Put a bottle in your tank

Very cool @Paul B !

I have a Crystal skull vodka bottle I want to grow Cyphastrea on. Was thinking about filling the bottle with sand and sealing it then growing a toadstool leather on top like a hat.

People are making all kinds of cool stuff out of these bottles now!

The fact that people think this is cool and natural just shows how messed up the world is! Just because we pollute it doesn't mean its natural and that we should strive to or encourage others to do the same. Get a grip and give ya heads a wobble kids!

There are about 9 bottles in my 44 year old tank, so I guess it doesn't look natural.

Your entitled to your opinion, but there is no need to project them in such a way. There are many of us that have great respect for Paul B, and I personally enjoy the art he creates. Some people think outside the box and challenge others. Paul B is that type and love it. Please be kind to others.

No worries Paul, you have nothing to prove.

I just wanted to prove that I can grow hair. But I was mistaken.

It's a good thing I didn't mention the 1955 Oldsmobile fender I wanted to put in my tank.

Yeah I know, it's a curse. All the Ladies like reading my posts. I think it's the shine of my sexy bald head or my winning personality. I never thought that it could be the bottles in my tank, but it's a thought.

It is most definitely your 'sexy bald head or my winning personality' and then maybe the bottles!

I am putting my money on the bottles.

I just noticed everyone has all this cool stuff under their name and I got like "Old Bald Guy with a fish tank with bottles in it".
Helen, you have Excellence Award. Now I am impressed. Some people have "Staff Member" so I guess they have one of those shirts that say "Staff. Then there is "Article Contributor" That's cool. "Partner Member" I assume that means you are married. Then there is "Reef Squad" I can't even guess on that one.
I guess I have to speak more eloquently or type with my little finger up. I actually like the clean look under my name. It gives me more room.

Hi, Paul.

I always wondered if you did something to the bottles to prevent any slices to your fish. I am sure your fish would just heal themselves as healthy as they are. Now I know...

You are one of my idols. I am younger than you, balder than you and have no where near as much fish smarts as you...

I do have more grandkids! (yours are cute, though... I still think mine are cuter!)

Hope all is well with your wife (and your shoulder!)

Paul B · Dec 11, 2016

Hello John. It is snowing pretty hard here now and we just came back from dinner with friends. My shoulder is coming along and the Supermodel who is my therapist helps a lot. Even if she didn't help, who cares!
My wife has her issues as MS doesn't get better, it just gets worse but she is getting around as good as can be expected, thanks for asking.
You got to love Grand Kids.

LOL I can put something under your name, Paul.

No, it's OK. I like the wide open spaces and I wrote so many articles I forgot where I put them, but none specifically for this site. I wrote a book but I don't think that counts.
