    Bristle worm trap

    This is the newly designed trap in the tank. It has a water hose feeding it water to keep the food and worms fresh

    Bristle worm trap

    I kind of like bristleworms but now I just have too many of them. Whenever I move a rock I notice it is loaded with the little slimers. I recently had a small clam up on the rocks and it fell onto the gravel. The worms sucked it out in no time so now it is war. Over the years I have made...

    Tank turned 41 years old

    For that picture I turned down the white LEDs a little, it is not that blue in person.

    Tank turned 41 years old

    I finally got that new DIY rock into the tank, but I had to remove about 15lbs of rock to do it and make a mess. I am still working with one arm so it was a little job. You can see it on the right side of the tank, it starts to the left of the large gorgonian under the back of the bottle and...

    That skinny little female mandarin at the beginning of this thread is now all filled out and bordering on a little chubby. I am hopeful that soon she will grow enough to mate with the large male who so far ignores her. I don't know why, she is cute.

    Tank turned 41 years old

    Actually, my tank is now 41 years old this month. I know the title says 41 years old and I don't know how that got there, but it was only 40 years old when that was put up. I don't remember when I was 41 years old.

    Tank turned 41 years old

    I have a dilemma. A couple of months ago I built this piece of rock (pictured) that was supposed to cascade over the right side of the tank and give me more room. It has a place on the end for a large coral and a place in the center for a smaller frag. I can't put it on the right side with...

    Clownfish, Love hate relationship

    Their problem is that they have no real sex. They change from male to female. And get the worst traits from both

    Clownfish, Love hate relationship

    These two fireclowns can't make up their minds. For a couple of years they were spawning, then for the next few years they fought, now they are spawning again. This has been going on for at least ten years. The larger one is about 16 or 17 years old, I am not sure how old the smaller one is...

    Tank turned 41 years old

    Yesterday I went to a new LFS and I brought some water to test just for giggles. I told the guy, I don't have test kits and am just curious but I know the nitrates read about 5. He tested it and they are a little over 30. I screamed a little, just a little and then I got excited. I always...

    Tank turned 41 years old

    This is so cool. My decorator crab found some hair algae growing right at the water's edge behind the top black rim of the tank. I didn't even notice it. He is hanging on to it and eating it like spaghetti. It is hard to tell but that top bubble coral is a reflection off the water surface so...

    It's been a little over a month since I installed this thing and I love it. My tank has 3 bluestrip pipefish, and two mandarins along with some small clown gobies and shrimp. They all hang around this thing for a few hours that it has shrimp in it. In this tank I really don't have to...

    Tank turned 41 years old

    I just added another pair of bluestripes. Here is the old, larger female with a new small male. There is also another small female.

    Tank turned 41 years old

    So I just got back from the Dr that did my shoulder surgery and he showed me the pictures that he took inside the shoulder. Very cool. I love this stuff. He showed me what it looks like now after he repaired the rotator cuff. It looks like a bright white plastic sheet stretched over the...
