Oh Stop

I checked my tank a little while ago and noticed it was almost overflowing. I see that a float switch is stuck open. That float is many years old and I don't think I cleaned it in over a year so it was good that I was home. Now of course from all the fresh water going in there I could keep...

Getting the boat ready, changing oil and painting outdrives. Collecting season is almost here. If anyone wants to go collecting grass shrimp or amphipods (during the week) let me know. But not for a month or so. Of course, if you are in Montana, it may not be worth it

I am glad you don't want a sub zero. I am on my second one and I think they are made very cheaply compared to what they cost which is about as much as a small car.

I go to a tidepool at low tide and lift rocks or pieces of wood, then swirl them in a bucket. Here is a video. You need the sound all the way up because it was a SCUBA diving camera. This is the tide pool

Last week during a snow storm I took my wife to my favorite restaurant on Long Island, where we ate while watching the snow fall on the sea and the beach. This beach is not far from where I will be collecting in a few weeks. Hopefully, it won't be snowing then.

I had to change this on my PT Cruiser today and I am happy to say that I can still crawl under a car. It's not real easy to get up, but I still got it. This is a motor mount I think. It was rattling as the rubber bushing is shot. I really didn't pay attention to what it's function was but it...

That is 2 fans. There are holes in the fan housing and matching holes in the tubing so the fans suck air through the tubes and blows it upward. My new addition will make it 4 tubes and a larger fan and fan housing. The principal will be the same.

I just ordered 10 more 3 watt LEDs and a driver. The next time I go to the hardware store or HD I will get another 5' aluminum square channel and just build the thing. My reef now only has 36 LEDs and the tank is 6' long so it is way under lit. This will increase it to 46 LEDs which is still...

This guy has been in my reef so many years I have no idea when I got it. Never hurt anything, except me.

The date on the Supermodel on the right is 1986 so she may be a Grand Mother Supermodel now. The one behind my band saw I took off the wall in a photo processing plant in about 1980 or so. I think it was an advertisement for make up or something.

I took a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZA8aJnkVJM&feature=youtu.be

Oak-a-Nuts is very cool.

The tank cleared up nicely after the 2 typhoons. I didn't even lost the bluestripe pipefish as I usually do. Maybe they took a trip when I did it. I may still do it again if I get time before boating season because I cant hit all the places because the corals are larger than they used to be...

Conversation between my 2 1/2 year old Grand Daughter Greta and my Daughter (her Mother) "Does God have a dog?" "I'm not sure. Probably, because he invented dogs so he probably likes them and has a bunch. If I meet him one day, I'll ask him." "Can I come?" "Someday. But maybe not with me."...

That noise is the fans on my LED light fixture that I built. But it does sound like an old 16MM film camera which I still have by the way. Why, are they out of style now?

I picked up another shrimpfish today. I can't stand it, they are just to cool. They had two of them and one was dead. Although the dead one was very cheap, I took the still alive one. I am sure in a few days he will be in fighting shape in my tank. Yes, I know these are not shrimpfish. I...

I got one filter going great and made another typhoon because you can't have to many typhoons. This is s a good one as I can't see the back of my tank so I know I am sucking out a couple of years worth of muck. I think the diatom will last for the entire cleaning. I repaired the bag, stopped...
