I also feed my white worms and blackworms yeast. The tank is now crystal clear so I guess it is fine. Of course tomorrow I will up the dosage. :eek:

I just decided (possibly stupidly) to feed my corals yeast. I feed it to my worms and they are always smiling but now my tank is all cloudy from yeast. So either the tank will crash or It will make one heck of a salty loaf of bread. When I get bored, I sometimes do stupid things. :oo:

A friend of mine on another forum had an Idea to use a shop vac to clean the scrubber. Great Idea. I did it in 2 minutes and the thing is almost brand new. I still have to take it apart eventually to clean the slot, but it's working perfectly.

One of the pitfalls of having shoulder surgery is that it is difficult to do any tank maintenance that requires two hands. I can feed the tank, clean the glass and the skimmer cup but that's about it. My algae scrubber is so full that the algae is sloughing off the thing and falling into the...

That smaller one has been in there for over a year (I think) I have always had them but when they shed, my bristleworms kill them. I would like to get 3 or 4 more but I need to trap the larger worms. They are also very cheap.

Today I went to my favorite LFS again. While there I say this beautiful lipstick tang and the way she was looking at me with those pouty lips, I almost went home with her. But then I thought, this thing will probably live for 20 years. At that time I will be in my 80s, probably senile, blind...

Today I picked up a couple of corals. One is about 6" and the other two are small. I had to cut about 6" of my blue sponge so it has some light. I will give that away, hopefully someone wants it. It isn't easy to glue frags because I am still in a sling and can't raise my arm. I got them in...

i had shoulder operation #5 today. I hope he used some quality toggle bolts and not from home depot. nerve blockers are great so no pain yet, but I know what it feels when it wears off. but it is a real man pain and not a girly man pain......besides I got plenty of pain pills. sorry about...

I just made some delicious stuffed calamari for dinner that we will have over linguini and clams tonight. I had too many tentacles left over and didn't want to throw them away so I chopped some of it up for my fish. I generally don't feed squid to my fish as I feel clams are much better but my...

If I could catch this wrasse I would give him away as he has gotten a little big for my tank. He is about 6". I am talking about the striped one, not the spotted leopard.

It's a good thing I just looked at the pump to check for leaks. It is making to mush foam that it almost filled up my five gallon bucket that it goes into. Now that it is broken in I have to adjust it way down. To make these modifications I turned off my ozone generator, of course that doesn't...

I couldn't help myself. I had to take this pump off to clean it and of course one of the threaded studs that hold the impeller housing cracked. I fixed it but while I had the thing off I found in my workshop a much larger pump that I got a few years ago when a LFS here went out of business and...

I will not change the skimmer, but I need to re-look the valve. I want many more tiny bubbles.

I really need to re-design my DIY venture valve in my DIY skimmer. The skimmer used to have 3 air pumps running it because it is about 4' tall and the venturi isn't strong enough to pull air down that far so the air pumps push water into the valve. This worked well for many years but I had to...

Today is my 43rd wedding anniversary. I thought it was 44 but my wife corrected me. It doesn't seem like a day over 42 years. I am taking her out to one of the best restaurants in New York. We are also friends with the owner.

It will take a little more than a pint. :ohnoes:

Thank you. If they would let me, I would do it myself because by now, I probably can if they just do something about my screaming. :wink_new:

In a few weeks I am going to have some surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and torn bicep. This is the fourth time I tore this rotator cuff on my left arm and I think I had it done twice on my right arm. (I also had maybe 5 knee surgeries) But these are Man surgeries and not Sissy surgeries so...

Thank you.

We made it back to her house in an hour and this time went through the Lincoln tunnel. But it took almost as long to drive the mile from the tunnel to her house as it did to go the 70 miles from Sesame place to the tunnel. I still have our Grand Son Teddy to take but maybe a doctor can put me...
