Anybody have a Salt Water Fish Tank?

They are scientifically proven to be therapeutic to your brain. Watching for for a few minutes relaxes people... even if they are super tense or upset. Ever wonder why you see tanks set up in doctor's offices and hospitals? Now you have the answer.

I have had a tank in my room or house since I was 6 years old. Back then I lived in Hawaii, so I'd catch all my fish in the tide pools. I did my water changes with ocean water by carrying a 5 gallon bucket on each side of my handlebars on my bike (early 70s). The equipment available today hadn't even been invented yet. Anyway, I cannot imagine not having a tank in the house... it's a necessity for me.

Through the years, every fish keeper goes through major loss. It just happens. When that happens to a lot of fish keepers... they just get out of the hobby and I can understand the reasons. The thing is... it happens to everyone, even the most experienced keepers go through it. When it happens to me, I will completely change the fish and other animals... it's helpful and gives you something new to take care of. Before all of the community fish I now keep, I had a grouper that grew to be 30 pounds. I had to get rid of it because it was strong enough to break my glass in my 300 gallon. I had to kill that beast to get it out without breaking the glass.

I can't live without one.
I miss mine A LOT!

Have wanted to do it again but prior to retirement, would spend 8 months in PA and 4 months in SW FLA. Now that I'm here practically year round, I may do it again. But the issue is getting someone to feed them when I take trips.

Yes, the affects of the therapy are wonderful.

Funny, I started with fresh water and had a room full of tanks. I would go in there and sit on the couch and just RELAX.

LEGEND The "Last Thing I Bought" Thread

My son just ordered me this Mini PC. Attaches to the back of a standard monitor, comes with a 1 terabyte hard drive, WiFi, Blue Tooth, 4k display, dual HDMI, and is fast. It does more than my big ole tower and cost about $250. I just ordered an amp for it for $40 so I can power my bookshelf Klipsch speakers with it. Stupid small. View attachment 74590
Got one of these for the big screen, to stream stuff that Roku doesn't....

'cept my hate for Windows runs so deep, planning to build Linux on it soon..

Let the hate flow. .. :laugh2:

UFOs

It MIGHT be that he's expressing his own personal opinion that he thinks we've been visited by aliens, but he can't claim that he's seen DEFINITIVE proof of it. Again, I'd like to hear him explain it more thoroughly.
Well love or hate him he is intelligent. I don't read him as the kind of dude who says things without thought. He's too smart for that, I think he understands that what he says has impact.

But don't want to make this about Obama. I just find the timing of it very funny, seeing how there's so many rumors going that they're planning a Roswell birthday speech (8th July).

Hope we get to hear the truth though. Seems like it's the right time to do it. Though it'll probably be a speech about swamp gas. :laugh2:

The Official ROD Football (Soccer) Thread

Firming up our world cup plans. We were not successful in the scotland supporters club ticket process (they allocate on loyalty points and I never miss a home game but rarely get to away games so I didnt have enough). We also were not successful in the general ballot. Hopefully we can pick up tickets on the resale market nearer the time.

I have booked tickets for the texas rangers at the red Sox though for the day after Scotlands opening match. That will be fun too.

The St. Louis Cardinals MegaThread.

Brendan Donovan has been dealt to the Seattle Mariners in a three-team trade including the Tampa Bay Rays for a top-100 prospect (Jurrangelo Cijntje - pronounced "Sain-juh, Mariners"), an outfielder who could be a top-100 prospect if he cuts down on the swing-and-miss (Tai Peete, Mariners), a fourth outfielder with decent speed (Colton Ledbetter, Rays) and two Comp B. picks from both the Mariners and Rays (projected at #68 and #72).

I love this trade as a Cardinals fan. Now do JoJo Romero and one of our catchers, see what else you can get, Bloom!

Acts of Kindness Thread

Another act of kindness, this time from Marine Lance Corporal Myles Kerr.

Marine Finishes Race with Young Boy

Lance Corporal Myles Kerr finished a race with a nine-year-old boy named Boden Fuchs who had been separated from his group. Boden asked Lance Corporal Kerr if he could run with him. He could've finished the race with his fellow Marines...but he chose to finish with the boy, encouraging him and running with him, and they ended up finishing the race in under thirty-five minutes.

I feel that it reflects well on Lance Corporal Kerr and young Boden - that Kerr viewed it as, in his own quote, "the right thing to do", and Boden for wanting to push through and finish the race instead of giving up.

Good on everyone involved, and it shows that even the smallest things end up mattering the most in the end.

OFFICIAL 2025 NFL News: Trades, cuts, free agency, and more

Ya know I get it that we needed Tutu for his speed & downfield threat skills. He actually does catch the ball when he's targeted & has decent hands, so he certainly does have value.
But... anyone catch Whittington on this play? as he catches up to Puka to throw a block?? :explode1:

I was at that game, same view as the video. I thought for sure he was tackled before he broke loose. Very exciting moment for my Grandson and myself.
