I just stopped by the my local Radio Shack looking for something and found that they had First Alert portable GFCI (shock-buster type) on clearance for $2.97 down from $20. I bought all they had at MY radio shack, but in case some of you are still playing a foolish game of Russian Roulette by...

I haven't opened gifts yet, but let's hear about what we all got for Christmas for our tanks!

Does anyone know what the (average) PAR value is for the Coralife 20K 400w SE lamp?

So in the area I want to do some hunting this year, I can only use a muzzleloader, so I need to buy my first, as I don't really feel like getting arrested... I don't know much at all about them, I only own regular rifles. I'm trying to find out some info from real world owners. My neighbor...

Since the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, I thought I'd do something a little different today. Although this messageboard is worldwide, most of us are in the USA, so it should apply to most of us. Too many Americans fail to fully grasp what it means to live in this country, or...

After I upgraded to Internet Explorer 8, I noticed that several parts of the boards didn't look quite right. Things were not aligned properly. Also, the little popup menus when you click the search link or on someone's username were very slow to appear. Perhaps most annoying was that the...

I'm coming up on a lamp replacement on my reef tank. I've been using (3) XM 15K SE 250w lamps with no supplement. I've been somewhat disappointed with the light levels, I haven't used a meter or anything but it seems like I should be able to expect more light output. I'm looking at: 15K XM...

So I'm not sure where to put this thread... I want people to see it, and it's really not off the saltwater topic, so I didn't want to put it in the aquarium... well I guess if the mods find a better place for it than this, they'll move it. I thought it would be nice to get a roll call of...

Yeah so listen to this story... I have a DSL connection with a small mom-and-pop local ISP in Atlanta. I pay a bit more with them than I would with a big outfit like AT&T, but they do not care what I use my connection for, as I like to host servers and my web site with my connection, something...

This question gets asked a LOT so I'll post it here. Yes, you can use PVC pipe cement and the cleaning solvent for the pipes - often sold as "Oatey cement" on PVC plumbing used for fish tanks. See below pic. Once the product dries, it's perfectly safe for exposure to aquarium water. Apply...

Did anybody watch the pilot on Sunday and Monday nights? I'm a huge fan of the Terminator movies... but I had my doubts about this show... I just can't picture anyone but Linda Hamilton and Ahhhnold, but it actually looks kinda cool. Anyone else?

Thought I'd share this with everyone... I've got a 120g freshwater planted tank in my office at work. It's got a Co2 system on it, with a Mag 3 dedicated to powering the Co2 reactor. I've been on vacation, but stopping by every few days to feed the fish and top off the tank. The last time I...

Is email notification working or not? It stopped working a long time ago, then worked for a while, then stopped again and it's been that way ever since. I find it strange that I get emails when people leave PMs but not when my subscribed threads have been updated. I was wondering if it...

I've got a tank with 3/8" drilled tempered bottom. I am getting ready to finalize my bulkheads, and having never done this on a glass tank that I've cared about before, I don't know how hard I can tighten the locknuts without risking glass breakage. I've got them as tight as I can turn them...

Okay FINALLY I have time to sit down and do a thread on this. I know lots of you have asked when I'm gonna put a thread up about the system I'm planning that I keep mentioning. First, to be clear up front... this project has been going on since May. I didn't want to bore people with my slow...

Can someone tell me how long the power cord is on a Hydor Koralia powerhead?

I got my hands on a Lithonia 70W metal halide light fixture. It came equipped with a 4K bulb. Does anyone know how well this will work with a fuge? I was always under the impression that the lower kelvin rated bulbs will not work well for growing macroalgae, but someone on here once told me...

Does anyone know who makes the POS pump that comes with the JBJ 24g Nano? Mine burned up a bearing on the impeller. I replaced the whole pump with a Maxi Jet from my stash but if a new impeller was easy to find I figured it'd make a good 'nother spare to throw in the pile. The label says...

Am I the only one who is not getting any emails from their subscribed threads when people reply? It all of a sudden just stopped working for me a few days ago, but it doesn't seem to be my email. Is anyone else experiencing this?
