all the rocks yet. But at least the gravel is up to the level it was in my last tank. I also turned on the Reverse UG filter just for kicks. You know no matter how much you...

I plugged in the fan while I was holding it. The very first thing that happened, was that it tripped the breaker. :confused: That was one of the builders 15 amp GFCI breakers which is a silly, Sissy thing to have on a garage circuit. So I then held the fan and plugged it into one of the Real...

I really need to add my skimmer because I have foam that looks like hot chocolate that was made with bad milk forming on the surface of my water. Being that there is no top on the tank and it is in my workshop where the door is open all day to the outside the tank is also collecting a bunch of...

I think my diatoms are pretty much gone. Must have gotten bored. I am starting to get a nice growth of algae on the back glass which I think is pretty essential so things can start growing and grazing there. Now I can start to add smaller fish that can hunt there. My mandarin seems pretty fat...

I took pictures of my tank and they are still in my phone which is right next to my sleeping wife and a sleeping wife is a wife that is not asking me to go shopping for a bunch of stuff that we don't need or want and will return next week. I will post the pictures when I can get my phone...

My tank now is full of diatoms. I could say I am "Battling" them but they really just sit there and don't fight back. Normally I would like this as it is a challenge, but I don't have time now and the front glass looks like sheet metal 10 minutes after I clean it. This is from the Long Island...

The trip to our Daughters was uneventful for the most part. Except that I really hate Manhattan. I was born in New York city (brooklyn) and worked in Manhattan all my life but after I retired I figured I would never even have to see it on TV any more. Then our Daughter married a guy who grew...
