What's up everyone? I've been gone for a bit, pretty busy with life in general. I'm going to go ahead and keep my 24 gallon nano for now and I'm selling my fully established 75gal running 3 years strong, so that I can eventually get a nice 300gal tank. Anyway, just drop me a line if you guys...

Not all of the women are overweight though. Some of them are just stupid and disregard obvious signs of pregnancy. This is just a simple example of how uneducated some people in this country are. Sorry abut the rant, but I was just reading some posts on another site about juggalos and...

I had this filter on my 75 gallon for 2 years along with a HOB Via Aqua Multi-Skimmer. I used the two carbon filters and I filled the media baskets with poly filter that I cut up to fit in the individual slots. It worked pretty well until I recently put in a Megaflow 3 sump to replace it.

I don't want to change the nozzles again though. Should I just get a bigger pump or do you think the pump I have is just not working as it should?

OK, so I popped off the existing return and was able to just pop on the new Y fitting with dual returns. They were actually the same size. I put in the RIO 6hf as well. Now the problem I have is that the flow from the nozzles is very weak. :(

Definitely a pretty fish.

I've made my own extra long feeding prongs out of bamboo skewers and I've used one to poke the bigger one a couple of times. I knew it wouldn't kill him, but I wanted to see if I was fast enough to hit him. Right now the plan is either this mini speargun or bamboo skewer with 2 straightened...

Originally Posted by Bulldog123 I would say they split for stress. I was trying to remove one of the peices by placing a ph on it and it split. The one did not move but I ended up with another I did not care to have. I think the main one splits because the hole it is in is just not big...

Originally Posted by spanko The grey pipe I believe is the stuff used on sprinkler systems. Don/t you have some lockline as that will work just fine. Yeah, I have the loc line. I actually have the dual returns assembled, now I just have to glue the y in place onto the stock return line which...
