    Basic resizing software

    Phyl suggested a free download to me at the anniversary sale, and of course I've forgotten the name. I would imagine other photo noobs would appreciate some suggestions regarding free or reasonably priced software to get out POTM entries out of the camera and posted on this site, or in the FTS...

    Have we become slaves to parameters?

    Maybe this is a good place to channel some of the passion we have regarding our ideals about managing our tank parameters. There have been a lot of threads touting this alk range and that temp range and the thinking behind it. There have been lots of charts and statistics posted. But I have yet...

    Finally - after nine years of waiting!

    Right where I can watch closely. My nine year old pair of ocellaris clowns have finally laid eggs! Pretty fancy plankton for my softie tank!

    So What is Your Motivation?

    Although I had to miss the meeting this weekend, I was not deprived of deep, philosophical reef related conversation! In between church obligations and honey-do stuff, I got to spend some time on the couch at Aquatic Obsessions where I have recently earned the label 'Old School.' It is a label...

    Buying Daylight T5's locally?

    I was under the apparently mistaken impression that Daylight HO T5's are available in Home Depot's and such. Guess I was wrong! :o I'm looking for 36" 39w daylight bulbs locally. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

    I think I passed the test today! I'm a reefer!

    As many of you know, my return to reefing was instigated by consolidating tanks to make way for a model railroad. Then I fell in love with the consolidated tank and the rest is history. Well I'm in the process of taking down a large Christmas village display that has a train track. I collect...

    Mixing Saltwater - Is it a Batch or Continuous Process??

    Many of us mix and maintain large barrels of saltwater. I was wondering if you mixed and used in single batches, or do you just keep topping of and adding salt? I can see some pros and cons to both methods. Since I was asking this question, I decided a poll might be interesting to capture...

    blange3's 180 upgrade

    So I guess I'll think out loud here while I wait for this to happen. I was sitting in front of the tanks the other day wondering how to simplify maintenance a bit, my recent illness put a hurtin' on their appearance. And I thought to myself if I could upgrade to a single larger show tank...

    Favorite Fantasy/Sci-Fi Books, Movies and Games!

    OK since I rudely hijacked the Potter thread in a desperate attempt to keep my imagination stimulated, I'm starting this thread with a really broad scope. When it comes to books, my favorite all time fantasy reading was the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In sci-fi I liked Dune up to the 4th book...

    ACJR's - how are the new ones working?

    We should have lots of new ACJr users out there based on the last group buy. I've been thinking about upgrading mine to the latest firmware to make use of the multiple feed cycles available in the new version. Anyone out there using this feature yet? Anyone do a firmware upgrade?

    Kenya Trees - can they be controlled?

    I really think that anyone starting out as a beginning reefer should start with green star polyps, Kenya trees and anthelia. If you can't keep them alive, you don't have a future in this hobby! ;) Now that I'm back in the game for more than two years, I need to reclaim some space in my 55 for...

    Hey bird people. Anyone want....?

    OK, so get the dreams of a free hand raised Moluccan Cockatoo out of your heads! I have a 20 year old male cockatiel and an older male blue parakeet that could use some extra attention. They weren't mine, but have become mine and I can't give them the time or space they deserve. Free to a...

    I could be a contender!

    I could win the Open Water quest for the most bizzare thread, if there were one other kindred spirit that could discuss the following topic: FIRESIGN THEATER! Scratchin, drinking and killing zombies pale in comparison. Now that's shoes for industry!

    So it's cold and snowing and we just got back from dinner. It seems just before we got home, somneone did a hit and run on the power pole across the street. P.S.E.&G. is here repairing the damage. We have still have power, but I can't help wondering what might happen tonight. And I do not own a...
