    Phischy's Project-3days to start

    I've done things the wrong way a few times and have lost alot of live stock. I've done so much more research and one of the managers at the best store in town is going to help me out with this project. He set up a 30gal bowfront a few months back and can help me figure all this out step by...

    PVC or ABC piping

    No, the SCWD will remain removeable as they do conk out on occasion. I already own two due to a miscommunication at purchase time but no worries. I'll use PVC then, thanks for the info!

    Phischy's Project-3days to start

    I had thought of doing a sump/fuge but then decided against it. My tank is a 35 gal, not exactly a Nano but DJConn and I go way back anyhow. The tank is actually the same one I had in college when he turned me onto salt water aquariums. It's an Oceanic glass, so I'd have to do alot of other...

    Good movies

    Most recently I saw Spiderman 2, dissappointed. Do not go see the new King Aurthur movie. It sucks from about the 2nd minute on. Cheeseball city. There are a ton of other movies that I want to go see but sadly never enough time.

    PVC or ABC piping

    I'm thinking of doing a manifold for water movement in my tank, my one question is will the glue for either type of plastic posion the water? Obviously it'll be dry before I put it in and the tank is currently empty. I'm just toying with the idea of how to manage my water flow. I'll have a...

    Phischy's Project-3days to start

    Pics! Along with the dimensions I sent my dad the following autocad drawings: I also sent him a few reference images I found on the web for the design/look I was going for. Furniture grade w/ trim and to make it smokin' good lookin'. He also built me a queen sized futon and coffee...

    How to get rid of Caulerpa in a nano??

    Caulerpa spreads not only through regular growth but through vegitative reproduction. Pulling it out is the worst possible way to treat the problem b/c when you pull, little bits may break off and float free. If they gain a foothold somewhere, viola, a new plant will sprout. There are some...

    Posting pictures ..

    DJ Conn is out of the country until July 9th (I believe), at that time when he returns I'm sure he'll be more than happy to sticky the link.

    Where oh where did the Connman go?

    Yeah, it has. DJConn is on vacation and not here to keep things flowing and Flame apparently has run out of bad ideas! Don't worry though, soon I shall be setting my tank up :D . I just sent Pops my schematics for my stand. I'm going to have all my furniture here before August [-o< ...

    Where oh where did the Connman go?

    It sure is quiet now that the Connman is out snorkeling in Central America. From his one post it sounds like he's having fun down there. I went snorkling in La Jolla Cove on Saturday, not a whole lot to see down there, too bad I don't live in Hawaii! Not enough variety here and it certainly...

    SCWD

    SCWD stands for: Swtiching Current Water Direction....or something. Basically it is on the return line from your main pump, it's a small housing that has one inlet and two outlets. Inside the housing is an impeller that spins with the flow from the pump, after so many revolutions it switches...

    Fish/Shrimp MIA

    Are all of your powerheads inlets protected? I lost a scooter goby once when it got too close to an inlet and got sucked in and spit out, instant puree...the other fish and esp the shrimp went crazy. Aside from jumping, that's the only thought I had.

    Central America Trip - any suggestions?

    Yeah, don't get kidnapped!! If anyone stops you, just learn to say, "I am a nacho farmer and I don't like George Bush." en espanole.

    Any Nascar Fans????

    It's all about the left turn. I guess they can't handle right turns, how sad to have that many challeneged people.

    Poison Ivy

    Pee on my back? Hmm....I"d actually consider that. I went to the doc last night and got some skin steroids to help out, like I said, it's freakin' nasty. *itchy itch* e

    Poison Ivy

    Hey *itch* folks, I'm an avid mtn biker and on Monday morning I was up in San Juan Capistrano on a new trail. Short story is, I took *scratch itch* a sharp dogleg left turn too fast *scratch scratch* and my line was too wide, to avoid smacking headfirst into a tree I had to bail. I landed in...

    NBA Playoffs --> Who are you pulling for?

    William Wallace needs to return and take Shaq and Malone out at the knees. That'd be really funny to see a Scot charge onto the court in a kilt and start hacking at the knees of those two with a big ass sword.

    USB cable length

    I think a USB 2.0 would be better at transmitting live images, otherwise you'd have to step upto Firewire. I wasn't aware that youcould hook up a perrephial directly to a wireless router, that's kinda interesting. I'm going to be asking my neighbors if any of them has a modem that I could...
