Got a new TDS meter today, it came precalibrated to 342ppm but included a package of 1383ppm solution and states: "TDS in Aquarium, Hydroponics testing: Recalibrate the HM TDS-EZ/3/4 meters with the 1382 ppm/KCl TDS solution for higher ppm TDS testing needs such as Aquariums, Hydroponics, Pools...

I need to get some for mine, was wondering where you guys get it (online? ebay? are we planning any group buys for some maybe?) Thanks

LOL well mine was a DISASTER but it had little to do with the rain ;)

I couldn't resist either... wonder if he'll make another new screen name for RC too?

I know Aliya would love this but my husband said he isn't ready to take a 3yr old who won't sit still on the train so I guess we're going to miss it. Anyone with children, how do your kids do on the train etc?

Welcome back! Love the look of the Finnex tanks, we just started up a nano section here, come on over there when you get a chance!

I got out my razor and dremel (ok so it's an electric nail file I used to use when I did acrylic/gel nails, same thing :P ) LOL Took off the filter and inspected it and the tank again... decided it would be better to ruin a $30 filter then my tank (that rim is actually pretty solid/thick on the...

That 2 hour gap is certaining extremely disturbing, given there was a shooting and no shooter captured why wasn't the student body notified and the school put on lockdown immediately? So sad

OMG.. that was the first I heard about it. I am just beside myself with all of these types of horrible crimes taking places in schools, the world is already such a scary dangerous place these days and as parents we like to think that our children are at least safe when at school but the sad...

Sounds even easier, I'll try that first :)

drop the water level a bit, have my DH hold a dust pan or something similar under the lip and use the dremil to just sand it down a bit... it's really only a tiny bit to wide so it shouldn't take but a second or two and hardly any sandings. I think that would work and catch anything, and worst...

Right... I should have specified that, it's the black edge that is there to hold the glass tops in place. I don't know how I'd modify the filter easily, seems like a much easier fix to just file down a section of the black edge. Guess I'll cross my fingers and give it a try :)

I have a 30g oceanic cube that is a FOWLR for one green spotted puffer. I purchased a aquaclear 70 filter to hang on the back to house purigen/carbon/etc... however it won't fit correctly!!! The area that should fit over the edge/lip of the tank is a tiny bit to narrow so while the filter...

Thanks Carlo, I won't worry about the Federal then since I know he has enough being withheld from his checks I figured it wouldn't be a real issue (ie not cost us anything) but might become a paperwork headache if they start asking why we aren't sending in the payments and I need to forward...

Hey, maybe I could use this same theory as my "excuse"... we did just move from MI, but what I failed to mention was that we lived just outside of DETROIT... and everyone knows about Detroit right? hehehe LOL (ok so we lived in Oakland County, aka suburbia but hey, it sounded good right?)

LOL I hear you. Actually (in theory) we should be getting money back, no idea on the state taxes because any attempted to figure that out ended terribly for me LOL we're having a CPA deal with that mess, it's just this estimated tax crap that I don't know if it's going to be a paperwork...

I won't bore you with the grueling details (lets just say that 4 w2's for my hubby, 2 of them corrected... moving from MI to NJ and the sale of a house, and him working in NYC but living here, plus having started for the company when we were still in MI can get a tad complicated when tax time...

LOL Wendy, not sure how much of a vacation it is... driving 12 hours plus staying with the inlaws ;) I haven't been on a real vacation since our wedding/honeymoon in Maui in '02... I'm holding out for going back too!

I think it's a matter of personal preference really. I know red wouldn't look natural to me... two of my tanks have blue although one is a bluer blue and one has white. I prefer the white or light blue the best, I think it's easier to see critters in a soft white moon like glow over a colored one.

WOW that is a bargin, the looking around I did here & with my moms group all came back around $40. Thanks for the info. I think for this trip we're just going to take her with us, we're driving back to MI and staying with my inlaws.
