It's a weird winter here too. 70F yesterday. In January! The only traveling I'll be able to do is vicariously so I hope you'll document your trip well and post it here! Africa....man what a trip! Oh and don't forget to bring back something interesting for my tall tank.:fish:

Hmm, apparently my attention to detail is somewhat lacking. I will blame the lack of coffee, having run out yesterday and forgetting to pick some up on the way home. Not the first time I've been a complete idiot! Nevermind!

Pineapple on veggie pizza, pineapple on philly pizza, pineapple on oatmeal meatloaf..... Like the Franks ad says, I put that **** on everything!

Well the Pats lost their bye.....😛 Still, I'm confident the Donkeys will choke as usual in the playoffs. Probably against the Chargers! 🤣

I've never kept an aquarium outside but it seems to me the sealant would be more of a concern than the glass itself. They're a little pricey but a heat pump would solve that issue and provide oxygenation. I'd be more concerned about what finds its way into the tank. Back when I had property I...

Thank you, you may have nailed it on your first attempt! I've kept teddies but Micropoecilia may be just the ticket! I'd mostly given up on live bearers because they're so prolific and that comes with its own set of problems. I'll research these to see if they're a good fit but I really, really...

Hmmm, the bows seem to get cranked out pretty regularly. Maybe all the air spent blowing that fancy flugelhorn is leaving you tired and breathless? 🤪 TBH I'd go with what the Badgerling likes. She'll be a teenager soon if she isn't already and, well, you know what they say about payback. Angry...

I should invest in one of those, maybe one of the solar versions. I always buy the cheapest battery I can find and they tend to fail at the most inconvenient times. Plus good jumper cables are bulky and take up a lot of space. Once the lift is installed I hope he'll let you use it to cannonball...

That's the thing. A long tank is much easier to stock! If salt I'd like to try Synchiropus lateralis or Cleidopus gloriamaris; for fresh Allodontichthys polylepis or a Alabama Sturgeon. In the past I've gotten around the height issue (the 16 gallon was taller than it was wide too) with keeping...

First, a little background, because if I don't add enough words well then this post would just be all fluff, wouldn't it? For some 20+ years my basement was my fish room, where I kept 32 tanks for breeding (or attempting to breed) whatever struck my fancy, salt or fresh. Needless to say with...

I've never kept either one but if my wallet wasn't choosing it'd be P Brevis. They're so close I don't think you could go wrong either way!

Hydrogen peroxide is the generally recommended fix, meaning you'd have to pull each affected plant for a approx. 3 minute dip. I've read claims that you can dose the entire tank safely with 10ml per 15 gallons but I wouldn't want to risk any livestock. If you can rehome them temporarily then...

Not even a week in and we've already got the Thread Title of The Year! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny how this was never an issue when we used metal halides or fluorescents. At least the Nicrews are cheap! How about a tube fixture on a timer?

That sounds fine to me! Except for the cottage cheese part. I might use ricotta instead. Btw pineapple is delicious in cottage cheese.🔥 To be completely honest I am no cook. Some of the dishes you guys have posted look amazing but I don't have the patience to go to such lengths. Unless we're...
