Those bananafish seem to be spawning. I can't see one of them to well as she is in the nest (I think) The other one follows her in there all day. Notice how fat she is compared to the last shot of her And I just got this guy today. Very cool. He gets along great with this guy,

I quit keeping Emu's. I never had one but if I did, it would be time to quit.

I think the LFS that I go to the most is going to go out of business. They raised their electric bill by 40% and I think that will push them over the edge. If that happens I have to travel about 3 times farther to get blackworms so I will have to build a much larger worm keeper so I don't have...

My tank is running well, everybody is happy, the pair of pistol shrimp are still digging up the entire tank and toppling rocks, the clown gobies are still spawning and killing the acropora's, the fireclown's are still fighting/spawning and both of them hate the copperband but he doesn't care and...

It didn't hurt mine :D

Actually we used to do that all the time, and No, you don't even have to change the water. You can add one cup of "regular Clorox" to fifty gallons of water, let it sit for a few days and then add double the dose of chlorine remover to the tank. In a few days, add fish and make believe it...

I had a Fairchild game which came out just before Arari and was really archaic. It had "Pong" and little else.

I hate when that happens. That's a bummer. That heater was from my freshwater days and was kind of old. I even have older ones that worked by steam. I still find marbles in my tank as some of that stuff has been in my tank from when it was freshwater in the 50s and 60s. Remember my tank was not...

I can't load the video but its my computer, not your video. Grand Cayman actually has some nice diving for the Caribbean, I have dove there a few times. This was Hawaii last year, but Grand Cayman has better visability :D

So I am sitting in my basement watching my fish as they were watching me and all of a sudden the lights go out. I was an electrician for 40 years and I can count on one hand how many times my circuit breaker tripped in my house while I was not doing anything like leaf blowing, arc welding or...

My closest friend and dive partner spends half the time in the Florida Keys and half here in New York. We can't really tank any kind of pictures here as the visability here is measured in inches. My avatar was taken from about an inch away here in NY and that's about the farthest away you can...

That diatom filter stalled and over heated before the job was done so I took it apart and cleaned the bearings. I also drilled large holes in the end plates of the motor and even drilled holes right through the brass bearings so I can put oil right on the armature shaft while it is running. So I...

I decided to do a little maintenance today but I have to do it very gently as bluestripe pipefish don't survive these typhoons. Every time I have done this I lost them and they are a breeding pair so I want to keep them. Once or twice a year my tank depends on stirring up the gravel all the...

I have to hold off on some UG filter maintenance for a couple of years as bluestriped pipefish don't survive typhoons. A couple of times a year I normally use my diatom filter to mix the gravel all the way down to the UG filter plate but every time I have done that, I lost the bluestripes. Their...

That's also what keeps me going :)

I am finally at the point in my life and the life of my reef tank where I know I can relax and nothing is going to happen. Well, I may become senile and the Earth may be invaded by aliens, global warming may disturb some polar bears and people will lost interest in Myley Cyrus, but besides that...

These suckers do eat a lot. They now compete with the coppperband which is the biggest eater by far. I still think the two pistol shrimp are spawning but I can't be sure, they just have that look on their eye stalks. Right now I have the pumps off because I always do that when I feed the...

According to my big boiler temperature on the wall, it looks like about 78 today.

If they get big, I have a plan to get them out. Not a very good plan but a plan none the less.

I got them here on the Island. They have a few of them but they guy told me they stay small, this site says they get up to 8" so I may soon have to get the fishing pole out. http://www.reefs2go.com/product/F-MISC-BANANA/Banana-Fish-pentapodus-nemurus.html I get all sorts of information about...
