The leap from tungsten to tubes was huge in efficiency. The move from that to LEDS is much much less and one has to factor in capital cost. Given the under "spec-ing" of components in your standard LED product and the actual MTBF/replacement cost I know I'm not saving so far. I won't be...

They are legislating many of the florescent tubes out so people that want to stick with what they have may want to stock up.

Vey pretty fish. I can't get my head around how many tanks it must take to separate the fish and see if they breed true. How does one even do it at all. How much can you tell about a female genes until she has offspring?

There is an overall tendency to exceed LED specifications by product manufacturers because they will tolerate it for a short time and it save them money. And some LED makers fib a bit

Guppy Endler cross according to the seller

The long forked tail of my Japan Blue does absolutely nothing to alleviate the irritation of the females. Astonishingly fast swimmer, not sure every manipulation to the genetics is harmful.

So 30 years later I'm still using this: cheap, works, probably made for fuel siphoning davros the frugal aquarist

A shame. about the loach. We learned the need for a generator long ago living in northern climes, even if it seems to be very urban and protected. Fireplaces and woodstoves are also high the list of essentials. Don't forget to keep a few gallons of fuel 'cuz when the power is lost that means...

Got a 70's vibe going in your tanks? Paisley? Purple striped bellbottoms?

Some of that " moonshiners" show is interesting. I wonder what they have worked out with enforcement since they are filming these guys while they are "cooking" their special beverages...

Rocky?

Very nice tank . The sticker on the back of the phone is intriguing, chicken? dinosaur?

There are people that keep fish in (gasp) 5 gallon tanks :o well, the title is UNpopular

Badger senior- 90's are much more restrictive that two 45s in series

My wife has a SWMBO hat, with my complimentary GALLOOT hat for those that eschew powered tools.

So "my ding-a-ling" is out?

A wild type that needs no improvement as far as looks go 💛

Yes clearly YOUR 6 pack is internal! (as is mine,, noticed it has shifted over the years)

Cool -seems a bit slim on content, this seems better: https://inaturalist.ca/taxa/564145-Stygiomedusa-gigantea

Is the powerhead immersed?

You had a big power head for it? I'm surprised - must be the leaks

Wife just pointed out this to me, his stuff sells for 20K...

I hate that it says "mold free' implies a fungicide however internet sleuthing suggests a number of sites say it is safe eg:https://reefersdirect.com/best-aquarium-silicones/

LOL- Did we just see one yank another off the food?

Got a couple of "wild" endlers. They only had males so I guess I'll move some of the Japan Blue females in with them and see what evolves...

Winter isn't fun to drain rads, recover anitfreeze etc. ( my Arizona buddies can't seem to wrap their heads around the whole antifreeze thing). There are simple battery terminal ends that clamp on, otherwise you do need a hydraulic press.

Maybe not unpopular but disturbing: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/12/ohio-woman-marbled-crayfish-invasive-species

I'm trying to figure out how you possibly had a shortage of mutt guppies :)

Rescuing guppy fry from the filter....and stuffing foam in the intake slots of the filter..

I don't particularly like trees poking thru the top of my tank :o 🔝🚫

NIce tank! Are you heating or running at room temperature?

Best dog we ever had was a setter on the mother's side and an unknown father who enjoyed a dalliance when mum escaped one day. Gentle, would play with an ant without harm, yet protect and loved to help chase Raccoons away, would follow your lead explicity. Would sit and carefully watch you do...

If you have concerns about fur a standard poodle is a good sized dog and fairly smart. Even better is a labradoodle, they do seem to have the best of both lineages.

Canada has been so good at spaying and neutering that even our mixed puppies sell for big bucks. A family member got suckered into a Caribbean rescue operation in Ottawa and what was described to them as a "coconut lab" (I kid you not) turned out to be a whippet-ish ( read fast) paranoid thing...

The plays in question were look like they will be used in referee school as tricky tests, room for interpretation

Even the 30-somethings in the house were not impressed. Cavorting in snowsuits? Great Game tho- unusual for a superbowl.

Happy for you both !( it was what the rest of us guessed btw :) )
