My pop called me at lunch, he was having a beer on his porch. The hurricane is down to a Cat 4 and tracking east. he said in Katy they're expecting 45 to 50mph winds, a far cry from getting hit with the worst of a Cat 5. So I'm relaxed now. The people about to take it are eastern houston...

Just got news from the parents. They're riding the storm out. They've fortified their home and gridlock has shut the city down. Apparently it took someone they know 6hrs to get from Sugarland to Katy. They're getting a few last minute supplies but intend on staying since they don't feel like...

What's worse is the weather forcasters are saying we're in a higher than normal period so we can expect more hurricanes to hit the US anywhere from a few years to a few decades. Imagine this happening 4 to 4 times per year! Hurricane season doesn't end until Nov 30th either. As bad as...

What book are you reading?

Where in So cal? I live in San Diego and can talk to you more if you're near me.

Holy Schnikies, she's a Cat 5 now! This thing has blown up today, I hope she loses steam. Worse comes to worse guys, get the hell outta dodge. :sad:

I spoke to my folks this morning. They're making tracks for Austin tomorrow evening. They expect the 3hr drive to last 12. They're more worried about wind damage since they live in an old planted pine stand and so they boarded up the windows to prevent limbs etc.. from coming through the...

Somewhere in TX a village is missing it's idiot. As much as I despise the Bushtard, I don't really blame him for the fallout of Katrina. That was a massive screwup on both the Mayor and Gov of LA's part. And just think, Katrina MISSED N.O.! But didn't Bush appoint Brown to the head of...

I know there are a bunch of Texas reefers on this board. Ya'll prepping for what may be a whalloping by H. Rita? Looks like she's gonna get up to Cat 4 and the entire TX coast line is her prime target, although nothing will be known for sure for another 24 to 36hrs. My folks in Katy TX are...

Only a 10% H2O change 1x per month? I let my H2O lapse and maybe that's why my c canes and open green brain died, but they seemed to wilt away. I'm running 220PC over my tank and I thought that would be enough to keep LPS, and it should but I haven't forayed back into it. My rics seem to...

Mike, with my 40 I'm running a Very low maintence tank. I'm still having issues with keeping LPS. So I've got a big variety of shrooms, zoas and other softies. Three fish and that's about it. I do a 5 gallon water change once a week and I probably go through 5 or so gallons a week in top off...

My camera is down right now. So no pics. I'm working on getting that issue resolved. Right now I've got to deal with coraline algea growing all over my acrylic in the front. The magnet scrubber doesn't do squat. I need an acrylic safe scraper. I may be moving into cheaper digs shortly...

They weren't That bad. And all the bugs are gone. Although I do have occasionaly outbreaks of flat worms.

Sorry, I haven't done much to my tank in a long while. Everything is sort of just growing out at it's incredibly slow pace. The thing that sucks is the battery in my canon digicam expanded and I haven't been able to get a replacement to see if it's just a bad battery or if the camera is fried...

Nice tank. Couple of things I noticed or have questions about. I have an acrylic tank with the standard bracing on the top. It gets covered in salt creep and that reduces my light penetration when it's crudded up. Do you have the same problem with that glass top? Also, since you're...

Ok, was doing something on the tank today when I noticed the water in my sump was warm. Not good. I reached back and found the thermostat on my heater was set to 90 degrees!!!! Not quite sure how that happened but it sure would explain the high temps I've been getting lately. Actually, I...

I finally got around to adding a 160mm Ice Cap fan for my hood and it makes a huge difference! Temps are now solid at 80d. I'm hoping this is the issue I've been having with LPS that the tank has just been getting too warm for them. The only one I have left is my open green brain who was...

Shook, show him the nice cozy all glass condo of his own, complete with built in whirlpool. Once he moves in, plug it in and his "Puree" or "Ice Crush". ha! I had a mantis in mine, he wouldn't budge, so I walled him in Mob style. He's the only permanent member of my tank.

I just watched the origional video. Huh...that was horrible. It is nice to see that other countries have sorry ass boy-bands as well. And for the record, men sould NEVER wear white pants.

I'm starting to consider upgrading to MH lighting. But I'm a total noob at this. I do have a 40 gal tank that's 21" deep. It is acrylic and has a support in the middle. My stand is custom and 30" wide in the canopy. I want to keep LPS/softies, no real desire at this time to get into SPS...
