You know around here, if you have x's on your hands you can't drink in the bar. LOL, kick some butt over there and come home safe.

nick-also just a little histoy, back in the early 80's when the punk rock movement was gaining steam, several bands had a different philosphy on life, basically no drugs/drinking/smoking/casual ---. in order for underage kids to go to these shows, they had to have black x's on their hands. this in turn became the symbol of the straight edge movement. the band minor threat was the first to actaully coin the name straight edge in the song well called straight edge
so SXE, its straight X edge
hXc, hard X core
hxcpnk- i didnt know the drummer from the hope conspiracy was over here. i did run into another hxc kid up in tikrit. im trying to remember where the hope conspiracy was from. im pretty sure i saw them up in dc a few times, but the sand and sun has fried my brain though.

Here is my 75g, just setup. The lights went in day before yesterday! Still cloudy, and empty other than sand. It won't stay so boring for too much longer! :joy:

Thanks. I finished the transition from my 29g to the 75 in October. It has taken a few months for things to start settling in. I had some real issues in the beginning but things finally seem to have recovered. Why are you planning to do FOWLR? It looks like you already have some pretty good lighting.
