I understand that LIRA, the reef club on long island has some benefits with the owner/manager of that place. As in adjusted prices and behind the scenes tours...not sure how we can leverage that but I recall reading about it on the lira forum in RC.

I like our garmin 2620 (discontinued) but it seems to route us via the major highways even though a local road would be just as good. It always thinks route 1 to Aquatic Obsessions is ideal...yeah right. There were at least two instances where it told me to "turn here" and I ended up in a...

So...before I get compared with Kathainbowen's most excellent post - let me first preface this with a disclaimer - I do not have great photos or witty captions. =) Shedd aquarium was built in the 1920s after John G. Shedd donated $3million buckaroos. It did have the largest indoor aquarium (5...

when i tried that method all I ever caught were my cleaner or peppermint shrimp. The nassarius snails and serpent star also came a running... if it's possible, I'd use a red piece of paper, cover it on a flashlight, grab some popcorn and watch your tank at night. Figure out which rock it is...

well i have a newer model and it's temperamental. Sometimes it'll be foaming like crazy (especially if the valve is wide open), and other times I get this nasty mud-like stuff around the neck only. Not sure what advice is appropriate for you since the new ones are notorious for needing time to...

on pic 953 - that looks like a crown o thorns starfish...in fact I went thru maybe 12 pics and 4 or 5 of them had one in there...not a good ratio for the great barrier.

awesome pics! thanks so much for sharing. Even though I'm not convinced they know what they are doing with the whale sharks, if my family and i are even in atlanta - we'll definitely check out this place.

mynd - the cam freezes/gets stuck at the "Connecting to WebcamXp". Does it matter what browser I'm using to view it? (mozilla firefox here).

i love carmines...the one on the upper west side in nyc is larger and the better of the two if you ask me. Sorry for taking this thread way off course! I forgot what they said but I recall if they were to make calamari rings out of this monster - they would like car-tire sized. Something...

Thanks for the tip...I'm on the other side of route 1 though so I will likely take 27 north. It's slow on 27 too but doesn't feel as bad as route 1. Yes - will definitely go and talk to them next time (maybe when I don't have my girls). I turned my head and my 15 month old was walking around...

Good thing he didn't think it was a bass when he took the hook out of the mouth! lol...though you'd have pretty bad eyesight to misjudge a piranha for a bass. MOUNT HOLLY, N.C. - A fisherman looking to catch a catfish for dinner instead reeled in a fish that flashed its teeth and bit his...

Did you do the trick I learned on HGTV - where before you put your hands in dirt, take a bar of soap and dig your nails thru them? That way later you're washing soap from under your nails and not dirt... btw - I have seen 3 rabbits in my yard and two of them were doing the naughty. Lately...

Was there today. As I stated on my review - I think the place has potential since everyone says such great things about the two guys. The blue/green cyanobacteria is still covering some tank bottoms. It almost looks attractive if you didn't know any better. It's the same stuff you see at the...

This is sad, perhaps sadder by the fact that colon cancer is treatable if caught early. Courtesy of the Associated Press. NY movie critic Joel Siegel dead at 63 Fri Jun 29, 7:59 PM ET Joel Siegel, a longtime movie critic for WABC-TV and "Good Morning America" who racked up five New York Emmy...

Love the idea of the bracelet around the ankle...lol. It may hurt initially, but a call to your niece expressing your concerns about "not touching" the fish tank may be necessary. But perhaps a less-harmful solution maybe a white lie about the toxicity of the saltwater in your tank due to the...

Any suggestions on the wattage? I'm in the same boat as candi and concerned.

hmmm - according to this article you need to be certified by the epa to replenish freon... http://www.alpinehomeair.com/view.cfm?objID=F6F91969-85BD-4AFB-99C3-DA02AAF00074 the good news is you could certify yourself...there's a link embedded but I"ve copied it here: http://www.epatest.com/608/...

whoa - glad to hear you are back...hope everything is okay!

let me be the first non-moderator, non board member to say "Welcome aboard!" ;D Actually i agree - I am really impressed with the officers and members on this forum. All except for that Abby Stain person who keeps running. What's up with that?

Will that be projected on a screen or printed? Just wondering because I've seen really great drawings on a pc (obviously with a backlit monitor) but when projected with any number of lumens, the colors fade a bit...then again I am not a graphic artist. also one last digression - I really...
