Tank birthday, 47+ years

[Paul B]

So I went to 2 LFSs this morning, and each one had nothing. I mean like Nothing, Nada, Zilch. I asked the owner, whom I have known for the fifty years the store has been there, and he said, " It seems the fish come through Dubai. And due to the war, the airports there are closed, so no fish.

Oh dear. That's not so good.

I wouldn’t have thought Dubai. But what do I know.

 

[Paul B]

I wouldn't have thought Dubai either. He said it' s some sort of hub. What do I know?

Well now you know it's some sort of a hug for fish imports.
Usually offload and put on another plane to continue it's journey.

A week or two ago I added a small Royal Gramma from Petco. I couldn't find him and figured he croaked or jumped out.

Today while looking for one of my Red Waspfish, I see him in a cave in the back all happy and healthy.

They come from deep water and normally live in caves.

Paul, buy another and they should pair as I have. I once kept 4 of them together over 9 years ago before I broke the tank down to move house.

I know a few people whom fit that description.

 

[Paul B]

Atoll, my friend. I have always kept Royal Grammas and if I felt like searching through my early log book, I would probably see some I had in the 70s.

I was all day taking a Tank apart . I want to use the panes to have baffles cut for a Sump . If you ever have to don't even think about saving the rims . I could not believe the tolerances and the silicon should be illegal to use . I only posted this because I was pleasantly surprised as to how well my wife has progressed learning how to work WITH another person after 40 something years she actually listens . I could only get away with this here , and if she ever new I would be a sobbing bloody mess laying in the Corner

Went to Llandudno here in North Wales UK yesterday as we do several times a year. Walk along the pier to my favourite little arcade selling sea shells. 3 clumps of barnacle shells cost me just £10. I do get a discount as a regular customer .

There is no finer decoration for a marine tank after living rock than these shells. They have so many advantages over other forms of decoration. If your ever in Llandudno be sure to check them out.

Funny guy . The bottom pane is tempered and i 4 feet by 20 inches by 18 inches . I will ship it to you and you can make a coffee table out of it . That would match the style your generation used to have

We only go 3 or 4 times a year. We won't go for a couple of months now. They don't have a lot of these at a time and as they are scrapped of the bottom of boats. I would have thought they would be available in the USA etc.
Look here.
