Dragons are extremely cool Here is a video.

I brought over one of my wife's friends to cheer her up so I too a video in my spare time.

I have four pipefish. 2 blue stripes and a dragon face. The blue stripes have been in there for a few years and spawn every few weeks.

Yesterday I fed my tank as usual. Clams, mysis, new born brine shrimp and live worms. Of course all the fish, especially the copperband rushed out and try to eat everything before the next fish gets it. My Janss pipefish also but he has a tiny mouth and can't eat much food unless it is very...

After we came back from DR (MRI, Blood etc.) I put her in bed and noticed my skimmer was just making large bubbles. I actually noticed this 2 weeks ago but I have been busy so I couldn't mess with it. I just took apart the venturi valve and it was filled with tube worm shells so I cleaned it...

In spite of my practically ignoring my tank lately, everything looks great. My Bangai is still living although he has not eaten anything in about a month and his age is severely slowing him down. He still gets around but slower and has no interest in the things he used to like, He is also near...

LOL, yes I remembered and got rid of all that stuff. But you should have reminded me the day before. :D

I have not seen this guy for months and figured he shed and got eaten by the hoards of bristleworms I have in my tank. Thats what usually happens to any crustaceans in my tank when they shed. But this little fella showed up yesterday no worse for the wear. I think I still have four more of...

OK, I found it: WE once dove in some Island off Mexico (big mistake) and I saw this giant moray eel about 12' long. I pointed it out to the Jiboni behind me because he was taking pictures of everything. The Jiboni swims up to this giant fish and tries to tickle it under his chin like "Jacques...

Oh No, not the moray eel story. I posted that many times and I will see if I can find it so I don't have to write it again. I will get back to you. :D

Why do I say that fish are smarter than us? Well think about it, we as 2 legged beings can go forward, backward and from side to side. Fish can do that too, but they can also go up and down, and they can do that just by thinking about it and barely moving a fin. If we get up in the middle of...

Yes, I am moving to Baiting Hollow near Riverhead. I am throwing out pounds of books including all my antique fish books and all my fish and coral textbooks. Many I have not opened in decades. I just don't have the room or will to re-locate them. I have tools specific to some cars...

My tank is really ignored now that I am selling my house. I have been throwing things out like crazy and drawing prints for my new condo to change things around as they are building it. It's about 60 miles away so it takes a little time to get out there. I can't possibly fit all my existing...

I will have to call it a "Re-Build" thread. :D

The photographer came to my house today to take pictures for the real estate sale. She took more pictures of my tank than the rest of the house even though the tank is not for sale. Actually, I am leaving the tank and just taking everything in it to my new home. Very soon I should start...

Yesterday I was invited with my Daughter to tour this project they are trying to build under New York City right where the Williamsburg Bridge reaches Manhattan. I have been driving over that bridge all my life and never realized the ground under there is hollow. The space was built in 1903 as...

I figured out how to move my tank. We bought a new Condo about 60 miles from where I live now that is still being built and I was concerned that I may have to move out of my house before I close on the new place because it may not be built exactly by the day I have to move. If that happens we...

Some of my pipefish eating new born brine shrimp

My next tank will be a combination tank with all the innovations that have come about in this hobby. For instance I want a DSB a SSB, BB along with a Undergravel filter and bio balls. This is going to be tough. I guess I will have the BB on the bottom, then a few inches up, put 7" of a DSB, then...
