    overflow, sump,and pump

    First, you would need to determine how much headloss you're going to have, ... pumps lose GPH as they pump up vertically so figure out how much this is, accounting for any bends (Which can further reduce GPH) from where the pump is to the re-entry point in the tank. "Head" is the height the...

    cutting glass

    This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but typically on tanks up around 50g and larger, only the bottom is tempered. As stated, always check with the manufacturer first because if you start drilling tempered glass, it's game over man!

    All-black longnose b'fly?

    Snapped this pic of these two about a month ago off the coast of Hawaii and as you can see, one of the longnose butterfly fish is all black ... So what's the deal with this guy? I've never heard of an all-black longnose.

    Just saw this bumber sticker!!!

    Going back to the original post about bumperstickers, I did see an interesting (and to me, amusing) one a while ago: "If you're not willing to stand behind our troops ... feel free to stand in front of them."

    TOP 5 MOST FUNNY and UNFUNNY STAND UP COMICS!

    Back around 1993-94, saw John Stewart (Of The Daily Show fame) at the Improv in San Diego. I hurt for three days afterwards from laughing so hard. Interestingly, his persona back then was much different than suit-n-tie image of The Daily Show anchor ... blue-jeans and leather jacket, looked...

    Read an article in a fish-keeping magazine about a facility that had some tanks and their efforts to maintain them during a power outage. One method was to rig a redumentary two-prop attachment on a rod, which was then chucked into a battery powered hand drill, and the water aggitated...

    Has anybody seen those comedy roasts on Comedy Central?

    Saw the Shatner roast. Incredibly funny, but it seems like the majority of the jokes were at the expense of the other roasters and not the honoree. And while I'm not prude and enjoy a good raunchy joke, seemed like that was the theme ... the cruder, the better. Could have been just as funny...
