It probably got lost in the mail

As a Captain today I re married my closest two friends on our boat. Actually we had 6 boats tied together and I performed the cerimony. It was their 40th anniversary and they wanted to renew their vows. It was a goof, I was dressed like Captain Steubing from the Love Boat and I am not really...

Jim I took that picture in Bora Bora while SCUBA diving. I went there to study moorish Idols but there are long nose all over the place also. They do have longer ones than the ones in the pet trade.

This is around the corner from my house

Redfishbluefish, yes that is a fire from a downed power line, my entire village looks like that. I didn't lose power so I lent my generator to a friend. I just went to my boat which is about 5 miles away and there are only a handful of homes here with power. They pulled my boat out of the water...

This is the scene on almost every block

I live on Long Island and we just drove around and here is my block. We live in an area called the Oaks and this is why. I know the South Shore got flooded and many people have a lot of damage. About a third of the streets are blocked with down, still alive wires and trees. This is the sight al...

I guess they never kicked you with one of their hoof's or tried to impale you on an antler.

Bristle worms, a few years ago these things were a sign of doom. We thought they would eat our corals, fish, TVs and I Pods. Sometimes my reef is full of tiny ones and other times like now there are only a few giant ones. I just fed the tank with blackworms, mysis and pellets and I was...

This poor thing was sitting at a bus stop and she came up to my car and asked me if I could explain UG filters to her. Exactly

Lets talk about Undergravel filters, no really. Old technology? maybe but so is running water. When we got tired of going outside to pump water, we didn't stop using water . We invented faucets. OK not a great analogy. In the beginning of the aquarium hobby, which was right after WW2 we all kept...

Amphipods don't jump into a net, you have to lift porous looking rocks on the muddy beach at low tide. If the mud is too fine there will be hydrogen sulfide and nothing will live, but if you find the right rocks just above the water line at low tide you can get hundreds of them on one rock. It...

They all look like that. ;) Except for the really cool ones, they have tattoos

Budweiser

I never had a problem with either of them. Here is a picture I took in Tahiti.

I have always had them and never had a problem with either one but some people report differently

Today I added a copperband and long nose butterfly. These have always been my favorite fish and I have always had them in my reef. The copperband is not in the greatest health, he has flukes and some wounds. It is not very easy getting a very healthy one of those. I knew that when I saw him but...

Here are some of the little suckers in my algae trough

I can take some pics but I need a little time to shut down the skimmer and get some ambition. They are small so I need to get in there with a macro and it is a tight space. Also, no algae grows near these polyps. :o
