    ......hi!

    Funny, just thinking about Jenny and Tobin the other day. I often think about those silly threads Tobin would do with the rabbit (I think it was a rabbit?) taking care of his tank. Thats why I checked in to see who was about... Meowzer, I think I remember you? Not as a Mod though Congrats!

    Help me decide on my next dog purchase (breed list)

    Stick with the Akitas! Best dogs ever! I have 2 from a fantastic breeder here in Colorado if you want a good reference. Yep, mean vicious dogs! Lets say this all together, "Breeds aren't mean, Its all owner stupidity!"

We waited a couple of minutes for a table, no big deal. We're sitting there waiting for our food when in walks a couple guys with...

    Ordered a 2010 Camaro!

    LOVE that Chevy orange! The gray will be cool too. What tranny did you get? What are the options (auto, manual)? Can you disable the traction control? My Charger is about the same HP and tq (425 420) but weighs about 2 tons. I put an Air-raid w/ hood scoop intake and lost the resonator exhaust...

    Is this as good a deal for lighting as it sounds??

    It only has one 250? 442 watts vs 216w or if you went 6x54w T-5 324w. You will still use less than the MH. Now will you see a huge difference in your bill? Don't know?

    55 gallon

    You will need more filtration. Base line minium flow is around 10x (550gph). More flow and the use of a good skimmer will go a long way. BTW, if you are considering a 55, I would seriously think about going up to a 75. The added 6" front to back is great to have when aquascaping. I had a 55 and...
