    favorite ice cream flavor...

    What...?! No one else -- from this forum, of ALL forums -- is a fan of Ben & Jerry's "Phish Food?" You've got to be kidding -- that's the best flavor ever invented, IMO. Smooth chocolate ice cream generously swirled with rich carmel and marshmallow cream with little chunks of fish-shaped...

    Where do you all get your styrofoam boxes?

    Google "insulated shipping boxes" and you'll find several on-line retailers that sell them. Look around, as some are much more expensive (i.e. those for medical supplies) than others. Just be sure the thickness of the styrofoam is what you want before you buy, so you don't get stuck with some...

    What do you hate?

    People who talk (or type) just to hear themselves speak. Double jeopardy if they are stupid or ignorant. Rnnt! KH

    Snowflake eel missing lower jaw

    I'm sure it wasn't intentional (given their poor eye sight), but I'd bet the chainlink mistook him for a snack. Have you tried to feed him to see if he'll take food? If he'll eat, he may heal and be okay with time. KH

    I think this is wrong.

    "...the child will stay in almost complete isolation at the temple..." --and-- "The girls often struggle to readjust to normal lives after they return home." Ummm, gee, do you think? The poor, poor, child. What a terrible, lonely life for a little one. This child is only 3? This is...

    LARGE Plywood Tank Build

    Impressive build. Now that I'm caught up on the tank portion, I think we're all equally as excited to see your sumps come together, Bronco. What are your plans, anyway? Very cool either way. KH

    Palin/Biden

    Yeah, but at least it's more convincingly his script. Look... Palin went out there last night and didn't make a fool of herself, as many people thought she would. As others have said, she spoke well (if you can get past the Mayberry-isms) and had a good, confident stage presence. I don't...

    (World Record)Worlds Largest Fish

    Actually, N00b, that fish :06 and about :12 seconds from the end -- the one with the huge teeth -- is really a fish. I think they're called something Tigerfish. African species, I think. The best part is, is that they're basically the world largest species of... tetra (characin). Honest...

    why buy frags buy my tank

    This is really sad to read. I -- like countless others -- that really enjoyed looking at your threads and pix over the past few years, Murph. Are you SUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE you can't/don't want to take the tank with you when you move? Besides the obvious monetary investment, you've got countless...

    I think my fish is dieing?

    Sorry about your eel. It doesn't sound good. Are you missing any fish or inverts that could be causing the bulge? You might get a better response if you post your question with all relevant details in the Diseases forum. Good luck. KH

    Sump Build: Traditional Tank vs. Rubbermaid?

    Thanks for the additional replies, guys. Addicted4Life: I had considered the possibility of building an acrylic sump from scratch, but for the purposes of this thread (at least when it started), I was thinking of a sump of the pre-made variety. But when you really think about it, no sump -- if...

    Sump Build: Traditional Tank vs. Rubbermaid?

    Wow... that took a while to digest! Kidding -- I've not been following this for a few weeks due to lingering computer issues.Anyway, reefkprZ, amazing diagram. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear I wasn't losing my mind to a silly brainstorm -- that someone far more knowledgeable (both...
