    Times are tough, but this is rediculous...

    My father in law lives in San Antonio, they've been having a lot of problems with those same thefts - condensers and catalytic converters. They enacted new laws to combat it, one of which is scrap metal and recycling centers can't accept any condenser parts without an AC service report showing...

    MH's won't fire for more than a minute

    OK, well through nothing but persistence I was able to get both bulbs to stay lit. Haven't tried shutting down, cooling off, and re-firing yet. Is my experience typical?

    MH's won't fire for more than a minute

    I just bought 2 new 10K 175W Ushio bulbs. I am trying to fire them with Advance ballasts, but can't do so with any regularity. They will fire for about a minute, and then tend to shut down. I tried swapping bulbs around, rewiring the ballasts, plugging into another circuit, but no luck. I was...

    Shedd Aquarium

    I can't believe I've lived here a year already and haven't been there yet! And it's been high on my list for a long time, I've heard such great things.

    some picture of my tank..

    I agree! When the first pic opened I uttered an uncontrolled Wow. What kinds of lighting produced those colors? Were the photos edited?

    corals from this site???

    No corals, but I recently bought 2 ricordea's that came through just fine. Also bought one of the reef packages and 2 cleaner shrimp, I lost 1 hermit crab in transit, no other problems at all. They were well packaged.

    Tattoos

    These five that you've posted, have the clients come to you with the design already completed or do they make it a joint effort with you? And, do certain colors have a tendancy to fade more than others?

    Diy chiller help

    That would work but it's a terrible waste of fresh water and technically is illegal in many jurisdictions, for that very reason. Not that you'd be caught by a building inspector but...

    Check This Guy Out:)

    Originally posted by Magic_Carp um thats called CAMO... Big time camo. It's really easy to overlook the fish in the tank they keep it in. It blends right in with the corals on display, every time I visit I forget too and get wowwed when I see it.

    All you DYIers out there come help me with building a canopy for my 46 gallon bow.

    I bought some 10,000K 175's from a member here, waiting for them to arrive... I'm going to supplement them with 2 96W PC actinics I currently have on the tank. I'm hoping that will get enough light to the bottom of the tank for a clam at some point.

    Cant locate specific species of puffer.....

    Well Aysiana, to try to make up for my worthless, yet funny, earlier post. I'm certainly not an expert but in your quarantine tank you'll also need some mechanism of aerating the water. I don't think you automatically medicate your fish when purchasing. The quarantine is to monitor and make sure...

    All you DYIers out there come help me with building a canopy for my 46 gallon bow.

    Hey Flatboyz, I'm working on the same project! Got home from Home Depot tonight with my first batch of materials. I am trying for a slightly different exterior skin look, I'm going to try to build a 1/4" framework with a thin wood ******** (1/8"), and an exterior of black acrylic. If it works...

    CPR BAKPAK skimmer

    Do you know which model MJ? I have the Rio on mine, another Rio I had for circulation just crapped out on me. Luckily didn't blow in my tank, but I think I caught it just before, sounded terrible. So I'm hesitant to wait for the Rio on my skimmer to go too. Thanks
