    Pipe Organ Response to pH drop

    I know it's not the same without pictures, but I still wanted to take a second to describe this. I noticed yesterday that my Pipe Organ was slowly closing as the day went on. Nothing else seemed to be acting strange, so I didn't pay much attention. In fact, I assumed that since I had just...

    Tube worms galore!

    It had been a while since I cleaned my skimmer, and this is what I found... In case the pictures aren't clear, that second shot is down inside the body of the skimmer. I noticed it had gotten pretty inefficient, which is why I decided to take it out and clean it. Now that I know what was...

    Finally made a mixing tank...

    I've had a big set of tanks for making RODI water and my auto-top off, but for all this time, I've been mixing saltwater in five gallon jugs by hand. I finally got tired of it, and built a mixing/filling station. I have to say, it is really nice to be able to do a water change, and have the...

    Bikers

    Ended the day in Sonora today. This morning was my first time in Big Bend. It was just that much better that I was on a bike (except for the ridiculously slow speed limits).

    Do montiporta sting?

    So as my monti has grown, I can see that it is clearly beginning to aggravate one head of my candy cane. Do montis sting? They are really close to each other, but it doesn't look like they're actually touching yet, and I've never seen any sweepers come off of the monti. I can imagine when the...

    Reefbreeder Settings

    Omar asked me to give him my settings for my Reefbreeders again. I couldn't figure out how to post a picture from my hard drive to a private message, so I'm posting it here. For anyone who is interested, these are the settings I used for a 48" photon series over a 4' 120 gallon tank. I have a...

    Back from vacation and...

    Nothing Everything looks pretty much exactly like I left it. I guess I should be happy, but I'm not feeling very needed right now, lol. Thought I'd share a shot of the big tank. It's good to be home.

    One year and counting

    So just about a year ago I rescued my tank from my in-laws. It's a 120 Oceanic all glass tank that had been set up as a FOWLR for many years. Everything was state of the art circa 1992, running a wet dry filter and a single fluorescent tube. Here's the pic from right after I moved it to my...

    Update to Sophie's build

    As some of you may remember, Sophie and I started a tank for her. Well, I finally got the stand back together, and moved the tank off of my kitchen counter. The tank is a JBJ 28 gal nano cube with an AquaMaxx HOB skimmer. Wasn't having great success with just the skimmer (lost a couple of...

    Anemone in an awkward spot

    Apparently, he had it under control. I woke up, and he had moved on. That's him off to the side on the gravel.

    Anemone in an awkward spot

    So I found a mini-maxi half way through the screen of one of my overflows. I moved the entire screen to the gravel bed in hopes that he'll work his way out on his own now that there isn't any suction. Other than trying to cut him out, is there anything else I should be doing?

    SUV runs over biker in NY

    Here's my Road Glide. I'm definitely up for a group ride some time. The weather is finally starting to agree with my desire to ride. I also have a Triumph Tiger 800 XC, but I don't have any pictures of it.
