Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Something is not right. What is your water source....city water or well?
The only thing I could think of is either an acidic or basic water is stripping the DI resin. That shouldn't be happening with city water.
Mike great to see that you're back. Sorry I missed you at Darren's. Would have liked to talk.
Cute dog.....don't let my wife see that little ball of fir.
Ventilating the Canopy (The saga continues)
The one rear vent wasn’t enough. So six more vents were added to the top of the canopy. At first four, but that wasn’t enough, so two more were added:
The way this was done was to first drill holes in the canopy top using a two inch hole...
Matt, very nice!
How did you get that glass finish on the stand? It looks like a lacquer finish.
I really like that hinged down board for the Vortex’s. I’m going to have to steal that idea. Really, once you set them, how often do you play with them……..never!
George, thanks for the advice through PM’s. I really wasn't expecting this to be an issue and was surprised to not see dues in my account.....so check your paypal accounts like George suggests. I don’t know what happened to my paypal, but I’ve re-upped my subscription and should be good to...

My adult daughter has a min pin….at 8 pounds. With the eating issue, and being 20 pounds, could it be diabetic?
My daughter’s dog has similar behavior with people at the door. Barks for a minute and maybe jumps at their legs, and then loses interest. Never ever bites.
I can answer this.
You need to host your pictures somewhere and then use the IMG choice. I use photobucket….it’s free and easy to use.
If the picture is already “hosted” somewhere, just post that location between the following:
Not sure what you are showing, but you need two polarized sources…..one in your computer screen or telephone and one in a film or pair of sunglasses. You put your computer/telephone on one side of the glass while on the other side is a polarized film or pair of polarized sunglasses. Your...
Assembly of the Skeleton
The 2 inch uprights were cut to length and pocket holes were drilled into each end. Top and bottom braces were cut to length and the four frames assembled. The frames were then glued and screwed to the top, and glued and screwed to each other:
The arced...
Side and Front Frames
Here’s the rough design and cut diagram for the side and front frames:
And here are those pieces ripped to proper width:
I also noticed that it’s not truly ¾ ply…..it’s 23/32. So I’ll have to fit the front and back frames….no big deal, I would have done...
Have you considered Bayer Advanced Insecticide? I think it's more effective than Revive. Some say it kills eggs as well. Although I've only been using it a year of so, I've never had a problem with a coral.
