An advantage of standard tanks are their cheaper price and greater choice in stands. I have a 16 US gallon All-Glass/Aqueon bow front and I only notice distortion when I view the tank from a severe angle when very close to it. If I had the money and space I would get a 72 gallon bow front over...

That's what I did when I dropped my AquaClear. Of course, this is assuming yours doesn't look like an M-80 had its way with it. :rip:

I'll second a digital thermometer. Mine are easy to read and very accurate.

Don't forget about the clam and the skeleton at the wheel. ;)

I'm sure Hawkins meant it to be funny not rude. Kind of like "if you show me yours, I'll show you mine :wub: ". It was just missing one of these ... :-

Next week I'm going to start volunteering some time at a convalescent & rehab center. I offered to help maintain their existing tank that currently has two common plecos. I'm thinking of getting credit for them at my LFS and starting from scratch with angelfish. I think fish with a little...

I'm looking for some input on fish that would be compatible with angelfish in a 55 US gallon (208 L). Something with color would be nice but nothing spazoid :hyper: like danios or pictus cats. Maybe rainbows?

When one thinks there are silent black helicopters hovering over your house at night is where I draw the line of being paranoid. :ninja: ... :lol:

:cool: With your latest cropped image, I see some very nice detail in the beak and eye.

I used to put my fish in a container with ice water or clove oil but now I would put a hammer/mallet to its melon. Short and sweet. It sounds like your gourami would do better in a different environment rather than being terminated because it's not playing nice.

If you are in the U.S., PM me your address and I'll mail you an extra one I have. Or ... an easy way I remember the colors is that robin's egg blue it is 0, and when it looks light purple it is 0.25. In my experience, when it's darker than light purple I have a hard time distinguishing what...

Mars, The Bringer Of War is intense. :devil:

My comment is a little old but I thought I would post it anyway: After you speak with your cousin I would locate a few smaller conference and event centers near you. Find out who does the work you are interested in and ask them if they would be will willing to spare 15-20 minutes maximum for an...

I dig sausage gravy over buttermilk biscuits with a side of fried mush. :)

Very nice Dan. As far as improvements, I would like to see more highlights and shadows.

My last purchased CD was Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace in late 2007. Talk about an incredible CD! :band: Since I started borrowing CD's from my library, I've practically stopped buying CD's.

I can't believe you haven't received more comments. Your pictures are gorgeous. Your composition, cropping and use of color held my attention for a long time.

I like your idea of using two drain trays. They look good although the one on the left looks like it has a smother opening. They remind me of little pies. Mmmmmm .... pie. :drool:

Thanks for the link Mr._Fishy. It looks like a fantastic website. I think I'll start with the Saturn V. A 62" tall, 5.6" diameter rocket should be easy to handle for a beginner, right? ;) By the way, what are you doing with a Wings avatar being that you're in Colorado? You must be a transplant. :D

A little bit of both. I would like to assemble it and try my hand at painting it, fingerprints and all. I also don't think I want one that goes crazy high since I'm not sure if I'll have any chasers.

After handling the bloodworms, be careful not to rub your eyes before washing your hands in case you are allergic to them. I learned the hard way. :X

It's also known as a Hockey Stick Tetra eh. *said with a Canadian accent*

I have to wait until the bubbles pop for me to understand what he's saying. *pop* "Polly wants a grape..." *pop* "...not a pellet."

The last time I launched a model rocket I was a kid in grade school. For some reason I now have the desire to build another one. For those that are into the hobby, can you recommend a good kit for a beginner. Is there anything I should definitely avoid?

I figured that I would push this topic back to the top and share what I borrowed today. Childhood's End -Arthur C. Clark (chosen book for discussion group at library) Mort -Terry Practchett Me of Little Faith -Lewis Black I wish it wouldn't have taken me so long to discover Terry Pratchett...

I guess nobody watched it. :( OK, if you are a fan of early British rock, who do you like?

Lazerus, I don't know what betta experience you have keeping bettas but when I first started keeping them I was given the good advice to add a few soft plants for it to rest on. I can't say that I've had good luck with live plants but to this day I've never killed a silk plant. :-

I'm always the most happiest after I do a water change and a scrub. When the tank looks good, I feel good.

Not at all. The tank is a bit scratched but once you add water it will look fine. It also looks like you have an UGF (under gravel filter) that would work OK with an air pump. I would disregard that feature and since you are relatively limited on space, I would not use an internal filter. I...

I've used an AquaClear 20/mini power filter on a 7 (US) gallon for many years and I was satisfied with its performance. The water flow could be decreased a bit and it would work well with a 5 gallon. Another small power filter option (although it might be too small) could be a Red Sea Nano or...

Did anybody watch VH1 Rock Honors The Who? I enjoyed most of the performances especially Pearl Jam's although I might be in the minority since I thought the Flaming Lips weren't so hot (pun intended). I liked when Sean Pean made a reference to The Who not selling out "unlike certain music...

Here's a picture of a few of my cooper rasboras that I've had for some time. They're only about 1.5".

The smallest fish I have kept was a Scarlet Badis. If I ever tried to keep them again I would have a species only tank since I found it somewhat difficult to feed them with other fish in the tank.

That's an SD card. That will work for Wii saves only. You still need a GameCube Memory Card. edit: added link

When playing a GameCube game on a Wii, you can only save your progress by using a GameCube Memory Card. The Wii internal memory or a SD card is not compatible. I use a Nintendo branded card as well as a third party unit. I've had no problems over the years with the off brand but some people...

I used cotton string (since it was easier to tie than fishing line) but I had to snip it off after some time since it didn't deteriorate at all. I don't have any experience with moss balls. Welcome to the forum emzyp. Don't be shy to ask questions. edit: added welcome

Two favorites that come to mind: Gustav Holst - The Planets Op.32 Mars, the Bringer of War 1914-1916 John Williams - Star Wars: Episode IV - Imperial Attack 1977 Check out Mars, the Bringer of War if you have never heard it before. For the Star Wars geeks out there - I know you're out...

I wonder in the 5 footer if there is a difference in water chemistry, or if there is greater competition for food, stress etc.
