As Willy Wonka so clearly state, “Wrong, sir! Wrong!” :grin: But you are right in that nitrates do pollute our rivers, it's just the source that is wrong. To clarify, the runoff from agricultural fields pollute our rivers, streams (and oceans, if the farm is close to the waterfront)...

Sid, been there, done that….three times over. My recommendation is to not be in any rush closing up the hole. I’m saying keeping it open until the kid is taking showers. If not, we’ll be hearing Chicken Little crying those infamous words once again, shortly after the ceiling is fixed. And...

James, you ask very intriguing questions. As I stated in the OP, this topic would be like opening a can of worms. Grounding probes do offer a benefit to humans. They protect you from being the ground, and allowing current to pass to the probe instead of passing through you. And in regard to...

I wouldn’t feel comfortable with just a little freeze and a little air drying/sun baking. Bryopsis can reproduce both sexually and asexually, one of which is a spore phase. Spores tend to be pretty resistant to death and dieing. Therefore, some type of “execution” is necessary if you want to...

I’m talking VOLTAGE versus CURRENT. Let me try this analogy. Voltage is like a big jar of angry bees. They are in the jar and everybody is happy (well, maybe not the bees). But nobody is getting hurt. Current is opening that jar…the bees flow and the hurt begins. And lights falling...

Saltwater is a good conductor of electricity and if there is a continuous flow of water between the DT and sump, the juice will flow up into your DT. I would speculate that the water going “down” to the sump is gurgling and may not be continuous, but the water going “up” to the DT is a...

George, it’s not a theory, it’s a fact. I’m talking the difference between voltage versus current. If you have a voltage leak….say an exposed wire….there is voltage present. Nothing happens….it’s sort of like potential energy….something could happen, but it doesn’t until it’s converted to...

Grounding Probes came up in another thread and I’m going to be so bold as to open this can of worms on grounding probes. I don’t like them. The only thing they protect is you, and you’ll never know that you have a voltage leak until you see your fish dying. Not to mention that you’re...

SO.......................................did anyone go to MACNA this year?

Tony, If you go to my Tale HERE (post #3, Reply#30), you can see the reservoir I made using a salt bucket and five gallon water jugs. I also have (had) a link to the Aquahub ato DIY kit, but the site crash made that disappear. I did one modification to the Aquahub kit in making my own bracket...

Dave, you mention you are using a flashlight, so I’m assuming it is dark in the tank. If that is the case, this is common for hippos to hide at night. At night my hippo wedges itself between the rocks and the back glass. When I first discovered this, I though for sure it wouldn’t be able to...

+1 I'm there at the drop of a hat.

Flick: Are you kidding? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That's dumb! Schwartz: That's 'cause you know it'll stick! Flick: You're full of it! Schwartz: Oh yeah? Flick: Yeah! Schwartz: Well I double-DOG-dare ya! Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare...

I’m confused (very easy to do), does this mean you are going to drive to Des Moines singing, all 18 hours, XXXXX bottles of beer on the wall. I am the Steven Hawkins of bottles of beer on the wall, and these calculations will not fail me. Go ahead, prove me wrong. I double dog dare you...

I’ve done the calculations and you’re going to have to start at “76,932 bottles of beer on the wall,” for the song to end when you arrive in Des Moines.

Jewel fairy basslet (female color form), also known as lyretail anthias. HERE’s the link.

Well Nick, I don’t listen well….so I’ll take one shot at Texas. We vacationed in Alaska this summer and saw this T-Shirt in a number of shops we visited:

Paul, don’t you mean to say, “cha ching?” :grin:

OK, I’ll be the Indian as long as I can bring my monkey. :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

Happy Birthday Jim Roth!
