It seems that there are some of the same corals I have in my tank. Some are encrusting and some are zinia's. Most of it is a thick jungle of tube worms that the water has a hard time getting through. I think I cleaned the thing out about a year ago, but I forget. I always like to see large...

I don't really have a refugium, but a lighted algae trough that is above my water. It is fed from the outflow of my skimmer (I don't have a sump) The purpose of it is to have a better place for algae to grow rather than in my tank itself and for the years that it has been installed, it has...

Here are the bluestripe pipefish at the feeder. And the possum wrasse sneaks by also.

It's only knees. In a few years I would like me to get some of those good, new knees. Maybe two of those aluminum jobs as I don't want those cheap wooden ones because we have termite problems here on Long Island. I found some pictures of my tank from 9 years ago.

Today I picked up a pair of bluestriped pipefish. I like to keep a pair of them in my tank but they have a short lifespan of only a few years and it is sometimes hard to find a pair together so when I see them, I buy them. These look a little young which is fine and they should start mating in...

I have had 3 shoulder and 3 knee operations but that all comes from working construction for 40 years. If you don't wear out your joints, you are not working hard enough. :p This morning the shots seem to be working although they are supposed to take some time, like 9 days. I also have only...

Today I bought a bangai cardinal because I don't have to many swimming fish. If you look in my tank, although there are about 18 fish in there, you only see the copperband because all of the others are in caves, spawning someplace in the back or out for pizza. Mandarins do their own thing and...

The A Frame bushings could stand changing but that ain't going to happen as i can't kneel down that long any more.

Well that's true, If you install brakes and have 2 or 3 parts left over, maybe you should let someone else look at it. I was a mechanic many years ago and am glad I got out of that. But at least I can save lots of money. My car also has the bent rim and a bubble in the tire from the potholes...

Yesterday my Son n law came over to help me install brakes and a tie rod end on my car. I can easily do that myself as I have installed brakes probably over 100 times, I used to be a mechanic but he lives in Manhattan and has never worked on a car. I, myself would never think of having someone...

Probably not, with the college costs and all that. Dance

These guys are amazing, the eggs just hatched two days ago and they laid another large batch in the same spot

I like clown gobies because they are a very bright yellow, very peaceful, cheap, and reef safe. Except when they spawn. They like to live on and spawn on acropora corals and wherever they lay their eggs, kills that part of the coral. But luckily for my acropora, this pair only spawns on one...

Tomorrow my tank will be 43 years old. I almost forgot

This morning I was looking at my tank and just thinking. Yes, that gives me a headache. I was closely checking things out, watching the pair of pistol shrimp make tunnels all over the place while keeping one antenna on their favorite watchman gobi. Then I noticed one of my small striped...

Yes I am, and it snowed again last night for a change. :p

It wasn't really a serious post so you can ask all the questions you want. I won't let the cleaning woman with the lice answer them.

I took that picture in July
