We went to a really nice all inclusive in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We went there because our Daughter and Son in Law wanted us to come with them (to babysit) and that was the perfect place for us and the kids. They have a kids club with everything a little kid would want like...

The shut off valve can be had at Home Depot, a plumbing supply or on line in any voltage you need.

I will be on the radio this friday (4/22/16) at 10:00am. It is the CW Post station on 88.1FM. It's a New York station so probably 6 or 7 people can get it. It is a Geezer station and I will be interviewed. Not really about fish, it's a station that caters to retired people (Geezers) and being I...

I went to vote today in the New York primaries and when I went to the normal polling place, it was closed. So I called my town to ask where the voting place was. A woman got on the phone who barely spoke English and told me she didn't know where I should vote. This was the number you call for...

I am not brave. Suction cups are a stupid invention. I don't use the suction cups, I built a bracket that hangs the thing over the side of the tank. I just pull it out to clean it. The suction cups last about ten minutes. When the other pump failed, I used the magnet on it to build a new...

I think I am going to go back to these. I had 5 or 6 of them and they all lasted over 20 years running continuously with no problems. You don't even hardly ever have to clean them. The Propeller ones like the one that failed need a lot of maintenance and they don't last long at all. They...

My 2 year old Cobalt, how ever you spell it, died. I really hate these things. Not just that one but all new pumps. My original, (American Made) pumps lasted for over 20 years, some 30 and some are still running from the 70s, non stop 24/7 with no problems. This one that died. This one...

I designed a slightly different venturi valve for my DIY skimmer than the one I was using. My existing one used a neoprene washer inside and after many years it rotted because I use ozone. This one has a better design inside and has a smooth bore and a better method of producing small bubbles...

I designed a slightly different venture valve for my DIY skimmer than the one I was using. My existing one used a neoprene washer inside and after many years it rotted. This one has a better design inside and has a smooth bore and a better method of producing small bubbles. I know it works...

Fireclowns spawned again last night. I think they spawn every month or five weeks. I don't get to excited when clowns spawn because they will spawn by eating cardboard as long as you put a picture of a worm on it. I am a little excited that he is about 25 years old and she is about 17 or so...

My arrow crab has a little nose cyano problem.

Yes of course. I loved that show. :D

My Bangai cardinals are full size. Actually a little larger than what their adult size of 3" is supposed to be according to Wikipedia encyclopedia. His dorsal streamer that goes off the picture is about 3" long. These fish are about as healthy as they can be in a tank. I can determine that...

That little orange pygmy hawkfish comes out "near" the front now. I am not sure why he is getting over his fear of other company as he is not bad looking. My male bluestripe disappears for a week at a time and I always think I lost him, but again, today he came out in the front, smiling and...

This is just great. Today my Daughter called me to tell me that she found out that one in five Viet Nam Vets have Hepatitis C. You didn't even have to go to Nam because it was from the air guns that they gave us the shots with. Before going to Nam we had to walk down this narrow hallway with...

Taking pictures. It's almost impossible to get a picture of this guy, the fish, not the crab [/URL

This is a galvanized piece of "Kindorf" which we use in the construction trade for just about everything. It is one of 4 that has been holding up my reef for almost 40 years. I added that leg next to it to hold up the weight because I was afraid to remove it. I did this to two of the legs so far.

I have been experimenting with this little anemone crab for a couple of months by giving him a live blackworm every day. At first he just looked at me like I was crazy and continued filter feeding. But now he comes out for the worm as soon as he sees the feeder and grabs the worm. He also...

I had my second hand surgery yesterday because I guess the first one was only practice. Now they tell me they have it down to a science. My right hand is bandaged from my knuckles almost to my elbow. It is amazing how many times you need your right hand during the day. Luckily I am used to...

That is great. Unfortunately, I started to break my tank down.
