    Need feedback on this 120-gallon tank

    I hate when people say the water is perfect rather than actually report what the water contain (gh/kh/tds/whatever); btw water is never perfect it is just sometime better than other times. A couple of comments: Don't be shocked if those loaches hunt down the shrimps and they are small enough...

    You could try water cooling but i don't think it is worth the cost. The 50x are being released soon so hopefully after they hit the market the 40x (which are being discontinued) will be less expensive. Some designs are just bad and we have to accept that - having said that i know nothing about...

    We are going to have to disagree with mechanical drives. Of course if what you do rarely access the disk it doesn't really matter ;)

    All of this can be easily answered if Gary provides the computer model #. I already mentioned the ssd might be solder in (almost all chrome books have ssd; life is unbearable with mechanical drives - esp lap top drives which are slow as a turtle on land - (hint anyone with an ancient laptop and...

    Plant suggestion for a bald spot?

    An itsy bitsy pinto anubia. of course a lot depends on your water chemistry. After all what we put in hard water isn't the same as what we would plant in soft water.

    Honda is pretty close to the only car i'll drive; love the way they hug the road; mazda is a close 2nd (mazda 3); great car but the center isle is a bad fit for my legs. I had a 95 acura integra (civic with a nice body); So i went 20 years without a car when i lived in the city and then test...

    Gary - ignore what it sez about the battery; try to run it off the plug. In the worse case you can pull the hard drive (probably an ssd) and put it in a new machine; as long as you don't reset it and it isn't solder in ;) If the battery is a removable type i'd remove it and run it off the plug.

    Is it plugged in ? I'm confused - even if the battery is dead if you plug it in it should turn on unless there is a short.

    The yoyo tank

    If the clowns are clown loaches they can live with proper care 40+ years. He will be mighty old and grey then.

    My Dad had a dodge once; a lovely little red car; it lasted until the bottom rusted out but then he continue to drive it - he just had to make sure that if his foot wasn't on the peddle it wasn't on the road. Then my sister drove it and that little ol dodge dart couldn't dodge the big tree she...

    The yoyo tank

    My guess is kuobtai; he really shouldn't be solo which is why he is probably frantic. He should be with a group of his tank mates. I believe they are a little bit smaller than yoyo but not a lot and yea for 5 you really need a 48 inch long aquarium so 55 or larger. Well maybe a 33 long but to be...

    I tossed in some plants this morning; i think i put in too much driftwood because there just isn't enough room for plants. Maybe i should have used a larger aquarium - you know something that is 72 long 30 wide and 14 high would have been nice. Well if you send me one i'll try to find space for...

    The anal fin looks wrong unless it was torn or the image is distorting it in some fashion.

    Ok Canada… you guys can keep your forest fire smoke…

    There are a few folks who do have a genetic critic mass but yes - while i keep a couple and do go to the effort to breed them it isn't enough genetic diversity long term. I guess we would need a nice amazon river that runs through the backyard to do a proper job; of course the cost of heating...

    Ok Canada… you guys can keep your forest fire smoke…

    While an old thread it was not really necessary since one could huff and puff and blow the smoke back to where it came from... Having said that Brazil is going to have serious ecology problems; i'm really dreading the number of species of dwarf cichild; some never seen by man; are going to go...

    I'm pretty sure he can't push it over - he has to pray to the wind god to create a gush that pushes it over ;) There is a difference between human intervention that causes the tree to fall and acts of nature. You talk about providences in canada but you only have a few of those - we in the good...

    To be honest the law is really funky. If i buzz you with a drone in your backyard; you can shoot it down but then you owe me the cost of the drone. If you plant a tree in my yard; i can chop it down but then i owe you the cost of the tree. If you go out of a town for a month and i move into...

    So i tweaked the drift wood slightly and put in a few test plants i had 'laying' around. Tuesday the plants for this aquarium will arrive and i'll make the finale configuration when i plant them - probably wednesday or thursday. - I did throw a light on it - a ai freshwater blade30 - this is...

    I've been to sydney - i got punched by a kangaroo and saw a shark bite someone who was surfboarding. Ok only part of this is true i'll let you figure out the truth of the matter. To be honest i prefer compenhagen and amsterdam to sydney - it had to do with enjoying the history of the older...

    Nothing interesting; a very early conceptual conferencing software - this was 30 years ago. It had to do with implementation detail around multi-plexiing X to multiple computers so you could share screens. By today standards vastly outdated.

    Yea that is a perk; went to amsterdam to present a paper was a lot of fun; my dad was a big wig in research and must have visited over 50 countries - japan and china were multiple trips (he was a medicine so nothing of military interest ;) ); i made one non-academic trip to Japan and i doubt i...

    If i could move anywhere it would be the boulder region - maybe a little north past long-mont; some place where i could enjoy the mountain, clean air and less traffic.

    So i'm running out of time and went through the closet (after i cleaned the 500, 600 and pair of 200 as well as the 29 and 10) and found a few more pieces. I had these unused slates: The one on the right is very flat - maybe 1/4 inch thick the one on the left is about 2+ inches high - sadly the...
