    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My town was having a Salute to the Armed Forces and they asked me as a Veteran to come and display my Steam Punk stuff for the event. It was on the beach and very cool. There was also about 50 vintage cars there as well as bands etc. That's the first time I wore my Dog Tags in almost 50 years...

    The Advantages of Keeping natural Tank

    Mark (or is it Shelly?) I would never put any type of food in my tank without "shooting" it in with a baster thing that I make. The worms die in about 8 seconds so I don't want them on my gravel although the fish eat them dead. They normally get eaten as soon as they hit the water as this...

    The Advantages of Keeping natural Tank

    I take whatever I find in the bays in the Sound if I think my fish will eat it. But I keep a natural, immune tank so it doesn't matter what I add from where ever. :D

    The Advantages of Keeping natural Tank

    Mark, here is a link to an article I posted on immunity. A discussion on Immunity Bacteria from the sea will have no trouble living in cold or warm water. The tide pool where I collect goes from about 35 degrees in the winter to close to 90 in the summer as it gets very shallow at low tide...

    The Advantages of Keeping natural Tank

    The advantages of keeping a natural Reef We all know that there are many ways to run a tank but I would like to start a thread about keeping a natural reef. The ocean is natural and the fish there are all very healthy and never have to worry about getting sick, getting enough food, getting...

    Odd Pipefish Behavior

    My male pipefish seems to have almost healed his tail. It was down to stumps as the much larger janss pipefish would chase him whenever he came out to do whatever pipefish do. That pair of bluestripe pipefish learned that they have to stay on the other end of the tank so now I have to feed...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I had a blue wrasse that grew too large so I wanted to give him back to the store. I made a small fish hook by heating a small needle and bending it into a hook. I caught him in a few seconds and brought him back. I wanted a smaller fish so I just told the guy to give me a flasher wrasse. I...

    Disaster (Kind of)

    Thank you Diana A lot of people think of my tank when discussing sewage. :eek: I removed the UG plates many years ago mainly to see what was living under there. It was not filled with too much solid material, but it was filled with those tiny red feather dusters which are great filter...

    Disaster (Kind of)

    For a couple of months my Reverse Under Gravel Filter has been backing up and I wasn't sure why. I found out. I took a mirror and looked into the manifold that has three acrylic tubes coming out the bottom that feed the Reverse UG filter. That is fed by the algae scrubber screen on the right...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    We are having people on the boat so we went to the market. We call that market "Angel Eyes". We gave it that name because a few years ago we were shopping there and I was off looking at asparagus, rudabaker, or Oldsmobile fenders and I see this guy talking to my wife. I sashay over there and he...

    Odd Pipefish Behavior

    Sounds like a plan, I also think I will remove my 26 year old clownfish and quarantine him for 72 days, then freshwater dip, then into copper, Prizapro and quinicrine for 37 days,. Of course the pipefish have to watch this the entire time so they know what to expect. :confused:

    Odd Pipefish Behavior

    They are not similar at all. Janss are orange and black and about 8" long, bluestripes are blue and orange and about 3" long. Well, you seem to be correct, they are the same colors almost. But very different looking
