More or less the same here Paul. I get fed up with the doubters but I shouldn't really as most have been indoctrinate with the "must dos" churned out time and time again. If I post about my methods Usually when asked to explain something or in response to a question I tend to get ignored these days. I would like to get tbe odd your wrong comnent or am an idiot etc but I don't even get them anymore. I used to get things like yeah OK well lets see pic's of your tank then. I would post my tank pic's and that would kill the discussion with me for some reason, I will leave you to guess why. All I will add is the people who know all, have ologies etc have a lot to answer for in this hobby.No TheHarold. Science is just going to have to do their own tests as I am to old, cranky and busy to start another tank.
My fish have been immune for decades and they remain to be immune. I have documented many times the fish I add with parasites and have been writing about this even before computers when I wrote it in magazines. People will always doubt me and my methods but I am not here to prove anything. If anyone wants to know how to get their fish immune and not be bothered by these silly diseases, they can read what I have been writing or come to my house and see for themselves. I am tired of arguing and just happy to see my healthy, disease free fish. This week I added 4 fish, parasites and all. I love it.
An old Hagen Aquaclear Paul.I would like to get another circulation pump because this tank is bigger than my last one but I don't like what I see. I really don't like Korilia's because they are really cheaply made and get covered in growth to fast. I like the Gyre's but they are all programmable and I don't want to or have no idea why you would want to program a pump. I want to plug it in and it goes on and lasts for 25 years with no maintenance so I can leave it alone and go to the Caribbean or Tahiti and not think about it. My original pumps were like that and were not made in China. I have 4 or 5 Korilias and I am tired of cleaning them. I only have 2 of my original pumps still working and I think they still sell them so I may get another but I would like more flow.
I think I will have to look into antiques some place to get what I want.
This one connected to my vintage surface skimmer is probably over 30 years old and after running 24/7 all those years still works flawlessly.

Another good thing about the old American made stuff, you could often fix it if it did break. Remember when you could fix your own TV sets? Open up the back, pull your vacuum tubes and head down to the local convenience store and use their tube tester yourself to locate the bad tube. Buy a replacement, plug it in and be back watching TV in a couple hours. And cars - when you didn't need a computer to tell you what was wrong or to marry new components to the main brain, so it would be "recognized." Some cars you can't even put a mirror on nowadays, without programming the darned computer.I will look into it. I miss the days when everything in America was made in America and the stuff made in China was used in China. When pumps were built like battleships out of cast iron, wood and cement. When Men were not Snowflakes and women appreciated it when real men opened doors for them and gave them a seat in a subway. Of course if you live in Bangladesh, it is hard to find a subway so men there give women scooter bleenies or pressure cookers.
I appreciate the stuff from China is decent and very cheap, but I am not looking for decent and cheap. I don't care what it costs because a good pump will live longer than I will and I have a box of Chinese pumps that are no longer in fixable condition. Every time I do or build something I make it to last forever.
My fish live forever because I figured out the secret, living a few months or getting a silly disease is not an option and my fish know that.
I still have American tools in my workshop that were my Dad's and he died over 60 years ago. They will never break.
Last week I bought a stud finder in Home Depot. No, it doesn't point to me. But you know what else it doesn't point to? Studs. It beeps, lights up, shakes and kills the batteries but it can't find a stud. My old one croaked after many years and many times dropping it off an 8' ladder, this one didn't work out of the package.
AS you know, I also like to rant but I just baked a beautiful batch of blueberry, banana muffins and my Supermodel wife is getting up so we can eat.
(yes Real Men can bake, we can do a lot of things because we are not snowflakes)
