Hi everyone!

A lot has happened, finally moved, new place doesn't allow tanks, etc. I started up some other hobbies to fill the void of not having any aquariums...

Someone came by and bought up...

No thank you. I did a stint making deliveries years before cell phones and online maps were a thing. I'd have to sit there with a map booklet of the city and plot out my route for the whole day...

Has it already been 13 months since MiniMac arrived in this world? Dang man, the time flies. Has he started walking around yet? It's been so many years since ours was that age I can't really remember...

Doing pretty good. I got Jr. a little youth-sized .22lr rifle for xmas and yesterday we stayed out till the sun went down spinning those little .22 steel targets and punching holes in paper targets....

Tank looks great!

Hi Matt, Nat, and Tom! :xwave:

I can't remember the last time I swung by but got the sudden urge to see how y'all were doing. I hope all is well with you and yours!

I'm sorry but this isn't true. Replying to an email, at worst, informs the sender that there is an active user on the other end of the email and may cause them to focus their efforts on that person....

My wife derives much pleasure from harassing the scammers when they call her office. She will put them on speaker and her coworkers gather 'round to spectate. From what I hear, she has become quite...

Compounds can be a bit uncomfortable for smaller folks depending on the brand/models. A lot of regular compounds weigh in around 4.5-4.8lbs.
After spending a good 2 hours one evening at Cabela's, my...

Better to miss entirely than to hit the wrong spot and wound the animal without killing it. Glad you overcame your mental roadblock.

When you say your head starts messing with you, do you mean...

That's called "waste of game" and as Tom pointed out is illegal and not all that common, despite what spin the news puts on things with the occasional sensational stories that come out of Africa....

I suggest following the dosage instructions found on the packaging of your specific brand/product than trust random suggestions from online sources.

Fin rot is indicative of poor water quality....

The issue is more complex than a handful of us dusty members can overcome.

The ongoing server problem has been a contributing factor, but it was not the main problem and fixing it will not stop...

If you click on the "Tag User(s)" button at the top of the screen and add the person in question, they should received a notification via email provided that they haven't disabled that feature in...

Could be dead/dying plant matter rotting under the substrate...? Old root system or something.

If that was the case then why were the rest of us able to see the new posts in the thread?

I found that the most reliable way to circumvent the New Posts page fiasco is to either tag the member or quote part of their question in your reply. This way the new members can simply click on...

Closer to an hour and a half, and that's even faster than the gallon-per-day rating (only 50) listed on my RODI unit. If you spend more and get a 100+ GPD rated system it will make the water faster....

Not a wheel gun but still wanted to share.

Wanted to give the 1911s a try without spending a small fortune so I picked up an inexpensive ATI FX9, 4.25" barrel. After running about 600rnds through...

Yes, that is sufficient for a 20long tank. I have one of similar GPH rating (different brand, though) and it has served me well for the last two years. Usually takes around 75-80mins to fill up an...

Possibly but I dunno... As Mac pointed out, corals can be maddeningly frustrating at times. That particular bugger has already been in two other tanks and the earliest record I have of it is in a...

Good to hear the good news. Not so good about the bad news, obviously :(

After my own issue with chemicals in my tank (when I accidentally used inappropriate silicone for my original sump build) I...

Oooooo la la! What did you pick up?

I'm with this. Sell a kidney and start an adolfoi program :hmm3grin2orange:

It really depends on what your filter/water softener does to your water. Each person’s situation is different. If your water purification system strips out all minerals then you’ll definitely want to...
