i m rebuildng the plumbing on this tank. i will post pictures when i get a chance.

Can't wait to see it all cleared up. That crinum looks familiar

Unfortunately I moved and had to break down the tank and it has never been the same. I will take a picture of its current state and I have been thinking of "redoing" this tank.

Cheers, Whitepine

I like the second picture down....

I can hear the shrill ;)

I have 5000 watt generator outback.... Loud as hell and sucks the gas like there's no tomorrow. I use it sparingly.

I have some air miles I need to burn.... just need a place to crash

I experience numerous power outages... pretty much on a weekly basis. I have gone with out power for 5 days in the winter and used Shanes method of water movement(water changes)..... and battery powered air stones. Luckily I am able to keep the house warm enough with a wood stove in the winter. Fres...

I want my flag too...

You could actually just raise one side of the fan support to put an angle on it.

I have also used the frozen bottle method on a small reef tank with great success. I could drop the temp of the tank by about 5 to 7 degrees. The fans are a great idea but would work much better if you had them blowing across the tank. Evaporative cooling works much better with lower humidity. Is th...

When I lived in Seattle and had large Planted tanks, I would do very large water changes over 50% on a bi-weekly basis. It never affected the fish. I always noticed the water had a stronger chlorinated smell in the summer as if the municipality added more to prevent algae. I did use a carbon filter ...

Again,

Honda VFR 2003-2009. 800CC, fuel injected and you can set it up to tour or ride at the track! Will meet all your needs and wants.

Honda vfr.... looks and feels like a sport bike but has a more upright position for touring. Check out http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?

Maybe a fourth ('94-'97) or fifth generation('98-'01). You should be able to find one fairly cheap.

Put February 9th on your calender now if you are in the Seattle area!

I just pulled the plastic off one of my tank to marke a "edge" tank. I just use the razor knife to slice along side the plastic through the silicon. top pops right off.

how big is the tank? If you are approaching 4 watts per gallon, you will need to add co2 or you will run into lots of algae problems.

Jools,

do you have it up yet?

my favorite is Pork wrapped in Banana leaves!

I just got back from dropping the boys (Shane and Jools) off in Bellevue. We where up in Bellingham and checked out
Clark's (Fish store) and boundary bay (Pub). Clark's is still the great fish store I remember. No pictures but still a great time.

Selll the rocks on ebay... I have seen bba on wood and rocks sell for stupid prices.

There have been a few discussion on exotic finds. You might want to do a search for Exotic finds and read the comments for yourself. I have talked with Blue and he seems very nice.

Another little thing that may have been mentioned that I missed is the el cheapo tank alarm. When your water reaches it, it sets off an alarm. I think ebay may have them. Glad you like it. On the tank alarm - can you point me at your "el cheapo" one that is much less than £50/US$50? I'd l...

Seachem Flourish™ Excel also works as a dip.... put the plants in a container and overdose for the size of the container at 4 to 1. leave in the solution for about 20 min. and the algae will turn red and die off. you can do this at a ratio of 2 to 1 in the tank for about two weeks with similar resul...

any new pictures on the fish room? I am thinking of painting my fish room with Exterior paint... as it is designed to weather seal the outside of a house and should work great to seal the inside. I looked at that and it seemed a good idea although I may go for bathroom paint - only because it is av...

I have a well and have done some research into ground water and well problems in my area. so I did a google search for your area and came up with one possibilty. Your area had a well system contaminted with Trichloroethylene (TCE). It is a solvent for removing grease from metal and textiles. I don't...

I know Shane can't wait to see this game

I think you should use a little sandpaper(60 grit) on the plastic and then secure the moss to the plastic with either fishing line or better yet, cotton thread. The thread will rot a way and leave the moss which by then will have anchored itself to the roughed up plastic if the panaque hasn't got to...
