Oh No, my high Tech thermometer stopped working

[Paul B]

I got this very high tech brass thermometer from a boiler in the basement of the Plaza hotel about 20 years ago, but it needs a little calibration to be good as new. It has been on my tank for about that long and I can read it from across the street. I don't have one of those little Sissy thermemeters

You can see it on the wall here near my high tech skimmer

You don't put that directly in the tank to you? Does it go in that file and then I Weill sits in the water to keep it from rusting?

i see you also have the latest in corded phone technology too! gotta have that extra long 20" cord. ;)

I want to know if the grey thing hangin on the wall is one of those new fangled communication devices.?

Way to kill the economy Paul. You're suppose to buy the new crap at the same price (if not more) as the old stuff, but with the added feature that it only lasts a year or two before you have to buy another to support the economy. Get with the times!:flock:

That gray thing is my cell phone, that cord is to tie it around my neck.. As for that other stuff, If I can't build it, I don't need it. I don't like that Sissy stuff that many or you people buy :biggrin1:

I used to have one of those but my dinosaur stepped on it and broke it.

So this guy, a clingfish decided to jump into my surface skimmer which leads to an empty bio pellet chamber that I have just for the coolness factor and it is filled with brittle stars then it goes to the protein skimmer then to the algae trough and last but not least, the reverse UG filter. So he was stuck in the bio pellet chamber chamber which I designed so it could not be opened. So I had to take the entire thing apart while squirting water into it to keep the stupid fish alive. Now I have to re-design the surface skimmer to be clingfish proof even though in 15 or 20 years no other fish had decided to take this trip. I got him out and he seems fine but he doesn't care one bit how much work I had to do to take all this stuff apart.
