    OMG I just had to pull a tick from my daughters head -

    You can get a tick just by walking through a patch of grass. They really arent that bad unless they're in to you already like your case. All you can really do is pull it off and make sure all of it is out of the skin. Wouldnt get too stressed about lyme disease cause while it is common, the odds...

    Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

    I heard from 2 different people that bp is insured for all of this stuff, Like reimbursment for clean up, and it wont wind up costing them that much if anything when its all said and done

    Old Bridge Woman striving to be Heaviest....yes you read that right

    Gross, This world has no hope . Nobody should support this stuff. I dont think she'll ever get to 1000. She would of hit it already. Most of the people that big dont live too long so i think she's almost maxed out already. :o GROSS

    metal halide with T5 question

    Agreed . they are bright, if they were dimmable or a preset thing with different brightnesses for lunar cycles they would be perfect

    Yeah normal glass will have a green tint. Look at the edges of your tank youll see it. Thats why starphire glass is more, its totally clear and more money. Acrylic is clear too

    metal halide with T5 question

    I'm a mh guy, but i dont think t-5's come in 72" Why dont you add 2- 72" vho's. Would give you another 320 watts. would really make it bluer or whiter. You can run them in actinic and put 10, or 12 k for your mh. Alot of people like the t5 cause it will give you a good color range to pick from...

    Get a bigger, like 4" pvc coupling or just a 3" long piece of 4" pipe and buy a thin piece of plexi from the depot. Trace the circle on the plexi and cut it out. Attach it with crazy glue gel or clear silicone. Works great. Or you can just use a clear pyrex glass oven pan. Until your wife needs...

    IceCap Blue LED Array Retro - 45.2 inch

    I had those, they look awesome when they are the only thing on. But they get washed out easy , especially with halides. You only have 150 w so they might not get washed out too bad, i have 400w. Keep in mind these arent meant to replace actinic, they're made for a moonlight like ed said...

    FAUCET ADAPTOR FOR R/O

    So you know the air water ice one wont work on a laundry sink, you need a garden hose one. The threads are too small and fine. I think its more for if you unscrewed your aerator from your bath sink then you can screw it on. I think this is the way to go. I have one similar for my ro in the...

    Why is this hobby so expensive?

    Must be one heck of a boat!!!!!!! HAHAHA ;) I dont think the keep up on the tank is too bad. I mean some of the daily things could be cheaper. but, Its the initial start up thats the real killer

    Why is this hobby so expensive?

    I dont think anyone's beating that 400 watt fixture for 75$ cod- Plus its for outdoors so it can get wet. Bottom line is... Its all a joke. A 48 inch flouresenct bulb is 2 dollars for my garage lighting. A 48" vho bulb for my tank is 24, your tellin me the parts for a vho bulb are 12 times as...

    Why is this hobby so expensive?

    I see what your getting at but.... I'm sure that Petco, Pet smart, and the other big chain stores get a great discount from their suppliers just like a supermarket does. Prob way more of a discount than a mom and pop lfs gets. And they pay their employees dirt and barely have any employees. So...

    Why is this hobby so expensive?

    I just dont understand why a skimmer has to be so expensive? Its some acrylic with a pump. Same with lighting. I just bought light for outside lighting on a building we remodeled ,a 400 w mh fixture , bulb, and ballast for 75.00. This same set up for a reef would start at prob 300? The top 2...
