    Lost Everything due to my stupidity in not getting a generator!

    Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. If you do decide to get running again I'd be happy to make some frag donations.

    Nasty Squirrels

    Disagree. You need 20,000 squirrels and sharp sticks.

    March Meeting

    Just switched to maybe. I'm going to be up in Bergen County but may be back down south in time to make it over. Saying that, for safety sake, count me as a no for the time being.

    Car (Jeep) buying help please

    Well, I picked up a 2000 TJ last weekend that needs a bit of work but the engine and frame are solid. Its sort of a mish-mash of other jeeps. A silver body, a black hood, a green left front fender. Been driving it around. Its an experience. Its loud, its bumpy, the seats are terrible, it handles...

    Anyone have a sea hare?

    My tang has taken a few shots at it and the pistol shrimp had tried to bully it off a few times. No notice of any dye shooting. It's made short work of the hair algae, less than a week in and the tank is clear. I dropped in a piece of seaweed today and it seems quite happy with it. It is a bit...

    Anyone have a sea hare?

    Got one about the size of a baseball, it eats algae like a vacuum, and is by far the coolest animal in my tank. It's a fuzzy/spiky variety (Aplysia sp). I'm supplementing with seaweed. Just curious if anyone has kept one successfully long term and has any advice to offer.

    Car (Jeep) buying help please

    Hawk, Thanks much for the info, got the PM as well. I put a deposit on a 2000 Wrangler (looking for the older ones with the straight 6 engine) and I'm having it checked by a mechanic tomorrow (Sat) morning. If it doesn't work out I've got the day free to explore the auction option. Thanks again...

    Vacuuming your sandbed

    Used to vacuum sections of my 60 all the time. When I set up my 90 I purposely did a shallow 1-2" bed so I could clean it easily. My current rockwork doesn't allow easy access of a vacuum so I just stir (or turkey baste) the heck out of the bed occasionally and let the skimmer do the work...

    Inherited 90

    Goth is in dude! Or you can sit on that stool and slam out some beatnik freestyle poetry. Seriously, looks great. What are you running for DT, is that a single MP40?
