    Oldman is back!

    Hi everyone! I just finished up a long contract in Canada and am back now. Well, sort of. I just gave my tank away but I do have a need. The friend I passed my pair of snowflakes to have already mated and laid eggs. This is the second pair that's done that. However, previous batches didn't...

    need help with clown eggs

    So I gave a couple ocellaris clowns to a friend who inherited a small biocube tank. That was about 2-3 months ago. Well they mated. And laid eggs. And they're about to hatch any day! I actually thought the clowns were going to eat the first batch or two, but color me WRONG. So what advice...

    Couldn't wait for Canon any longer...

    I'm now the proud owner of a Canon 7D. I've been borrowing my sister-in-law's T2i and boy, what a difference in feel. The 7D makes me feel like a great photographer. Maybe I should just stop there and leave it on a high note! thing of beauty. Now if I can only find a tokina 11-16 for under...

    The Beginning

    I am one to get passionate about many things, but this one topic has gotten me fired up more than any. It's criminal what we have allowed our education system to become. I've only just watched the trailer to Waiting for Superman, because I didn't know it was a documentary on the education...

    Recommendation for biocube 29 skimmer

    I'm trying to decide between the Bubble Magus QQ that The Fish Gallery looks like they modded to fit into the center chamber of their biocube. Or should i go with the Aquaticlife 115, Aqua Maxx HOB-1, or some other that you have used. The small chambers really limit my options here.

    Lobsters

    Picked up a blue lobster and a zebra lobster from City Pets earlier today. They don't like each other. The blue shows up "nuclear" on my camera phone. Here's the zebra acting like Charlie in the forest, waiting for big blue to prance by.

    2 good movies

    Saw Avengers 3 times already. And took the kiddos to see Battleship. Went in with low expectations and came out with 8 thumbs up. It was very entertaining especially if you have history with the military in any way. Both movies worth spending the outrageous cost of admission and $5 bottles...

    Eggs. I guess I'll play too since everyone else is laying them

    Completely unexpected but it looks like my maroons have been doing the nasty. I don't know what to do with 'em, so if it's worth it to anyone, lemme know.

    Question about full frame versus cropped

    This might sound obvious but lenses are rated for full frame cameras correct? For instance, if I get a 10-22mm lens, the full frame will be truly 10-22 whereas a 1.6x cropped like a 7D would essentially treat it like a 16-39mm?

    Appropriate flooring for fish room

    So I had a client that recently closed on a house and he put in ceramic hardwood flooring, mainly because he wanted the hardwood look with the durability of ceramic. He has large dogs running around and he didn't want the wood all scratched up. Has anyone seen this type of flooring before and...

    Replacing thermostat or heating element from LG dryer

    My dryer blows air but there is no longer any heat. Some appliance shop charged me $40 to give me useless information so now I doubt he really tested the heating element and thermostat. So after losing $100 trying to replace the main control board, which he said was the likely problem, I'm...

    TDS testing

    We are usually so hung up on ensuring that our water changes are done with 0 TDS water. Has anyone bothered measuring the TDS level in your tank? I did yesterday and it said 857 x5 (or 10). I was so shocked at how high the number was I can't even recall what the multiplier was. So the...
