    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    This has been the fifth snowiest winter we have had in New York and so far this year we have had five feet of snow so far, and not once this year, or for 4 or 5 years have I seen anyone with a shovel coming around trying to make some money by shoveling. I don't feel bad for young boys if they...

    Why so many problems?

    I do, but she is my wife and she doesn't wear Timberland boots, But I do help her with the cleaning and she helps herself look good which is how I like it. I used to have that problem before I found an easy solution. When I mix up my ASW, instead of RO/DI water, I use Windex. It keeps the...

    Why so many problems?

    I can't believe that there are so many problems in this rewarding hobby. If you read through these forums you will read almost nothing but problems and this is supposed to be a hobby. A hobby is supposed to be fun. If you have been in this for 4 years and for 3 years and 6 months you see...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Thank you, I love being an inventor and I stay up all night thinking of things to invent, unfortunately most of the good stuff has already been invented, things like pooper scoopers, SPAM, hamburger helper, pet rock, Slinky, bubble gum and five day deodorant pads. But if you and I were stranded...

    I didn't know you could close a photobucket account or have a reason to. All my photobucket pictures are on here anyway. But you got me, she put in the sink

    Free firefish

    You should keep him just until this storm is over. I added a bunch of firefish to heat my tank in the event of power failure. :)

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My dragon faced pipefish has an issue. He is bloated and floats. That is a common problem with fish in the seahorse family. The males have a pouch and they give birth. When Mother Nature decided that males of some species should give birth she designed this pouch for the males to nurture the...

    Chasing my ph

    You are most likely correct, but this is the reason I don't have any test kits. I don't have to think about all of this.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I found some old pictures of my tank. These were on film and I am not sure what year it was but the one with the big leather coral (or one just like it) was in FAMMA magazine

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have been wanting to re design my workshop since I moved here 35 years ago, I just "almost" finished it today. I got that little lab sink At Home Depot and I built those drawers under the bench. It took me a few decades to think about adding that sink, and between yesterday and today, I...

    How to make your tank natural looking

    This picture was taken by my dive partner probably in the Caymans. I love the look of the gorgonian against the blue background of the sea. This is hard to reproduce in a tank because usually a blue background will look fake in a tank so I go for black. But I like the sparse look of this.

    How to make your tank natural looking

    OK, not that I am an expert on anything but I am old and have an old tank that I think is natural looking. Of course that is my opinion and it certainly is not the nicest tank or most natural looking tank but I thought it would make for good conversation. There are plenty of really nice looking...

    Help with Moorish Idol feeding please.

    That was me but I would feed him more clams and less pellets. I designed a feeder for Idols that was a dish that sat on the bottom. A tube went to the surface and had a little funnel on it. An auto feeder was above that and maybe 5 times a day it would dispense pellets that I first soaked in...

    Chasing my ph

    I have been doing this for over fifty years and never once adjusted my pH. Leave the thing alone and throw out that test kit before you screw up your tank.

    Reef safe cement/concrete?

    I know of that product, I just never knew if it was reef safe as it has more ingredients in it then regular cement. But if it works in a reef, I may switch to it

    Fish birthday, what to do?

    I have some older pictures of him. This one is not to long ago, I think just 5 or so years. This one is probably the oldest one I have because this is before digital photography. All the older pictures would be on film and I would have to search through archives. This was during a...
