WHAT????  Not sure if there is a typo here, but I watched the show in the 60's and the actor was BURT Ward, not Bruce.  Also, if the show was on in the 60's, not sure how he was born in '79??? EDIT TO ADD I think I goofed….I think you were pointing out that you knew the actor’s name and that...

I’m just wondering if there is something up with this year’s migration. As noted, I saw a hummer on May 25 and haven’t seen one since. I also talked to my Dad in North Carolina today, who usually has ten plus hummers fighting over his feeder, and he hasn’t seen a hummer yet. I believe there is a...

Mad, the top is yours….just let me know when you want to pick it up. Also, if you want Raspberry plants, please bring something to put them in….they may be transported bare root, so a five gallon bucket will hold quite a few. If you would like an amaryllis, they come in a plastic pot. Thanks for...

I’m trying to clean the fish shed and the first two things I came across are ten gallon tops and a 55 gallon screen top. These are free and as a bonus you may have as many raspberry bushes you can dig out, as well as an amaryllis plant (I’ll provide the shovel). The raspberries are a Fall...

I was on another site and someone posted up this link to inexpensive SE and DE MH bulbs. I am a T5 user and know nothing about the quality of these bulbs, just that they seem awfully inexpensive. If I did use them, I’d probably check this place out simply because of price. Does anyone have...

Bees aren’t a problem. Ants could be if they can easily walk the distance to your feeder. The one feeder I have hanging in a tree had a problem with ants while the one hanging off the side of the porch does not. There is a simply fix for ants….a moat made from a spray can top. If you have the...

Rod, these are not actors, but are the real Batman and Robin.  If you promise not to tell, I will let you know that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne and Robin is **** Grayson…but again, don’t tell anyone because they don’t want the evil-doers to find out. EDIT TO ADD:  Wow, filters must be set...

I also noticed the spelling error….It should be: Dada Dada Dada Dada, Dada Dada Dada Dada, BATMAN! Everythin else loks goood. ;D However, also realize that the picture you posted is a Batman imposter. Here is a picture of the real Batman and Robin

OK, here’s what I know with my 20+ years of feeding these little hummers: We (East Coasters) only get one variety of humming birds here….Ruby Throated HB. Of the many feeders that I have tried, here are the two that I’ve had the most success: They hold about 1 ½ cups of feed, but I only...

Yes they migrate up into New England and Canada. They do need the habitat to move into the area. Also have her make the sugar solution at 3 cups water to 1 cup sugar. The extra concentration of sugar helps to convince the hummers to come to your place to feed.

Wow…four weeks ago. I typically gauge my filling of the feeders on what my father sees in North Carolina. He tended to be about one week ahead on us on the hummer return. I asked about two weeks ago and they still weren’t being seen at his feeder…which I put up a week after Easter. Maybe the...

Not sure if anyone else is a feeder of the little hummers, but they have returned. Was sitting out on my side porch and one came in looking for the feeders. They were not up yet and the little guy went over to the flowering mountain laurel to satisfy his nectar needs. I now have the feeders up...

Phil, so what you are saying is that these are some hitchhiker snail that I picked up from someone. I’ve only introduced dwarf cerith, florida cerith, limpets, nassarius, Stomatella, nerite, zigzag periwinkle, and Mexican turbos. I was thinking that these were babies of either the nerite or...

With two recent posts on flatworms and one on red bugs, I have been overly vigilant in searching the tank for these little creatures. So very late last night I turn on the blue LEDs and the tank is covered with hundreds of very small white little spots….covering the glass and rocks. Didn’t...

Nice summary Phil...and he buys his epoxy directly from All Fix Epoxy: http://www.allfixepoxy.com/servlet/StoreFront

Great Day! Thank you NJRC for a fantastic event.

Happy Birthday Brian….you’re catching up to us old farts. ;D Have a great day!

Bob, the “straw” is submerged, but only about a quarter inch. If it is not submerged, the pressure of the water squirting into the tank draws in air and causes bubbles. So now when the power fails, that approximate quarter inch of water is siphoned into the sump before the tube starts to suck...

Still wanting to just use a “pisser” siphon break, I drilled the hole out to ¼ inch. Still had too many bubbles being drawn into the tank. I know some members have this type of siphon break on their tanks, but I can only guess that the pressure I have is too great. Even with fixing the siphon...

I don’t actually remember the costs, but looking at what is there, here’s a ballpark number. Dimensional lumber $30 1 sheet ¾ 4 x 8 Plywood $30 2 sheets 3/8 4 x 8 Plywood $45 Miscellaneous hardware $20 The doors I made from scrap lumber I had in the shop….3/4 pine with...
