    My son and his addiction

    So, last week my son, 9, used his cash to buy another 2 Transformers for $60. He just asked, a few minutes ago, if he can get another one at $40. Me: Are you sure you want to spend all your monney on Transformers, dude? You're going to use up all your savings. HIm: 'Yeah, I want it. I can't...

    The plan for a re-scaped tank...

    New rocks curing with Microbacter Start XLM boosted by QuikCycl. I have removed half my ceramic media from the sump to 're-cure' with the new rock. With each water change over next couple weeks 20% or so of the tank sand will come out as well (there's really not too much sand in the tank, maybe...

    New family member on the way

    Beautiful dogs. Ours is coming up from Georgia as well, coincidentally. We went through 2 Hands 4 paws. We very briefly contemplated the Irish Gaelic (Phelan (wolf)) if the kids despised Argos, but with a son Tiernan, and a daughter Aine (Anya), figured it might be mistaken for another child...

    New family member on the way

    Nope, but before my love for Sci-Fi was my realization that the Iliad and The Odyssey are the greatest stories ever penned. I read the Odyssey in multiple translations and always swore that if I had a dog, it would be named 'Argos'. From Argos (dog) - Wikipedia : After ten years of fighting...

    Membership

    Once every month you can make reservations for a home cooked meal at a Board of Director's house. Plus they're available to do shopping, tank maintenance, and tire changing. It's a heck of a deal.

    Anyone done an active tank rebuild?

    Thanks all for the great advice. I'll stock up on filter socks to swap during changeover and pick up a bottle of bacteria as well. Agree on the sand and that was my worry. Wondering if I put snad in a container inside the larger cycling tank, if I could cycle sand at the same time?

    Anyone done an active tank rebuild?

    So I ordered some flat rock from a guy in Fla and I love the stuff. Love it so much so that I'd like to remove my current scape and replace it with a new build consisting 80% or better of this new rock. The fish will be temp moved to a holding tank on the day of action. If anyone has done this...

    RED SEA s500 ELECTRONICS DRAWER / eBay

    This has been a lesson to me. I'm planning to sell some frags this week. Was going to put them in the watertight specimen bottles, then a waterproof bag, then in a box with peanuts and packing. Now I know I can just send them in an envelope and save myself the trouble.
