As an aquarist who physically cannot do a three gallon water change (such a small tank), it is very tempting at times to mix a large quantity of water (5-7 gallons) and store it for weeks worth of water changes. You can browse online to find discussions on this very topic with widely varying...

Has anyone been to the Newport Aquarium? What was it like. I was wanting to go to an aquarium soon and can't decide between this and Shedds. On one hand Shedds is amazing, but on the other hand I've been there several times. They are the same distance away.

I have been thinking about ATO and how devastating it can be when they fail. So then I started to wonder, what about adding three or four float valves? Of course I would never do this to my tank, but in a very large aquarium with a very large reserve, this would be a fantastic idea. That way if...

I will begin by accrediting beaslbob for the original idea. His analogy involved galloping elephants, which were used as a general unit of measure. At first Galloping Elephants were used to represent levels that we wish to reach 0 (nitrates, phosphates, ammonia, nitrites...). Or in other words...

I have a few reefkeeping books and was checking out some from the library today. I found one from 1996 and it was actually pretty good. The opening portion explained how the hobby evolves. The book explains that keeping a reef aquarium with a total WATER volume of less than 20 gallons is not...

I will begin by accrediting beaslbob for the original idea. His analogy involved galloping elephants, which were used as a general unit of measure. They can be easily replaced with other elements/molecules/levels in the aquarium. Specifically those that we wish to reach 0 (nitrates, phosphates...

I am swimming in uncertainty and possibilities. I am literally just starting. I haven't made any decisions yet. Since I have never done a tank this small and since it has been a long time since I've started a tank, I have a lot of research to do and decisions to make. I also need to drive around...

Hey guys. It's been quite a while since I have asked a question on here. But I am completely psyched to be doing so now. So I have been without tank for a long time and I am having serious withdrawals. So I want to start a nano tank. I have been thinking freshwater for a long time, but now I am...

I read an interesting article today. http://cosmos.asu.edu/publications/reviews/sci_am_2.pdf I don't expect you to read it, but if you're into this kind of thing, it's interesting. But it should be taken with a grain of salt. What do you guys think? Do you think time travel is possible? If you...

All right, I have a small problem. I work at a summer camp and I need to come up with, among hundreds of other things, awards for my areas. If you know nothing about knots, that's fine this problem has little to do with that. I am really good with knots, but need help thinking laterally. I want...

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/14/santorum-says-puerto-rico-must-adopt-english-for-statehood/ I couldn't find the results of this poll, but I remember it being 51% for no and 49% for yes, which I found to be a bit surprising. I know I've been gone for quite some time and I have...

How many of you guys are fans? I got it today (for free) and beat it. I'm not bragging about that because it isn't a particularly long or difficult game, but I thought it was great.

I know that there are a million threads about this floating around out there, but this one is different in one regard. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2011/04/05/world%E2%80%99s-2nd-deadliest-poison-in-an-aquarium-store-near-you/ This man got sick from inhaling some of the...

I read a statistic today that absolutely blew my mind. I fact checked it too. More than 40% of Americans do not believe in evolution and furthermore believe that the earth's age is measured in thousands of years rather than thousands of millions of years. I don't understand how, with the...

It's been a long time... I was sitting here when I remembered that it has been a very long time since I have posted anything on here. Things have changed quite a bit. I wanted to post but didn't know what to post, so I decided to start a Donnie Darko thread. I haven't watched this movie in a...
