    Never Ending Pointless Thread

    See, I love Clockwork.... Then again, I also love such horrendously bad movies as anything from the Tremors series (I lived through college with the mantra "The universe provides," and I've had a friend since high school who is totally Bert in real life) and anything with zombies ("Send more...

    I apologize if I've offended anyone here

    Miss Candi, if you need to apologize for that, then I've got four lifetimes worth of stuff to apologize for from when I worked at the LFS in Atlanta. Let's see.... 1.) I apologize to all trigger owners and acknowledge that they are not "dumb, mindless, eating machines." 2.) I apologize to...

    Is the Camden "adventure aquarium" worth the visit?

    It's MUCH less of a rip off than the Georgia Aquarium. $25 per person to be in a crammed aquarium. Granted, their tanks are large and stunning, but there aren't that many tanks. I was very disheartened until I got the "Alan-Tour" and got to stand on the moveable bridge over the whale sharks and...

    Lost my best fishy friend... RIP Wasabi

    Firstly.... *hug* I'm so sorry about Wasabi. I was having fun reading about him! Second... *deep breath* I <3 <3 <3 tobies! I absolutely adore both the Valentini sharpnose puffer (aka Valentini toby) and the Fiji Orangetail! They're both super sweet species and can with other semi-aggressive...

    Flow in a hexagon tank?

    It's not really a stupid question, so don't feel bad. In fact, I actually positioned the powerheads based off of the rock, and, then, adjusted everything for both the fish and coral until I was happy with it. But, a large part of how I adjusted the powerheads and the flow related to the fish...

    Flow in a hexagon tank?

    Hooray, a post I can actually feel like a total expert on! I actually moved everything out of my pico finally and comfortably into my 10 hex, and things are going great. But, definitely, with the height and with how easy it can be to end up with an absolutely jammed tank, hexes can be dead...

    all gone

    Do you have any wrasses in the tank? If not, three of my personal favorites are the yellow, the sixline, or the solarensis. The yellow coris wrasse does have some questionable reef compatability with certain small invertebrates, but is the most reef safe of all the coris wrasses. It is also less...

    Potentially stupid LR question

    Perhaps it is not necessarily the liverock placement issue, but could perhaps be more of an issue with the environment. In the wild, fish duck into their hiding spots when there's a predator about. Or, they take hints from other fish. When the area is empty, there is most likely a predator...

    Potentially stupid LR question

    .... it's like Schrodinger's cat. Yes and no.... and all at the same time! Ok.... so no in that the biological filtration in the liverock is not photosynthetic. So, it doesn't really need light. Yes in that the liverock requires water flow for biological filtration (aerobic bacteria!), so, if...

    Multiple Angels

    One of my clients from when I worked at the pet shop actually had a Midnight, Flame, and Bicolor all in a 90G. If you want to see a few large angels coexisting together, check out Tropiquarium! I know they have one huge, uber French angel in a tank as well as one other (for some reason, the...

    .... y'know.... the pool *is* gone.... but the electrical system heading out to where the pool used to be is still there...... Perhaps a slightly elevated greenhouse/tiki bar?

    Is it Wrong

    Agreed! If the policy covers it, don't feel bad. Case in point, have you ever heard of the Rennie-Return-Policy? Most WalMarts in America within 10 miles of a renaissance festival have grown to loathe the traveling performers of their usage of the return policy. WalMart has an unconditional...

    Seriously? Then you need to help me! We've got this "deck-to-nowhere." See, we *had* (very operative word here) an above ground pool with a deck. The pool is gone. It kind of ripped apart, so we took it out. But the deck has been a bone of contention. I insist we turn into a mad-phat tiki bar...

    Lol. You should see WHAT I draw. I've spent two weeks basically attempting to "audition" of sorts for a publishing house that shall remain nameless but produces books of vampires, werewolves, and all sorts of oddities of folk lore. It's been a very strange few weeks of drawing, to say the least...

    1.) My tank (d'uh) 2.) Exotic pets (at the moment, though, my reef tank is the most exotic thing I have. That and my Harley-kins - a three foot male ball python named Harlequin, but I subject to cutesy names whenever I feel like). 3.) Drawing, art, brush ink, illustration, painting, etc. 4.)...
