How you doing Codfather. I don't have any beer cans in there but there are 12 or so bottles.
The Zapper is still selling pretty well but there are a lot of them selling used on E Bay. We sold about 20,000 of them so I think we did OK. :D
My wife went to Manhattan today to meet our five year old Grand Daughter Greta. (I put my wife on an UBER) My wife is feeling much better (I hope it lasts) and they went to the America Doll something. Greta brought her old doll to have her hair done (no really) You don't want to know how...
I wrote this a few months ago, but I just found it again and I have nothing to say about my fish because they are doing what fish normally do such as eating and pooping.

Last week I took my wife to California for a medical procedure and on the plane on the way home a young man sat...
Very soon I have to start building rock for my tank move.* I want to build a large structure to keep my reef off the bottom.* There is just so much to do with the move.* I threw out and gave away so much stuff already including many tools, all my Scuba equipment, all my books, my snow blower is...
First of all my wife is a little better today and is eating, talking, exercizing and most of all telling me what I should do which is great. Now I can go on with my selective hearing like all Men get. But I love it when she gets even a little better. :p
I came across my interview on a local...
You are correct, I just saw that 14" one. My wife already ordered me one for Christmas. I wish I had seen this American one first.
At least I got an American router. I also buy American clothes but it is difficult. I wear no sneakers except American made New Balance. But only few styles...
JRWOHLER Thanks for that site. The problem with it is they don't tell you where those tools are built, which means China.
I already discovered I can't get an American made one but I won't buy a Chinese one. If that is all that is available I will look for an old, used American one or at least...
I just finished my water change using fake water. I can't wait until I move because I will be right near the sea and I can just back my car up to the water and pump it into containers.
This mixing and lugging around ASW water is getting old as I am.
I changed about a third of my tank water or a...
We went to my Daughters other house in Vermont for Thanksgiving mostly because I really like driving six hours for a turkey. The trip was uneventful anf the holiday was great, not so much for the turkey though.
My Son n Law has those ATVs and plenty of acres so we went out on those and got...
I am getting some red algae and some cyano, no problem but with the move I have really been neglecting the tank and overfeeding. I really should change some water. My nitrate reading is way off the chart so I can't tell what it is. All the livestock is very healthy but even a very low...
Very hard to get a picture of that possum wrasse much less a Video. But here is a little of him. His colors are much better now after a few months in my tank.
Diana, I wrote this about mandarins. Paul B’s Unique Perspective on Keeping Mandarins
They are not a beginner fish or a new or small tank fish. You need to feed them every day or have a very large, mature system, more than a few years old.
I got the whiteworms on like, I just Googled White...
Mandarins are extremely cool and I have been keeping them for many years. They are a long lived fish if you know their requirements and not a get and forget fish. They do need a little help but the beauty of them make them worthwhile.
This Whiteworm culture is a few years old and the original worms were very small and skinny. In time the new generations are much longer and fatter. I don't know why. But these new worms are also much harder to separate from the soil they live in. The original worms used to swarm by the...
