Tank birthday, 47+ years

[Paul B]

My Grand Kids live there so I have to go in about once or twice a year. I know there are 8,000,000 people living there and I still can't believe people live there "on purpose" if they don't have to. I worked there all my life and just don't get it as there are so many much nicer places to live like Beirut, or Somalia, even one of the moons of Saturn.

I hope for your sake its not bryopsis. That stuff is extremely tuff. Even a pressure washer wont get it. I wonder if hydrogen peroxide would disolve it? I am sure Randy would know.

Fluconazole is almost magic against Bryopsis. It interferes with the cell walls somehow and takes it out quickly with almost no ill effects on the rest of the tank, except any fungi of course. It isn't nearly as good as a general algaecide though. It does sort of work but more slowly. Paul's algae doesn't look like any Bryopsis I've seen but then it just needs a similar cell structure.

I'm not sure if it is some type of broypsis. I have never seen this type of macro before, and as I said, it may be from the sea here, although I have also never seen it in the sea.

It definitely looks unlike anything I've seen in person or pics in this hobby.

If you think of it next time you're there can you get a super-zoomed closeup pic?

This morning at the beach.

Wow!

Very bad night. My wife, Dale got that horrible pain back in her mouth.
Trigeminal Neuralga. Then at 2:00 am she fell on the floor.

Not good at all. I will call her Dr. as soon as the office opens. The last procedure she had didn't last long at all.

I'm sorry to hear that Paul. I sure wish that they could find a cure for MS.

 

[smitten with ocean life]

im so sorry. will be praying for you both

 

[Paul B]

She is better this morning. I spoke to her Dr. and we will wait to see if it returns. I just hope it doesn't return on the weekend when I can't do anything. This is an ongoing horrible roller coaster.

Hoping it was just a one off occurance and there is no repeat.
