    My 55 gallon adventure

    Parameters look good. I am not sure you can put them all in a 10 gallon, but I would put up some dividers if you do. I seen your firefish name and should have gotten one instead of my 6 line. Hopefully your 6 does not have the same attitude mine does. Maybe you are just paranoid and everyone is...

    High School

    My 5 years of high school were fun I think. LOL. I did good until my parents divorced when I was 17 and I turned into a rebel. I didnt fit in any group and hung around many different groups. Our city and county high schools combined at that same time, basically a desegregation with lots of...

    High School

    Seth you have written an extreme amount of knowledge on this site. I can not thank you enough for that. I heard it throughout all my mistakes in life but I have to learn the hard way. I still wouldnt call myself successful but my only bills are household and my truck but life is good and I have...

    The Top 40.................

    I have paid almost $5000 in fed tax and over $2000 in state taxes so far this year. I am a LONGGG way from the $250K that is considered rich. How much do you think I will get back on my taxes? How much do you think the government makes on interest on our taxation? If I dont have to pay in I will...

    Cathey's 55 gallon dream... my first tank

    There are 3 different types of peppermint shrimp. Only one eats aptasia and I can find the link to it now. It is great that your husband is involved. Take this slowly and do lots of research to stay successful in this great hobby. Most important, have fun enjoying with family.

    Where do you keep yer jugs??

    Ive been looking at a stage 4 unit. You know I research like crazy and have told my wife about all the benefits it offers. I need to get a TDS meter and do some testing first but I want a unit to eliminate the hauling of cases and jugs if possible.

    Women who are legitimately raped, won't get pregnant

    Texas and South Florida are not "the south". There are Texicans in San Antonio and South Florida is mostly North Cuba and relocated New Yorkers. I live 30 miles from the Florida line and 60 miles from the Atlantic in the deep south in the Bible Belt of Georgia. Too many people think of rednecks...

    Georgia Aquarium

    My visit to the GA aquarium was the main reason I got a tank. It is amazing and I will visit it again. My family enjoyed it as much as I did. My avatar was taken there also, the dolphin staying there with my daughter was worth the trip.

    High School

    JP I did not know you were THAT young. Our local magnet school shut down a few years ago even though it was a great school. It pushed the students to a much higher level but got funding cut. I hope you had a great first day. Like I have told Seth, education will pay you back. Teachers have an...

    Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

    Ill try to behave. This subject could get out if hand quickly. I believe what I believe, nobody will ever change that. The universe didnt start with a bang and life was created. I do believe there is more to this single planet than anyone knows, much less the rest of our universe(or others)...

    Sweat's journey begins

    My tank is not covered. Ive been saying that Im going to get some eggcrate but that isnt really what I want. I should probably do that until I can build a net covering though. The fish seem to be getting along better. The wrasse hangs out with the clowns a lot. Finally reread Southern Wolfs...

    Sweat's journey begins

    I had another stupid moment this morning. When I checked on the tank this morning it looked like my shrimp had got caught in the powerhead and died. I pulled it out with a net and felt sad for about 15 minutes wondering how and why that happened. Then I seen it and realized it had molted, DOH...

    The Top 40.................

    Flower I understand what you are saying. Im not saying to eliminate all government assistance. People need help with the ridiculous prices of healthcare but I dont think the government can manage to handle something this costly without extreme amounts of waste. I also think it will cost you and...

    Cathey's 55 gallon dream... my first tank

    I am very new to this hobby also. My tank has been running for about 3 months. I only have one powerhead rated at 1200 gph, so I think you better than me in that area. I bought a cheap 4 bulb T5HO 216watt light fixture from the auction site. It is working good for me. Dont worry about PH too...

The photos are in a very old album and Im scared to try to remove them. Can I take a picture with my camera of them and...
