Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I don't think anyone would disagree with your point because in reality you are 100% correct. Even the ARC admitted that there might be better ways to help out than restock a tank for a hobbyist.
However, I think their explanation made sense to me as well. You have to realize that people that...
Before you start making your LED hanger, make sure the plug end of the wire fits through the tubing you bought. Would hate to see you bend it, paint it, then find out the plug wire won't fit through it. :o Otherwise, you may have to cut/splice the plug after you run the wire though the tube...
To help explain what Sunny is describing a bit better, I took a screen shot to show you what he means.
First, you need to open the main header for the forum (in your example, that would be the "Tropiquarium" section.) Once there, follow the instructions on this image and you should see all the...

Well, one thing is for certain Jim... your tank has progressed nicely thoughout all your lighting changes so you must be doing something right! ;)
The new ones seem to have a nice even spread throughout the whole tank, so they look pretty good to me. The previous set seemed to have a bit more...
Aw man, that's horrible. Dirk is a great guy and I know this must be devastating to him. He had such a huge inventory (trust me, we helped him move it from his trailer to his booth at our swap) and this is his livelyhood. This will be a tremendous hardship for him, so if anyone has any info...
