It's not... I bought the fish before researching. I know.... I know....As soon as I got home, (full of excitement) I looked it up and the words that jumped out at me were "a fish to avoid" I was bumed out!! After reading a few hundred posts regarding MI and finding out that the survival rate is slim to none, I have decided that I would not return it to LFS but would take care of it the best I can. It seems to be happy and eats really good. A lesson learned. I will enjoy him/her as long as it is with me.

Yes, but it also causes another problem and that is it makes the garage really humid, not a bad thing in the winter...but not good in the summer.
So I'm going to install an exhaust fan near the tank to draw the humid air out.
Fortunatley like a basement, the garage is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
I would see if you can design it so that you have a hood over your tank...that goes to an exhaust fan... By drawing the air out over you tank will create an awsome cooling effect that would most likely save you on a chiller.

Yeah I see what you mean sounds like it would cause a serious amount of evaporation.
I wonder if I was able to isolate it from the garage and still keep it in the garage I guess what I am saying is basically loose a lil bit of the garage and make a small room so that it gets the benefit of the inside of the house with out taking up too much space in it, but giving me complete access to the tank from the back side. It will be an interesting challenge.

tank looks awesome.but i have a burning question in my mind.how come it is that pitbull can ask where sw65 got the idol,and "if it is from a competitor of this site"can he email him where he got it?i did this exact same thing,posted a pic of something and then someone asked where i got it,posted their email and then we get told to basically keep our mouths shut when it comes to competitors.then,5 minutes later the whole post gets erased like it never existed?kinda seems unfair and partial to me.no wait a minute,not kinda,how about totally and completely unfair and partial?no offense meant to pitbull and sw65 though.i understand what ya'll are doing.just wondering where the fair play comes around with the certain mod who cut me completely out............

The mods are volunteers, and do this in thier spare time. They don't always see every thread. They'll probably nuke or edit that post when they find it. It helps that sw65 didn't respond with an online competitor. SWF seems to not mind people discussing local fish stores, that are invaluable for emergency and routine purchaces, and to actually view species of fish you might want to buy online from SWF.

Look, I'm here, at work, surfing this site just like you guys are (don't tell the boss ). We don't get to every post real fast, OK? Don't take it personally.
Heck, we might even miss some, LOL, can you imagine that?
Look at number of posts, forums and number of mods...and consider that we are actually at our regular jobs trying to do this. :yes: We're doing our best
Please give us a break!
So:
REQUESTING EMAILS WITH THE CLEAR INTENT OF "HEY WHERE DID YOU GET THAT (INSERT ITEM HERE) - EMAIL ME" VIOLATES THE RULES OF SWF.
Out of respect to the owner and operator of the site, please do not do this. This is different from many other boards, because it is sponsored by a store. Not a store that just gives you some bit of info, but a store that allows you to get feedback and research a particular fish, piece of equipment, or whatever instantly. I find this to be quite unusual, and that is why I spend time here.
There is basically one rule:
Do not talk about other stores (including posting links, emailing to people, posting to message boards as they are sponsored by competitors).
It is like not walking into a store, getting info, and then telling all the customers "hey go to this cheaper store over there." Its just plain rude. That's all.
If it is the whole focus of a post, it will most likely just be deleted. If it is within a post, then it may be editted or whatever. Maybe it is whatever is fastest at the moment. But it is not done to insult someone personally.
This post is about sw65galma 300g, angry door slam proof tank
So let's get back to it

The difference is that Pitbull posted his own email address, not a competitors website. You can ask someone to email you info, you just can't advertise for another site on this one.

I think we posted at the same time
Requesting an email in this manner is considered a violation of the rules.
For clarification, I'll post the legendarily (is that a word?) oppressive, LOL
"rules" of the board. Note that most are standard legal stuff. Only 3 lines that are "rules," more like "good manners" IMO. :yes:
