    After having this filter for a few days, I can say the only noise this thing makes is the little dripping when the tank water level is a little low. I can ease back the flow rate and the noise goes away. With a full tank of water, flow on high, this thing is quiet. Now all i need is the LEDs...

    For my FW friends

    What is a cherry shrimp? Went to a LFS and saw they had quite a few of them in their tank. They looked really cool and kinda small. I was wondering if I got a pair of them if they would be ok in my daughter's tank. Her current inhabitants are: Micky Platty Neon Tetra Green Cory Cat Panda...

    Light question

    Looks like a 6 bulb T5 fixture. The bulbs should have a name brand on them as well as the fixture. I would consider replacing the bulbs since we dont know for sure how many hours of use are on them.

    HDTV to PC Connection

    Netflix allows you to watch what you want when you want aslong as you have an unlimited account. In about 2 years, netflix wont be dealing with DVD/Bluray discs. At that time, for rental purposes for me, all I will have access to is redboxes. As far as quality, if you have a decent video...

    HDTV to PC Connection

    It sounds like you want to use your laptop/PC as your cable box. An HDMI cable and maybe the audio cables is all that you would need. I get netflix through the Wii. I am also stuck with time warner for cable service.

    HDTV to PC Connection

    tv tuner card and the software is all you would really need. Unless you want to watch the laptop's output on the tv. Then all you need is an HDMI cable and wireless input devices. I play angry birds on my 55" every now and then.

    I Got Some New Zoo Frags.

    If you dont have a coral dip, you can always use freshwater at the same temp as the DT. I found that nudi that way.

    New stuff

    $40 is cheap really. I have seen zoos sell for $200 a head. Really nice looking zoos go for around $40 to $50 a frag in my LFS.

    My lighting

    I need to clean/fix the digital camera to take better shots of it with the better lights. The difference is really incredible. I havent been to the LFS to get new critters/corals in a long time. Now that I have better lights, I can start to look at the xpensive corals. As long as my water...
