I have been an A Rated, Master, Commercial/Industrial Electrician in Manhattan for 40 years, now retired. There is no higher credentials for electrician than I have. I lit up the top of the Empire State building, re built all the machine rooms in the Chrysler Building, installed the lightning...

I am almost finished with another SteamPunk lamp. I know I keep saying this, but this new one is my favorite so far. It seems they are all my favorite as I am building them. I found out that the art show they will be in is a month long. During the show people can bid on the items and buy...

For about six bucks in Staples I bought a box of 4 ink refills. It comes with a hypodermic needle and instructions on how to fill your cartridges. I really now only refill the black as I found the other colors were not exactly what they are supposed to look like but great for normal color...

I just took this video which came out pretty good. The mandarins won't let me take closeups so they are not in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dKzh6ZOYs&feature=youtu.be

For a few days I couldn't find any of my anemone crabs, and I have 5 of them. I searched behind rocks with a flashlight, crawled under and to the back of the tank with a mirror, called out their name etc. Not one. But this morning before the lights came on I see four of them on the same...

I am sure it is. He probably deserved it by sueing the wrong guy :rolleyes:

Queen anthius eating clams, worms and Mysis. Lousy video and colors are washed out so I will also add a better video just eating baby brine shrimp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxQaV01x_M8&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frNlgC3GN3c

Even if I wanted to sue the gym, I wouldn't drink water from a urinal. I would rather the lawyer did :D Especially those lawyers on that commercial that say "If you have ever been injured anywhere, doing anything you can sue someone and make big bucks for doing nothing. If you fall on the ice...

Today after breakfast at a diner my wife and I went to the gym. Our regular gym is closed this week because they are doing a water change in the pool. I think they got algae, cyano or flatworms, I really don't know but the town lets us go to another gym if ours is closed. This other gym is...

I just thought of this and figured it may be interesting. When we were first married my tank was a 40 gallon which was considered pretty big then. I had the tank before we were married so naturally the tank came along with me when my wife and I got our first apartment. That apartment was on the...

Very nice picture. :biggrin:

I just finished a new one which I really like. The glass is two liquor bottles cut in half and the necks also cut off. I am not crazy about those bottles so am drinking heavily to get two more, nice looking bottles. I hope my liver holds out. The part where the antique radio switch is in is a...

I think that bangai cardinal is making a fool out of me as he is eating well and looks better than he ever did. He is well past his supposed lifespan so maybe he is taking suppliments. My copperband also had this dark mark on his side and now it is almost gone. This is how he looked a few...

New model, made out of a couple of liquor bottles cut in half

RiverSwami, what a nice post, thank you for responding. We looked many times for cannonballs with an underwater metal detector but only found clams, huge ones. There is an old Revolutionary War fort here in New York named Fort Totten that is at the end of the East River just as it passes...

Floating stuff I was just messing around with my tank and I noticed something that is so obvious but we never seem to remark or think about it. "Floating stuff". Floating stuff in our tanks and in the sea is actually very important, maybe the most important thing there is besides Supermodels...

Fish keeping was much more fun in the 70s because virtually nothing was known about salt water fish. There were no "experts" or even self proclaimed "experts". People couldn't even pretend to be "experts" because no one had a salt tank. I started mine about the same week salt water fish...

The only thing I dump is old salt water and not very much of that. I don't dose anything except calcium and baking soda, I use no reactors or controllers, I never need to use any medications because my fish are immune, the only food is from the sea, nothing dry, processed or freeze dried. I...

A couple of fish, but I caught them and gave them away. One I remember was a dragon wrasse which re landscaped too much. Creektree Thanks. :D

Here is a log book page from 1976. Notice the assortment I had in, at that time a 40 gallon tank
