there was a massive killer kodiak bear a few years back, that killed at least 3 campers. when they finally took it down with a hunting rifle, the body was peppered with lots of slugs from 9mm, .40 cal and .45 ! there is a bunch of really gruesome shots of the bear, and the victims floating...

i dont think lines will do well in multiples, especially in a small tank, they are pretty pushy. this is referring to some fairy wrasses. i would not even bother with schools in a 29...

ah i am learning quickly the joys of being a home owner! as for the pumps / schematic on the last page, i am concerned that i am going to have a syphon once i start a pump, so maybe i should just keep it syphoned and put some ball / gate valves on ?

i would say 20 bucks for a zip locked sandwich bag.
