    Car (Jeep) buying help please

    Well, I picked up a 2000 TJ last weekend that needs a bit of work but the engine and frame are solid. Its sort of a mish-mash of other jeeps. A silver body, a black hood, a green left front fender. Been driving it around. Its an experience. Its loud, its bumpy, the seats are terrible, it handles...

    Anyone have a sea hare?

    My tang has taken a few shots at it and the pistol shrimp had tried to bully it off a few times. No notice of any dye shooting. It's made short work of the hair algae, less than a week in and the tank is clear. I dropped in a piece of seaweed today and it seems quite happy with it. It is a bit...

    Not really, but sometimes when I'm really scared I pee a little.

    Anyone have a sea hare?

    Got one about the size of a baseball, it eats algae like a vacuum, and is by far the coolest animal in my tank. It's a fuzzy/spiky variety (Aplysia sp). I'm supplementing with seaweed. Just curious if anyone has kept one successfully long term and has any advice to offer.

    Hawk, Thanks much for the info, got the PM as well. I put a deposit on a 2000 Wrangler (looking for the older ones with the straight 6 engine) and I'm having it checked by a mechanic tomorrow (Sat) morning. If it doesn't work out I've got the day free to explore the auction option. Thanks again...

    Vacuuming your sandbed

    Used to vacuum sections of my 60 all the time. When I set up my 90 I purposely did a shallow 1-2" bed so I could clean it easily. My current rockwork doesn't allow easy access of a vacuum so I just stir (or turkey baste) the heck out of the bed occasionally and let the skimmer do the work...

    Inherited 90

    Goth is in dude! Or you can sit on that stool and slam out some beatnik freestyle poetry. Seriously, looks great. What are you running for DT, is that a single MP40?

    Car (Jeep) buying help please

Its a 1998, very good condition, no rust, 150k miles, 6c engine. $450. Yep, $450, usually these things are $4k plus. I...

    Algae and Death, a mystery

    I've got a few small, but thickening areas of green hair algae over the past month. Its growing slowly, densely, and surely. I had bryopsis in the past and took an aggressive stance against it (see below) so I'm surprised to see the GHA outbreak. I've also had the loss of a very well...

    Thanks for advice all. We worked it out through the week and I told the seller I'd be over this morning cash in hand, all seemed cool. Got up this morning, took time off, drew some cash from the bank, and called the guy to tell him I was ready to meet up (at the agreed time this morning)...
