    When a Blessing Becomes A Curse

    I have a catfish tank that has sand on the bottom so I can't use my python hose for water changes. And I have a maxi-jet 1200 powerhead clamped to a piece of siphon hose with a t valve at the end so that the water doesn't come straight out hose but is divided and doesn't disturb sand. I do have...

    The dogs and I hid in the office, fireworks on all sides, and I mean professional grade within half a block, didn't seem to bother cats or fish. The last boom a bit after 1. Happy New Year. We have a drought so I watered yesterday evening, I guess they were careful no fires.

    I read Cockatoo and instantly visualized a tall white bird. Congrats. As for me I need to finish a sewing machine, cabinet is ready, and I have almost got all my passwords and stuff in the new phone. I just removed sim from my old phone and moved it over, it came with a tool.

    What are you doing today?

    I found a cell phone cheap yesterday, have to go to ATT and get a sim card for it. My 4 year old Samsung's power button is failing and if I had to make a phone call, the odds on it turning on to let me do so are pretty near zip. Found a motorola to try. I expect to spend the day learning to...

    thoughts on the lower end of the temperature's scale, on gouramis???

    AI is dumb. I know people that followed AI sewing machine repair instructions. Results not good. Grateful I have kept my best fish books and hobby books. The dumb down is intensive

    Adequate lighting for deep tanks

    Kind i used over the reef are long gone. Dual tube 48 inch t8 that would handle actinic lights for my reef, those are gone. They were $20 apiece, would hang above tank, but i mounted in a hood and the extra reflector was helpful. Now for $36 you get a single tube hanging fixture, or you get...

    Adequate lighting for deep tanks

    The effect of lights and pumps

    my 2 cents worth. I take care of a 100 gallon tank in the cafeteria of an office building with glass tops, a dual T5 flourescent fixture on top of the glass, and a wooden canopy that hides the fixture. tank is more deep than wide, only 5 ft long I think. I gave up and removed the heater years...
