    Surplus military vehicles and the police...

    As much as I wish I could say I should rely upon the police protecting me, I can't. I have resigned myself to protect my family. If anything bad were ever to happen, it's my responsibility to care for myself and those around me. It doesn't matter if the police have tasers or tanks, so long as...

    Does anyone know anything about Colorado Springs?

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    P.S. It was my wife's birthday today, so this project definitely took a backseat. I waited until we hit a lull today and took an hour to get it running right. She wanted to help too. We actually all got into it. I have two small kids and they're so excited about this tank that I may get a 4g...

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    Got it in the mail on Friday at about 10:15AM. Immediately took it out and set it up... We're putting it in our bedroom on our dresser. I actually like that it backs up to our mirror because then I can see the back chambers a lot more easily! We went to a couple LFS's on Friday and I...

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    Turns out the seller gave me the wrong tracking number. It will be here tomorrow.

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    Well apparently it will be delivered tomorrow... but the tracking number says that it was never shipped. I talked to the store I bought it from and they definitely shipped it. Could be a glitch with FedEx. Only time will tell. If it doesn't come tomorrow, I'll go on the war path and track it...

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    I was reading some of the reviews on the Nuvo and apparently there's vinyl on the sides and back of the tank. I think I'll take it all off and spray paint it. I remember there being an aquarium-safe spray paint that I could use and I've done it before. I think it's appliance paint for...

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    Well I just checked the specs on the 115 and that's out... it's too big for the back.... BUT - I learned that Reef Octopus came out with a Nano Skimmer and it's like $40. A Reef Octopus for $40? I'm a little surprised. I checked it out and it seems legitimate. Youtube videos show that it's...

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    It's a 16g tank too... if it was a 29g, I'd get the Tunze... no question. But with 16g's, I may not need as elaborate a skimmer.

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    I am leaning that way, but saving $90 is really tempting. If I save an additional $10, then I can get the 10-pack of ricordeas from swf's site for $100..... ....and so the scale continues to oscillate!

    YOTN's Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g Reef

    Hello all, I haven't been on the forums in a while, primarily because I left the hobby. Well, after realizing that I am too much of a work-a-holic / dad-a-holic, I have decided to do something fun for myself. As of 45 minutes ago, I ordered my Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g along with some sand and...

    Goodbye California, Hello Colorado Springs

    Flower - sadly I do not keep a tank at the moment. Part of me is thankful because it will make moving a lot easier. I placed a deposit on a rental yesterday and we'll likely live there for a year before we buy a house. I think I want to buy some land actually. That may be the first big...

    Goodbye California, Hello Colorado Springs

    I know this may surprise some of you, but I work at a church. I am currently the "music director" at a 1,100 member church in Vacaville, CA. It's a good church and a good job, but I was ready to move on. There is a church in Colorado Springs who contacted me about a month ago and were very...

    This new IPad's super cool... What do I do with it?

    Whatever you do, make sure you get "FlightTack." It's $5 but totally worth it, especially on long flights. You load up all your flight info and it tracks you live, even without a wifi connection. really neat app!

    Goodbye California, Hello Colorado Springs

    I submitted my letter of resignation today. I'm leaving Vacaville, CA and moving to Colorado Springs mid-January. It's gonna be awesome. Does anyone know the best way there? I'm going U-Haul style. I was on google maps and apparently taking the 80 freeway puts me through the mountains. I am...

    Holy crap, I've been here since 2008?!

    I kept a hippo, juvi atlantic, and a yellow tang in my Red Sea Max. Only the hippo tang survived. That was what the tang police arrested me for. But I'm clean now, I promise! YearOf (Overstocking is expensive) TheNick
