    Tank turned 41 years old

    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 amazed at my algae trough and it is filled with all...

    NYC Halloween Parade

    My Daughter and her husband walked in the NYV Halloween parade last night along with 60,000 other people. They were interviewed 4 times by news stations. This is them in their Brooklyn Bridge costume.

    Weather station

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

    Tank turned 41 years old

    Winter is coming so I am going to winterize my boat and put it on dry dock so I just have one more day to collect some amphipods and bacteria from the sea. I have enough snails and shrimp already. You can't kill those local NY mud snails. We went away for 4 days this week and I only lost one...

    Bristle worms

    :der:A while ago I added a Shrimp/gobi combination and just today they moved to a home at the back corner of the tank under my overflow skimmer. Anyway they are in a place where food never gets to so I shot some pellets near them. In less than a minute the entire corner of the tank extending...

    Holding down corals

    You can also double up on the shrink tubing if lead scares you.

    Holding down corals

    No, but that would be a good Idea. A little exposed lead will not hurt but I would rather have none of it.

    Wedding anniversary

    Oh yeah, that would work with my wife. :nono:

    Holding down corals

    I don't know about most people but I have a problem with small corals staying put. Especially is you have a type of fish that like to re aquascape. Yes, you can glue everything in but that makes it hard to move things later if need be. I like to use lead. I know if fresh water they sell lead...

    Old Fish

    I have also heard of clowns living over 25 years. In the sea they get much larger than I have ever seen them in a tank. Usually, in my case anyway, an accident kills them. It seems that before 20 years something happens that kills most of the fish but the ones that make it to those advanced...

    Old Fish

    Old fish. What is an old fish? I am not sure but I do know that some fish live a really long time. How long? Real long, like over 20 years. I think most larger fish can live much longer than that but the small fish we normally keep seem to have a much shorter lifespan. From my experience...

    Wedding anniversary

    We did the tourist thing (even though we live here) and I took my wife to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I looked up my Grand Father's name and found him as all my ancestors came through there. I am glad we went because as Americans and New Yorkers, I felt I really should go at least...

    Tank turned 41 years old

    A few weeks ago I added one of those silly gobi/shrimp pairs. As soon as the pair hit the water, the shrimp lost the gobi and found a burrow of his own. I didn't see the shrimp for a while and figured he croaked but now I see him hanging out with this old guy pictured below. He lost his mate...
