    Cats

    I know this is a touchy subject for a lot of folks, but please keep in mind the problems caused by feral cats. They're a huge problem in Galveston where we have a lot of shore birds that nest on the ground, including several endangered and threatened species. Cats, both house pets and feral...

    disposing of things in NW houston

    In Galveston, all you have to do is call the city's public works dept and they will send a truck to pick up whatever you have...maybe Cypress does that too...

    What was your first job?

    I'm going to give away my age here... My first job was a lifeguard at the local pool, it was a city job and paid $8 a day. Then I got a paper route, think I made about $70 - $80 a month (big $$ for a 14 y/o). Then I washed crop dusters at night during the spring time - $1.50 an hour. Then I...

    Looks to me more like one of the open brain types, Lobophyllia, Symphyllia, or Trachyphyllia.

    The time has come

    After 15 years, it's time to shut down my 140 for good. It's been a great aquarium and we've had a lot of fun with it, but the time has come. We've got some interior remodeling to do on our home plus it's getting more and more difficult to do the maintenance. My plan is to move out the tank...

    A few pics of my tank...

    It's been a very long time since I've posted pics of my 140 in its current configuration, so here goes. The left side - the green slimer has reached the top, the blue stag is not far from it either. The middle - that's a galaxy in the center, it was the size of a golf ball when we first got...

    Who represents Deltec in the US these days?

    Time for the Marshian brain trust to kick in. My old Deltec skimmer is desparate need of a new pump. Does anyone know who can get one of these in the US? The only Deltec distributor I can find online is in the UK. Thanks, Steve

    What is this Thing"?

    Cleaning out my sump the other day and I found this creature down in the bottom. I have no idea what it is, never seen anything like it. Some kinda worm? I hope the Marshian brain trust can come up with something. Should I keep it? Is it safe? It's kinda creepy...

    Speaking of Sea Turtles

    For several years, I have been a volunteer at Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN) in Galveston. Me and a partner patrol west beach every Tuesday morning looking for turtle nests. We finally found a Kemp's Ridley nesting a couple of weeks ago. She laid 124 eggs. The eggs were...

    Large Vermatid

    I pulled this large vermatid out of one of the frags I got at Reef Currents yesterday. Nothing particularly interesting about it except that it survived a 15 min dip in Bayer. I thought that Bayer would kill it for sure, I guess not. good luck, Steve
