Urban Dead! It's a low tech zombie apocalypse mmorpg. If you do decide to play, come find me (Poker Alice, at [62,53], Truell Museum)

Saltwater4life.... do you play Urban Dead by any chance?

Somebody's been studying their Zombie Survival Guide!!! ;D

There are two kinds of people in the world, Doc. Those who have a plan prepared for when the zombies take over the world, and those who don't. We call those last people dinner. So, what's your zombie plan?

A random friend on Lj actually used on recently about his house and on his pirannah tank. Valis isa known for his.... er... colorful language, so it's not exactly for those who can't handle profanity, but check it out: Valiskeogh takes on his house with the Kill-A-Watt!

Lol... sorry... it's just that red/blue and red/green color vibration makes my eyes hurt. I actually love the new design and wish everyone could be experiencing the new setup the way I am. I'm currently on my Powerbook G4 (the little, white Mac laptop) and in Safari (because I'm too lazy to...

I love the new look.... except for one thing.... someone needs to take the NJRC logo at the top and remaster it into a new color.... something with less color vibration against the red. Red and blue vibrate heavily against one another (as does red and green, which is a handy excuse when you...

Try feeding with either dimmed lights, or just actinics. Or, try feeding with all the lights off except for, perhaps, a dim ambient light. You could also try coaxing him out with a little bit of *dramatic music* live brine shrimp! Yes, I know, there is little to no nutritional value behind...

Definitely. Some LFSs are all about the money, as are some staffers at good LFSs. It's just a question of knowing the store and knowing the people. Prime example: Tropiquarium. Most people love 'em. I love Trop. It's like my home away from Petland-Dunwoody in an LFS sense. But there's just...

Ok, as promised, more cheapskate ideas from the queen of frugality... Tank backing or background painting is the CHEAPEST of cheap tricks. It completely amps up the coloring of your fish with color constrast, making even cheap little damsels look really slick. For an added, designery trick...

Lol. I'm running the opposite of you, then. I love the bio media, but dump the carbon in favor of Purigen (I live with a well meaning person who likes to clean.... everything.... and who doesn't understand that aerosol and spray products could be potentially devastating to any tank, let alone a...

:-\ I really couldn't recommend Stress Zyme or Stress Coat. There's really little good to them for the cost. For about the same cost, Kent, SeaChem, and Hagen make much better products. For dechlorinating, check out Prime (SeaChem) or Ammonia Detox (Kent). For bacteria introduction, check out...

;D What can I say? I'm a cheapskate at heart. *blush* I'll post more tricks I've learned through trial and error later.

What was the answer to the question about cucumbers? I lost the posts somewhere. Didyou say if you ever had any cucumbers or sea apples in your tank? *shudder* Bleh.... disgorging. Gross, gross, gross. Although, if you catch it fast enough, remove the animal, make sure you're got a good load of...

I wasn't saying to cut the thing open and perform a necropsy. (*I only suggest that with sharks and only to check the stomach contents- see if it was ever eating and, if so, what.... mostly because the shark tummy is easy to find). Just an extensive look of the overall external conditions of the...

I'm so sorry for you guys. I know how much it sucks to have a massive die-off or crash. I do wonder at what's going on the tank... how detailed of a post-mortem did you do, Reefdrumz? I see a good external examine of the fish, as well as overall water-quality results and equipment checks. Maybe...

Ok, so check out these money saving tips from the retail world: Ash content awareness is good. The higher the ash content, the higher the amount of undigestable stuff is in it. So, the lower the ash content, the more digestable food is in it. It's like hunting for dog foods that don't use...

If you don't want to mess with white balancing on your camera, or, if you don't have a camera that has a white-balancing feature (like me), you can always white balance the hard way. Before you start taking some serious pictures, tank at least a few with a white card in front of your subject...

Atlanta, GA (Petland-Dunwoody) Hence why I don't work there anymore. :-[ And, sadly, there are rumors circulating that the Danny-type-person might be leaving Petland permanently to be a rep for Marineland. :'(

Well, yeah, there are many LFSs that will do that. It's a business, and, to stay in business, they've got to make money. But, when you look around, you can find good LFS here and there. My old manager, Danny, he taught me, though, that fish were just part of the equation when it came to...
