    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    So yesterday for Mothers Day we went to our Daughters house in Manhattan to visit her and the Grand Kids. We had a nice, but noisy time and came home about 8:00pm. Before we got to our street we saw that the main road was closed with fire engines and police all over the place. I also couldn't...

    Happy Mothers Day

    The title says it all. I would personally like to thank all the Mothers, including mine, and my wife for all that you do that is not recognized. It is a very tough job and you don't get thanked enough for it. :p Grand Mothers are also Mothers so we should thank them also.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    It seems that some corals actually like nitrates of 160 and Phosphates of 2.0. I have 2 duncans for quite some time and they both are smiling so much if they tilted their head, their brains would fall out. I tell that to my Grand Daughter, Greta and she slowly says "I am tilting my head". They...

    Copper Band Butterfly death

    I wrote an article someplace on this about copperbands. That sore spot on butterflies and other thin fish is internal bleeding and is rather common with those types of fish. I have autopsied many of them with that condition and it is internal bleeding. It is usually in the meaty portion of...

    David, I use a Vortex Diatom filter. I know other companies make them but I don't know anything about them. I have about 5 of them, mostly for parts to make others work. They are not built very well.

    You are right, I see it now. That piece on the right is not cemented on yet and probably won't go there. It is really just laying behind the piece, there is another one back there too. I need a few more pieces to finish what I am planning and that piece of wood won't go in my tank. :cool: It...

    So far I have this. Built it out of 8 smaller rocks held together with stainless steel threaded rod, epoxy and cement. The right end I built with my left hand and knee. :rolleyes:

    The Dr. told me I can't lift anything heavier than a tea cup for 3 weeks due to the stitches going across my palm. ;Nurse But I don't drink tea so I assume that doesn't apply to me. :) I tried to do some work on the rock structure I am building for the new tank and I mixed the cement with my...

    Thank you Diana Hand surgery is really Sissy Girly Man surgery and I am almost embarassed that I had it. Man surgery is when they tear off your hand and send it out for repairs. Grand Marnier and a pain pill works wonders :confused:

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I put some new rocks together today but couldn't finish the thing. It should be almost 3' long and will support my entire reef structure, or 3' of it anyway. I couldn't build the entire thing the way I wanted so i am just putting some large rocks together with stainless steel screws, epoxy and...

    The new place is just about finished but it will take a few weeks to inspect it, I am guessing we will move the second week in June. My boat just got out to the new marina today and should be in the water Monday. I will go out there (using my good left hand) and clean the thing and possibly...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    We have a closing date of the 21st of this month but I will still live here for a few weeks and pay rent. This may work out very well because if my house ever gets finished I will be able to move my fish there while I still live here. Thats the new plan. I wanted to build a large rock to support...

    Diana, when I installed that thing there were no video's and camera's were made out of wood. :cool: Diana, Of course I made it. I am not a Sissy Girly Man. :D Besides, where would you buy something like that? A chicken market! :grin: That think is extremely simple. There is a pump behind...

    I just got my undergravel filter and I am all Goo Goo over it. OK not really. It is extremely cheaply made compared to my old one and I hope my rocks don't crush the thing. It is one step above that plastic packaging that roast chicken comes in. It also has some very thin tubes that I will...
