Hello, Geezer coming back to this forum. Paul B

[JohnL]

Nice work Paul

 

[Paul B]

Its getting there. I still have a lot more corals to glue and some rock and bottles to add. I also don't like the look of ASW so I will go down to the sea at low tide to collect some algae covered rocks to add diversity and give some food to my many pod eaters.

 

[Paul B]

The tank is doing well. I just had my arms in it for an hour gluing gorgonians and leathers and "fixing" the rock which is very precarious and I am sure it will fall soon

I added more rock and still have a lot left over that probably won't go in.
Unfortunately I found a dead fish in the vat where I had the rock after I removed it from the tank. It was a cool looking gobi who must have hidden in a rock as I removed it. I didn't even know I had him.

All in all one fish lost isn't all that bad considering all the work I did to this tank yesterday.


It's still a little murky from my hands being in there just now.

Unless you’re the fish!

 

[Paul B]

True, but he chose to hide in that rock. I tried to account for them all so it was his fault.

Looks great Paul.

He is doing pretty good for 74 years old. Some parts of me feel like 20. Like my fingernails.

Montepora, Thank you. And remember I am blaming you for this because it was your idea that pushed me to do it.

But but but....... you will thank me one day..... . I would test the water and continue to do more water changes. You have been using NSW for a while and your LR might've absorbed a lot of silicate......................

 

[Paul B]

OOOOhhhhhNNooo. Silicate...... I hate silicate........ I was going to name my first born after you, but Montepora Baldassano is a little long.
Besides, she is already in her 40s.

I hear the courts allow for name changes for pretty much any reason nowadays

This morning I walked for the first time through the center of the golf course out my front door. It was 23 degrees.

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

Watch out for flying balls Paul.
\When I played we were hitting them before the sun came up & following the track in the dew.
I know there's snow there but there are also orange balls for that.

 

[Paul B]

They are not playing when it is 23 degrees and 6:30 in the morning. The course isn't open yet here. This is a private course.

Beautiful pictures, Paul!

 

[Paul B]

Thank you. Tomorrow we are supposed to get 4" of snow so the pictures will be different. Maybe more white.
