So I continue to be plagued by bad luck, misfortune or kharma; not sure what. This time a drunk driver hit a pole outside my apartment complex and the power went out in my tank for about three hours while I was asleep. I noticed it in the morning but didn't realize how long it'd been out till I...

Good luck on the plumb job. Sorry to hear about your frogspawn. Hope he pulls through. I've had my torch kind of waver and he's always made it through in the long run.

I dunno if I'll be setting up my 40 soon, but I may pick it up in order to get started on my equipment for when I do get to set it up. Send me some pictures when you get a chance and we'll go from there.

yup...

thanks

Thank you :) the smaller cluster I've had since the second week of my tank so they are pulling the long haul so far. The other batch I got a few months ago

I think the orange and green ones are called whammin' watermelons, I have no idea what the orange and white ones are called.

As promised! Check out how great the frogspawn is doing, that was the one I won at the raffle :) Note to self; Just did a 2 gallon water change

I was reading up on this earlier, and its my understanding that they scrapped bush's anti missile plan for an updated anti missile plan. There's essentially no pulling out of Europe for a missile defense program, just a shift in the project design

Thanks, good tip!

Not yet, the flame has been super skittish. Hopefully he will be a bit more photogenic soon. I'll post a FTS when I get a chance either way
