Thanks fishfanv. The thing has been in there for a day and the rest of the corals look great for some reason. Must be the aluminum vitamin that they were missing. :rolleye1:

yeah you know fish are like humans, they need their vites too

That tank is an amazing statement!!!

WOW - our senate and congress should take a look at that...

Human pollutiants becoming part of a natural reef...

I mean, in the future, that could be considered normal for real reefs.

Wouldn't it be ashame is our kids though the above was natural.

WOW - what a PC statement

I don't drink the stuff, I only collect it.

This stuff is part of a natural reef unfortunately. I collected almost all of the stuff in my reef in the sea, but a lot of the stuff like cans and bottles were not necessarilly garbage thrown in the water. Boaters are very concious of pollution and in New York anyway we would never think of throwing anything overboard. Most of this stuff gets blown off beaches or boats. I have a dish in my reef where my moorish Idol eats from that I found on a sunken tug boat. I find lounge chairs, tool boxes, tires, rain coats and all sorts of stuff in the water most of it got there by accident. There is an Island where I dive that was a big party Island during prohibition, the pier collapsed and there a tractor down there.
Just about everything that humans make can be found in the sea, unfortunate or not it is a part of life.
Everything that you throw away gets dumped on land somewhere. In New York it all used to be dumped in the sea. A lot of it still does. We need all sorts of stuff and it comes packaged in cans and bottles, it has to end up somewhere.
At least I am a recycler. :lol:
Have a great day.

I found another one, I will have to go collecting off beaches in wealthier places, all I find is Bud cans.
I actually collected this one near Allen King's house. He was a comedian who died this year and his house sold for I believe the third most money on Long Island. There is also the home of Arista records, Arizona Ice Tea, Three Guggenheim castles, the founder of Weight Watchers, the Founder of Loew theaters and the house where they filmed "The Great Gatsby".
You would think these people could afford better booze. :lol:

[Gary Majchrzak]

So you gave the flotsam red carpet treatment, eh Paul?

 

[lux_06]

i recently dived a local jetty known to us as rapid bay jetty, this is home to a pair of leafy sea dragons, (pic below) they live in a pile of old beer bottles that have been thrown over.... cool to watch but sad to think that those bottles should never have been there.

 

[TKByrnes]
