Yep, just as the title states, I reek to high heavens right now, despite washing my hands and scrubbing my nails. Are there any gardeners out there? Is anyone familiar with the Alfalfa brew? I grow two dozen or so roses, and once a month I drench them with homemade Alfalfa brew, which is an...

As many of you know, I acquired a beautiful Purple Nudibranch (Hypselodoris bullocki) from Eric yesterday. I figured I might as well start a topic about it, especially since the little bugger has kept us quite busy so far. Here's what he's been up to (in under 24 hours, mind you): Numbers of...

Last Saturday we had a graduation party for our oldest son. It took weeks of planning, days of cooking, and many hours of preparation. The weather was absolutely perfect, and we had between 25-35 people in our yard, including young(er) children. My fishtank is in our dining room, and as hard as...

Hi friends, I am going ballistic over here. I need to get a Power of Attorney to/for my sister in Germany, and despite researching and making phone calls all day, I haven't gotten anywhere. :( The only attorney who called me back told me he'd be happy to write out a POA, but advised against it...

Hi everyone, I've been playing with my camera, trying to learn how to take decent pictures of my little underwater world. Here's what I've come up with so far: Frogspawns & Hammer Here fishy fishy fishy: My spotted Cole Tang - trying to hide, of course. :) Thanks for looking. :) --- Wendy

Today Tom and I took a roadtrip to Marlton, so that I could finally see ILC from the insides. Remember, I was down there on Easter, but they were closed. I had some cash on me from selling one of my spiders on Saturday, and it was a "pricier" tarantula, too. ;) Wellll - I learned the first...

Now that my hair algae is finally under control (or so it seems....it is getting better on a daily basis though), I noticed a tiny spot of Cyano today and I have 3 spots where there is a little bit of bubble algae. :( I immediately sucked up the Cyano (not by mouth, by syphon), but the bubble...

I'm sorry for having been so rare lately, everyone. Last week was an extremely hectic week, and the way the week ended was even worse. For everyone who believes in a deity, please keep my mom in your prayers. For everyone who doesn't, please have good thoughts for her. Last Thursday she called...

I'm sure by now everyone has heard what happened at VT (Virginia Tech University) this morning. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070416/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting Having my boys go through Elementary school was a breeze. Middle School became a bit scary, there were occasional bomb threats...

We finally moved the stand, tank and canopy to its final location. :) I've been busy all morning figuring out this plumbing thing, the whole time crossing my fingers that the Durso would fit into the overflow. It did. Whew! A couple of days ago I learned my first lesson about leaving a...

I don't know if any of you like(d) Genesis, but my husband LOVES them, so I gave him an early Father's Day Gift/Birthday Present and just bought 2 tickets to go see them play at Giants Stadim September 27th. ;D --- Wendy

Hello again, Hopefully you're not all sick of me yet. :-[ I wanted to share my trip to Tropiquarium with you all. I've been there many, many times, even recently, when I was helping my GF with her freshwater setup. But I've never walked in "deliberately" looking at their saltwater livestock...

Hi everyone, Could someone please suggest how many pounds of sand I should purchase for my (future) 75 gallon? I would like to go with the Aragamax sand, about 2-3" deep, and am unsure whether to get 3 X 30lbs or 4 X 30lbs. Also, will I be able to "aquascape" nicely with 100-120lbs of live...

Hi everyone, Before I ask my questions, I'd like to let you know that 2 months ago I had no idea what a "Durso" was, nor what Bulkhead was. :-[ Even though I'm far from adding water to my future tank, I've begun thinking about the plumbing issues. My tank is a 75 AGA RR (corner overflow), and...

Hi everyone, Since I'm in the infant stages of putting together our future setup, I thought I'd share what I/we've done so far. First I had to convert the 30 AGA into a sump. 1. Layout 2. Leak-testing and cleaning 3. Drawing the lines for the baffles: 4. Installing the baffles. I used...
