Herbie... nooooooooo! I can't believe you lost all those beautiful fish. I can't even imagine how you must feel right now, but I'm glad you still seem to be in good spirits all things considered. As others have already said, you know a lot of us are here for you and you have tons of help...

I went in to work today. Rt. 42N to Rte 295N to Rte. 38 E was all clear. Some traffic lights out on Rte. 38 between Hartford Rd. and the Mt. Holly Bypass, but they had the crossover's coned off so it didn't affect traffic on Rte. 38 unless you had to get to the other side. Power is on and...

Looks good Dan. I've been browsing DIY tank stands for about the last 3-4 hours. Trying to come up with a good design for my new 120 I picked up from Brandon (DS4x4) on Sunday. It's a single/corner overflow and the tanks going beside a half-wall that divides two rooms, so I need the Peninsula...

Knock on wood, all is still good here in Blackwood. Been raining all day and winds are getting pretty crazy... but not damage that I'm aware of and power is still on. Hope it doesn't get any worse.

Look in the "Rock the Vote" forum in the members only section.

Hopefully it's not as bad as it's being predicted. Be safe everyone and hopefully we'll all pull through it.

That's interesting John. I guess you never know until you try something, right? I'll be carving one myself this weekend. I'll give it a try too and report if they like it.

One of those.... " I know I'll need this for something one day " items huh? Very sound advise though. Better to be safe than sorry.

+1 I would suggest the same tactic. I recommend doing it ASAP too.

Nice Phil. I really enjoyed that! After watching it, I watched this one and thought it was pretty good too: http://youtu.be/P_0kBD_4T6o

Oh good, then you don't need a moving van? Just a couple dollies and a hand truck and you're good to go! :p

All kidding aside, I think it's going to be VERY POWERFUL! One commenter had the perfect response: Bath salts no bueno.

Don't worry, there'll be a bunch of them returned on Wednesday.. Will be easy to get one then.

You can use distilled water, but over time, it's cheaper to use RO/DI water. Distilled water is purified by evaporation, turning it to steam, and then collecting the water as it condenses. This process basically strips all the minerals out of the water because they are heavier than the steam...

An alternative would be to find a battery backup. You might be able to find them at Staples or Office Max, etc. Definitely not as good as a generator, but could give you an extra day of power. Also, if you have a Vortech pump(s), they make batter backups for just those. They can last up to...

Melafix or Pimafix are good medicines for that. Should be able to get it at any LFS.

Yea, those are what made me think of that. Sounds like you solved that problem then.

+1 A change in temp, or pH etc. can stress them out.

Yea, awesome lil tank. Love how you organized that side cabinet too! Does it get hot in the top section with all the controller equipment? Might not be a bad idea to install a small computer fan to ventilate it.
