Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
There you go! And, if I recall right, United Pet Group is what was formerly Royal. It's all such a jumbled mess of buy outs that I often forget who merged and who-bought-who.
I thought the whole Aqueon thing was because they got bought out by someone else, who was bought out by someone else? It basically sounds like the whole industry is slowly getting paired down to Royal and Central Pet (whatever those two are called now).
Thank goodness! After such a long time without power, I'd be worried about serious problems, but it sounds like you might be totally in the clear (except for the color fade you mentioned)
... so, now that I have my pretty new wall hammer.... can I steal some of that luck? ;D
See, things didn't work out that easily for me. I had stopped watching the news to spare my optimism, and that just so happened to be around the time when either the government or the media (or both together) decided that scaremongering about terrorists coming after us through the water supply...
Sorry if I sounded harsh. It's just that most water treatment facilities have been switching to chloramine since it tends to take longer to begin to break down and does not dissipate from the water before it reaches your faucet. It's also less likely for chloramine to convert organic materials...
Before everybody goes calling their townships and local water processing, MOST, if not ALL, water treatment stations and plants have begun to use chloramine. This is why most LFSs worth a darn won't recommend Tetra water conditioners and dechlorinators anymore, since their ability to bind up or...
Is a five too small?
Are you kidding me?
Please.... tell me you are....
Because I openly kept a 3G!
This is where you get into the realm called "pico." Pico tanks are exceptionally small nano tanks. They are generally skimmerless, either relying on a refugium/sump or those old HOB filters...
It's on Mulberry. We go for the industrial and the dark wave.... and also to watch Johnny Bass get intoxicated and do weird things like jump on mailboxes.
We were driving to QXTs last night in Newark on the Turnpike NB, and it was absolutely amazing. I almost had to stop the car to watch. In fact, we were so distracted by the pretty, that we fell behind on our rigid "we-must-get-there-so-we-chicks-don't-have-to-pay" schedule (despite the fact that...
Get a REALLY big, REALLY cheap net and mush it to the size of your overflow, dividing the overflow in half. Hopefully, the fish will end up on the half the net is in (*and not on the other side of the pipes). Drag upwards.
(*this happened a few times with the same darned indigo hamlet- I...
Aw, man! You guys have to check it out if you enjoy Halo and especially if you enjoy it on Xbox Live! Unfortunately http://www.redvsblue.com Rooster Teeth only posts the current to previous season, and, even more unfortunately, it's over with episode 100. But you can youtube pretty much every...
I love, love, love the new White Wolf Changling book, even though I'm not supposed to know that I love it yet! A friend of mine in Atlanta has some connections and ended up with a copy before the release, so we were all enjoying pouring over it. I used to do improve games with friends, but, when...
I've been working on a graphic novel manuscript for a few years, but never really had intentions of finishing it. However, not a friend of mine is pretty much whipping me along to finish and publish it. But web publishing is so much easier. I just needed a bunch of clock hands to choose from for...
So, I started a new project, and I've hit a small snag.
I need clock hands. As many clock hands as possible! And possibly smaller, more delicate gears. I've already hit the Rag Shop, Michaels, Lowes, and the Home Depot, scrunging up as many as possible. Yes, I'll be hitting up Englishtown...
.... but does the New York Times really hate children?
*giggle*
Funniest news article I've seen in a long time (if the New York Post can truly be considered news some days), almost as funny as glorified lite-brights taking Boston hostage!
Thinsg were definitely looking up from last year. Thank heavens I didn't have a camera last year. We kept spotting ich, HLLE, and all sorts of other distasteful things. Things have much improved since then, and it looks like most everything is settling in nicely. This year, just two dead fish...
.... but they weren't really witty! At least, not to me. They were true! I find myself wishing I had an audio recorder so you could have heard the two of us and some of our actual commentary while there!
But, you my friend, have definitely impressed me. With all the "no flash" curators...
