    Aqueon 29 Gallon Tank

    Petco sells thousand of these tanks across the USA and there are nineteen 1 star reviews on this tank in the past year, I would not worry too much about it. Test filling it in a safe location would still be a wise idea. I test filled my new Aqueon 29 gallon tank, no problems. I also have a new...

    The Truth about Tiger Barbs and why you should NOT buy aquarium or farm grown.

    Google is your friend, it is so easy to research any fish these days. Just about ready to filled my 75 gallon tank, I plan on getting ~20 Tiger barbs in it.

    Coronavirus...post your thoughts here...

    Because I am high risk person concerning COVID-19 ie: much higher chance I will die if infected. It's scary but still safe as the mRNA has a very short life span and will be quickly gone from your body. A strand of mRNA will produce protein spikes on one cell then it done.

    The BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine is very different from typical vaccines where they grow the virus in eggs, it is based on mRNA technology. But mRNA is a bit scary, it will grow the coronavirus's protein spikes in your body which you immune system locate and kill. But I will take it today if offered.

    What are you getting yourself for Christmas?

    Long ago I got my kids a slot car set for Christmas. Unfortunately we also had Porsche Unleashed video game on our computer with a force feedback steering wheel. The slot car was quite lame compared to driving a 911 thru the Alps on the computer.

    Can these fish live together and minimum space

    Is this based on research or just an assumption based on their native habitat? Someone once said you can't fight evolution but a key factor in evolution is the ability of a species to adapt to changing/different environments. You just can't assume that a specific fish needs water condition from...

    Drift wood problem!

    what I read... Bleach, rinse then let it dry out. At ambient temperature, Chlorine is a gas. When the wood drys out, any remaining chlorine will gas out. I cannot give you any supporting studies/links on this. I did discuss this with our tenant, a PhD chemistry student who basically said that...

    In normal years, the common cold and influenza are mutation of an existing virus strain found in humans. Typically in pandemic years, a new strain of virus comes from another species such as bats. Current research has identified bats as the host for COVID-19, there is a ~94% DNA match between...

    90 gal acrylic with bulkheads placed weird.

    For a sump, you would need overflows installed for all the large holes. I assume the small pipes are return lines, those would not work for a sump ie: lose power and the tank could completely drain out. The owner may have used some type of canister filter with values on all the lines. my...

    Spalders ask: "Why does such a deadly virus only require a face covering? Not a "specific" face covering, any old rag will do." Actually N95 mask are the best. The virus expelled from your body in small droplet of water (or an aerosol) which can be stopped with a cloth mask. "If a face mask...

    Which is Caribou crap. If initially infected with a large viral load, the virus could be killing millions of cells in your lungs which can kill a healthy person. A person with an underlying conditions such as asthma could be healthy one day, dead a week later from COVID. The only difference...

    I admire your Prime Minister, Ms. Ardern, I would gladly trade Trump and a pacific island to be named later for her :) But to be fair, New Zealand is already a isolated island and was easy to cut off from the world. New Zealand also benefits by being close to Australia which is doing quite...

    Happy Halloween...are you watching a horror movie tonight?

    No horror movie for me, I fell asleep on the couch around 9pm, and now I am up 4:30am :) It was nice to see a few group of trick&treaters, we put candy in bags and did a little self serve prop. I projected a scary witch on our front door using a cheap movie projectors and screen. But it was...

    I was thinking too much on that one, I was thinking about the Ides of March as the word ides means divide in latin, we are quite divided these day. But that date would be 15/3/2020

    Fire Extinguisher for co2?

    Can you find cheap co2 fire extinguisher and can they be refilled? I did find a 5 LB. STEEL CO2 CYLINDER – RECONDITIONED for $40 online ($12 shipping for me). It has been recertified which mean it can be refilled for another 5 years before needed recertification.

    Too many variables concerning masks. My wife is a nurse and had to get fitted and tested for a N95 mask, how well it fits on your face is a major factor.

    I highly doubt the USA will achieve herd immunity without a vaccine, that would require ~260 million people getting the virus. We current have 8.5 million cases. Currently there are two Americas right now. Where I live, western New York, the vast majority are wearing mask and new cases are high...

    Agreed, not good. This is the second wave, we may hit 100,000 cases in a couple weeks. As the quote say, Trump may be done with the virus but clearly the virus is not done with us.
