    Animal trappers?

    My son suggests that we catch one and display its skeleton as a warning to others. He's 6.

    DTC Build - Mrx7899x

    No worries :) Like the Yorkshire on the glass, almost went with a Nantucket myself till I found a decent one at Home Goods that I couldn't pass up. Is that the ebay $19 bulb? Curious how it'll work.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    My initial thought was, 'Why doesn't Paul just hire supermodels to move the tank for him'? So, I went to Google, and typed in, 'Supermodels lifting things'. I got this... May be best to move it yourself. Fabio probably doesn't want to chip his nails, they do look quite spectacular. Wish I...

    Tank and container discussion

    Ha! found this at Marshalls for $15. Was tempted to go creative, but would be a pain to clean. Instead, I went a bit more traditional, 2.5g, with a glass top to help prevent evap. The spout sits about 2" above the base so I'm hoping to go with a sandbed. Ordered a 'food grade' plastic...

    To Euthanize or Not

    Nice work. As JR said, Poseidon has a space reserved for you in the Elysium Fields. :encouragement: Also, as much as I let things happen, I've had 2 fish in the past that were so damaged that I had to euthanize. I used 100% clove oil. Place fish in a smallish (1/2 - 1 gal container) and add 4-8...
