    My most enjoyable moment was when I went to a LFS out east on Long Island and Christie Brinkley got out of the Corvette next to me.

    Copperbands

    I meant "you" shouldn't eat flake food. Oh, then that gives a whole new meaning to flake food. Never heard of them. But I don't use flakes except sometimes maybe corn flakes. but I feed those to my worms and they seem happy. I am not a fan of flake food, even "Almost Natural Fish Food" as...

    Copperbands

    I keep them in this DIY worm keeper but basically they like moving, shallow water and they don't like to go through powerheads.

    Copperbands

    I took this in Tahiti, these long nose butterflies are a close cousin A healthy copperband This one is damaged. See the slight darker spot in the white band to the left and below the dark spot? It doesn't look like anything but in a skinny fish like a copperband, that is caused by...

    Copperbands

    Copperbands, one of my favorite fish and a fish that was one of the first fish available in the late 70s. In those days they were hard to keep but now they are fairly easy as I have had quite a few of them. I can't get them to live 10 or 15 years like most fish but 6 or 7 is closer. My tank is...

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    Ok, are you ready? Here goes. Doh....Photobucket is down for maintenance. Make believe there is a picture of me here with a frown on my face. I can't try the picture yet and it was going to be me standing with 2 Supermodels collecting pods on Malibu Beach.

    Your Best 'Do You Remember When?' Story...

    I remember when the saltwater hobby first started in the US in 1971, I think it was on a Tuesday about 3:40PM. We used pennies for copper, 20 pennies to the gallon.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    You must have lived in a rich area, we just got a dot. When color TV was invented you always got the peacock and it would say "In Living Color" if it was in color which very little was.

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    Yes, that is correct. My Grandparents were born in Sicily so I use olive oil in my tank instead of seawater. Dance

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    Dam, I actually don't have a degree and didn't even go to college, there was that Viet Nam war thing and all. But I do have almost 60 years of fish keeping experience and a 42 year old reef tank that is thriving with 20 year old spawning fish. I am not sure if the guy in the Oceanagraphic...

    I also remember that but do you remember John Neggy, the artist that used to also do that with the clear plastic on the TV? He tried to teach you how to paint. And do you also remember the glass you put on your black and white TV to make it look like color? You have to be older than 62 to...

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    Good because if you live near the ocean and you don't collect water, you may be a Sissy. Make believe there is a picture of me here in the sea collecting water with two Supermodels.:nervous

    Has Anyone considered using our Ocean"s Water???

    I already posted that a few pages up. (remember the thing about the walls where I got in trouble for posting) How come you believe the guy who answers the phone in Woods Hole Oceanagraphic institute who most likely doesn't have a goldfish tank, but you don't believe me? My feelings are dented...

    I can do that, but then that entire box stays shaded, how do I get back to the post to add the image? I even tried drawing a picture on my monitor in crayon, but it still would not go on my post.. I mean I can just pay the 12 bucks to join the forum but I am concerned that even that won't work...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    I have been reading a lot lately and have decided to upgrade my aquarium practices to incorporate "all" of the advances in the hobby to get my fish in the best possable shape, even better than they were in the sea. I also want to eliminate "all" of my questionable practices so here is a synapsis...
