Did a smurf move into the little sump house yet?

Paul, During my USCG aviation career the movie 'The Guardian' came out. I was stationed at USCG Airsta Cape Cod at the time, where the critical part of the film takes place. Our control center was a white room with a desk, a whiteboard with flights out listed on it in sloppy ink, and a radio to...

Was asked to explain the difference between colds and flu and viruses in a way that wasn’t ‘medical’. Figured I’d pass it on. IT IS VERY BASIC and nowhere near as elaborate as any single step in any of the descriptions is. Any questions, post em, I’ll get as doctorly as I can if you like. So...

Location? I probably have the bulkhead - screw or slip.

Gonna be a crazy mess, post the pics

Glad Rob sent a pic, first person I thought of when I read this. HIs sumps always look good, especially when established as he grows macro and such. He told me he built that little rock hut in hopes smurfs might move in. But its still a sump and will have heaters and pumps hanging about...

Turkey baster and water changes :)

A dip in RODI with food coloring will do it wonders. As a bonus, when its fresh out of the color dip, you can use spray adhesive and glitter.

So, I have 2 MP40s. Opposing sides of a 4' tank. 1/3 way down glass, in center. Set on lagoon, master/slave, and anti-synch, 50% power, I canna' giv'er any more! I've got some decent coverage. I'm messing about with settings today and am going to try tidal swell. Was even considering trying to...

Thanks all. I'm probably going to hold atm due to being out of work suddenly (Corona). When I move and rewire the tank I may go for it initially for the pH and temp control. When I get everything clean and sleek I'll look into potential expansion to start controlling pumps and water changes.

Thanks all. She's home this evening as the hospital was filling up and she seems to have gotten over the bad attacks. We have medication in tow and have to monitor symptoms for quick ER return if she gets bad again. No word on the 'official' test results, but the infectious disease doc is sure...

She's an acupuncturist and sees 70+ people a week, probably picked it up at work. Thanks for the offer Chris, truly appreciated. We're good as we sorta saw this coming a few weeks ago and stocked up on some canned goods, pasta, and, yes, toilet paper. I my sell 3 or 4 rolls of toilet paper to...

Carla is hospitalized with Coronavirus as she was having respiratory troubles. She's on IVs and monitors at the moment and will probably be there for a few days at least. I'm stuck inside now under official quarrantine with a 4yo and an 8yo, God help me. Sorry to Paulie as we're definitely...

So, tank has been up in my study for almost a year. Up against the wall, over a couple of beams that run horizontal with the tank, not perpendicular. Yesterday, while walking across the (hardwood) floor, it felt like a few panels were loose, they were creaky. I looked at the tank from the side...

Cool deal. They dropped me an email back stating that the order I placed wasn't part of the BOGO, they cancelled it, refunded the paypal, and all was groovie. Now I'm sorta pissed as the order of amphis/copis is not in the BOGO deal! In reality, I feel like an ass for bothering them. The $59...

It's the sticky up green middle with the purple arms aporis. I got two of those. The plural is the sticky up green middle with the purple arms apori.

You won that tank over 6 months ago and they were displaying the tanks for sale. Does that mean if you went into the store to buy with cash it would be over a 6 month wait?

The first shipment from them was fantastic. SO! I placed another order this afternoon. BUT! I received an e-mail tonight with a special offer for BOGO on any amphipod order today and tomorrow. I thought the timing was odd and it might be a fishing (ha!) scam to get me to order again immediately...

You got a 2 parter there. They secure their butts down onto a surface and, when threatened, they drop it off, like a lizards tail. That bit on the left is his disconnected arse. They're pretty cool as cleaners, they're nocturnal, and are just pretty interesting. They climb to the top of the...
