Weinerdog, very nice post and thank you for your service. That is a long time to serve and I am honored to know you. I am also a proud Vet. I spent a year in the jungle of Viet Nam and Cambodia and I would do it all over again. I also miss my buddies who I served with. I lost many friends and...

Downbeach, thank you for posting that.

Today is again Veterans Day, the most important day of the year for all Americans. Lets thank the people we have now serving to protect us and the Veterans that went before them. A lot of guys gave all so we can be here talking about fish.

Unorthodox feeding methods Again, I thought everyone did this stuff. OK maybe not but it was always common sense to me. Like I said there was not always commercially available stuff to feed our animals. The hobby of keeping the animals started first, then the hobby about feeding and careing for...

The second unorthodox thing is chlorine bleach treatment of sea water. Don't do this. Don't do a lot of the things I do. I am not responsible for anything you do, so just take it for what it is, unorthodox. First of all let me say that I did not invent this, that was Robert Straughn "The...

Mad reefer, that is cool. Of course the baby most likely would have lived if you helped him hatch. But then again, maybe not. Most of us are not really fish or turtle doctors.

As I said, it usually fixes itself with no help (or holes in their head) from us. But then I would have nothing to write. :cry:

I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of the odder things some of us do that is not the norm. Thanks to computers and the internet much of this hobby has become a cookie cutter endeavour and many people do the same things the same way. :eek:I started way before the internet so...

Right now the oldest fish is a 17 year old fireclown

Tanks, he likes you also :grin:

Hair algae is something that scares a lot of people and for good reason. I only have one place in my reef where I grow it on purpose. This was a string that I had tied to a coral that was at one time suspended from above the tank. I cut the string and let it unravel. It grew this tuft of hair...

That gobi above is doing fine and I like gobies so This week I added this guy. I was afraid my larger, old male watchman would kill it and at first he chased it all over the place but after a few hours he tired of that and now they just ignore each other and get on with their lives. I am...

Here is a news video. They are just at the 2 minute mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbTBzAe25Zo&feature=youtu.be

They made it to the parade and even with 60,000 people marching they were interviewed 4 times and were on a few news stations. PIX11 mostly but also NY1. I am trying to figure out how to put the link up without having to watch the entire news.

I will sell it to you if you like

Thanks, it looks much better at nigtht and the parade is tonight. There will be thousands of people there

They took it for a spin around the Village before the parade tomorrow night. It got a lot of attention because that place is crowded 24/7

Of course, and the thing is never wrong. My new model that is in the works will have more information. It will have "shaking rock......Earth quake Spinning rock......Tornado and melted rock...Volcano. Like Duh

It snowed in NY yesterday and I was not sure if my weather station was working. But it works fine. :)
