Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
No, not the tank, My house. I am so lucky, no, not that I got this flood, but the circumstances.
My wife and I were getting ready to go out to our marina for dinner and my wife hears this Bang. Then she hears water running, fast. She says, what was that and why do I hear water running. I...
I converted my DIY, evaporating chiller, that was already converted from a bio ball chamber to a worm bacteria grower to increase the bacteria in my worm keeper so I can keep many more blackworms. The acrylic thing at the top with the water flowing over plates is the old chiller that is not...
Today I went to my favorite LFS to see if they got in a female dragon faced pipefish but no luck yet. I want to spawn mine and he looks depressed. On sunday they are supposed to get in 4 corythoichtys which are very cool but have a weird name. They are pipefish that look similar to dragon face...
I looked back at a book I started (and will never finish writing) in 1971 and at that time, or a couple of years later I started keeping copperbands. They are a great fish with a lot of personality. But if I could not get live blackworms, I would not keep one.
Here is a video of the one I have...
This is the first time in decades that I don't have a Hippo Tang in my tank. I also don't have any percula clownfish. I just don't like percula's and have had to many of them. Besides my fireclown would chase it out of the tank. I do like hippo tangs but after a few years in my tank they...
I fixed my ozonizer. I probably should not have tested it by putting the outlet hose in my nose but it is fixed. An instant headache proves that it works and the fact that I almost had to call the EMS with the paddles proves that it works great.
Yesterday I fed my fish and I heard a big...
I got about 10 more crabs today so I am set and don't need any more. But of course, if I get the urge, I will catch more just because I can. It is going to be a fabulous boating weekend.
I have them almost every week. There is a place I go by boat in the Bronx right under the Throgs Neck Bridge that charges $6.00 a dozen for clams which is giving them away. My marina charges $18.00 a dozen.
That is where that picture of me eating the shrimp was taken.
Eat them, I will. I have about 2 dozen and I will go again tomorrow to get another dozen. We are having a lot of company from Boston so we need a lot of linguini and crabs.
I just came back from the annual Veterans Picnic on Long Island. I didn't get a chance to eat because out of the 7 million or so Veterans on Long Island, virtually every one of them from the Revolutionary war up until last Tuesday was there, and except for maybe 10 of them, they were all in...
I rebuilt that LED fixture almost as good as new. I had to change 8 LEDs that were either dim or out completely.
Today I collected 15 gallons of NSW and after it warms up I will dump that in. I like to diatom filter it when it looks a little cloudy like this looks because it has a lot of...
