Fire fighter/ real estate The city pay for my insurance and pension, and they let me be a fireman, and give me money. I work a 24hr on/48hr off shift. On my two days off I am free to pursue any capitalistic notion that I can dream up.

I use two of them. I built a plixiglass enclosure for them with a twenty dollar fan from radio shack that keeps them cool. Instead of the RS fan, go to your local appliance repair shop as ask for a fan motor from a broken microwave. They'll probably give it to you.

Sounds like I'm not the only one that itemizes..EH Bang? I think that you should have to have spent at least two years in the military and have at least been employed for two consecutive years to vote/ or military and college. I hadn't a clue at 18, nor at 20, but I had as much say as my dad at...

lotsa luck bud! I'm sweating nickles, here in Sav, Ga. If it get's me, here'e my plan: 1. My wife and kids live. 2. I live. 3. My house and stuff can keep my wife and kids alive. .... fish. If I get grazed, and lose poewr for a few days, a big cooler with a power head should keep some. it...

I am so sick of the anti-smoking Nazis:mad: . Now it seems that not only should I have my kids taken away if I smoke within their sight, but I can't, in good conscience, keep fish either. Give me a break. Mind you own damn business..."just some food of thought".

try the yellow pages under plastics, manufacturers. or plastics, distributors. It will be a lot cheaper than paying shipping

I bought a peice of acropora from here last week, and it doesn't "do" anything. Should it "open" or does it naturally look like a rock? I haven't seen any sign of life at all. thanks. Shoot more, shoot more often. Rangermonroe

I use a 13watt PC and have great success with my macro's

23' long wooden I beams? Are these manufactured or home-made? If manu, that the manufacturer should have that info, also the local community college construction "professor" might be able to help. You could also ask your local building inspector.

Jag, Golfish is right, 6.5 k will give you good growth, but IMO seem very yellow/green. I used an Iwasaki 250, but ran actinic with it for asthetic reasons. I now use a 10k xm and am happy therewith. I would go with the 250 watts over the 175. I don't believe that the setup cost is...

I think that two bulbs is enough. If you use three, then you have a hot shelf in the middle with a shadow under neath it, and the whole point of having more light is lost...but hell, I have another 2.1 watts per gallon. What i disagree withis the fact that we "need" 1 bulb for 2 feet of tank...

I can't disagree with you? This is what I am saying... If you have a center brace, (esspeciallly if you stack stuff like I do) than the center bulb is irrelevant. Yeah, I have a shadow. It may be from the misising 250K, but I'm guessing that the can of flake may have some input(or output .

I disa gree with golfish on this one, I think that two bulbs is sufficient. If your tank is like mine, it has a center brace which will reflect a lot of light from the center bulb, not to menytion if you keep your junk on it like I do mine. Yeah, there is a small area of "shadow"...I keep my...

I have that in my tank, but purple, Kinda cool.

What are you going to use THIS fishing pole for? Marlin or sunfish? The same pole will not work for both. If you are fishing for bass...then one kind of combo will work for several species, but if you are going offshore to fish for snapper on an oil rig...leave the light weight stuff at home.

Recentely I posted a thread here that questioned the use of zeolite to reduce phosphate in marine aquariums. I bought a tub which claimed that it was safe for them, but I wanted a second opinion. Also I was curious if this was just another snake oil type of fix. Having gotten no definitive...

Yeah they do , but I'm just gonna dump a in quart or two and see if that fixes the problem I dosed a teaspoon the other day( the recommended ammounnt for my tank) , but normally I don't because I believe that monst if not all of the minerals and stuff should be present in the salt mix. With...

my lfs doesnt even sell them. I think that I'll monitor the situation for a little while. I have several other shrimp in there and I'll get worried if they start croaking. Thanks for the input H'onreefs

Kaiser, I just re-read your post, and for a 29 gallon tank, the Lowes model would work fine, but if you were to upgrade in the near future, you would find the limited capacity restrictive, but I believe that the RO membranes are interchangeable (so I've been told).

I have one from lowes and I hate it. I spent almost $200 and get 9 gallon/day. I have a 135 so it takes me 2 days to get enough water to do a 10% h2o change. I belive that this site sells a Kent brand that will do about 25 /day for about the same $. I'm not saying that a hardware store type...
