Hello, Geezer coming back to this forum. Paul B

[griss]

Griss, I agree. Most of the time I can't see them either and it is just on this site. I am on 5 other sites and it is no problem but If I click on that "X" thing, it shows up. I know they told me my files are to large but I am to old to try how to fix that just for this site so I will just put up some pictures and if they don't work, just make believe you can see something that looks like what I am talking about.

Hmmm, didn't know about clicking the X thing. Just tried it and the picture shows up, that's really weird.

I have found when taking pictures with my phone (iPhone) if I hold the phone upright, the pictures always load. If I turn the phone horizontal, I get the message that the file is too large.

That pic is hosted on photohbucket and not here. I copied the link and tried to insert a photo with the image link function. I see the pic until I post the reply. Then I get the big X

This is what I get if I copy the link to Pauls little x

All the links work if you click on them. The pic opens in a new window.
The machines are working hard to make our lives better.

Like I said, I am too old to worry about it or try to figure it out. It's not that important to me.

So reading here and there, you tried 30 micron and 5 micron pleated filter inserts and the 5 worked the best?
I am seeing 1, 5, 20 and 30 micron in 24 inch pleated sediment filters.

 

[Paul B]

Sometimes, like yesterday when I am just sucking out dead algae, I just use the pleated filter with no powder.

 

[Paul B]

Some of my Waspfish. Very cool.

 

[Paul B]

As I said, now my tank is going through a really severe hair algae cycle. I wish I would get some hair on my head.

I have been sucking it out with my DIY diatom filter without adding the diatom powder. Hopefully, in a few weeks it will all be out and the tank will be pristine again.

Thats all hair algae in the bottom and it is dying in droves. I could open a sod farm.

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

I have more of the "bubbles " kind.

 

[Paul B]

They are worse and hard to get rid of.

Today I have been "prepping" for my very fun colonoscopy. I didn't eat since 5:00 yesterday and won't eat until about 12:00 noon tomorrow so I am a little hungry.

I think I am more tired than hungry because I can't sleep at all unless I take something to sleep so I take "Sleep Eze" almost every night which is just an antihistamine, but it is bright purple so I am not able to take it now. I could take my wife's medical Marijuana but being they will knock me out for this procedure I figure I may not wake up after the anesthesia and find my semi clothed pictures on Facebook. :astonished-face:

They won't allow you to go home by yourself so my wife will have to drive me and it's on a highway. Normally I don't let her drive on the highway because with her MS she uses a "Left Foot" gas pedal and has to use her left foot to brake but almost all my friends are in Florida to escape the cold.
(Bunch of Sissies)

So in an hour I have to drink the "Lemonade" and the exciting part will start.

Good luck Paul. My next colonoscopy in in May.
