    Those anyone know anyone whom has this display

    Sorry, I can't really comment on that setup. I do have a concern about the tank, though. That size tank is going to be very difficult to aquascape. It's so narrow that it would be hard to make it work for one sided viewing. I hve no idea how you'd going about stacking rock to make it work from...

    Happy Birthday Debfife!

    Happy Birthday Debbie. Thanks for all of you help "behind the scenes"! If anyone has ever wondered how meetings just seem to "happen" month after month without any hiccups, that's all Debbie! Keep up the good work.

    Tang ID?

    Good job of sleuthing everyone! I think you've nailed them down. They're both really nice looking fish.

    Happy Birthday JohnS

    Thanks all! And just because I broke my hip when I sneezed this morning doesn't mean I'm getting old!

    Found crack in tank during setup

    Francis (sinkingbeach) had a 170 or something like that with huge chunks taken out of the corners. The thing looked terrible and still worked for him for years. I think Renee actually has that tank set up now. Ya never know, it may hold, it may not but it's worth filling just to check it out.

    Water Transfer Question

    I'm not sure. I guess it all depends what the pumps and hose were used for previously and if they are SW safe. For the price of maxijet and 20' of 1/2" hose I don't know that I'd chance it. That's just me and probably explains why I have a dozen spare pumps and enough hose to top off your tank...

    Water Transfer Question

    Get a pump and some hose. A mag 5 or 7 and 3/4" vinyl tube would work well. If you want to go smaller scale, a maxijet 1200 and some 1/2" hose would also work.

    Found crack in tank during setup

    I'm not so sure I agree with this. If you're positive that you didn't damage it during transit, I would go back to the seller. I think they have some responsibility to let you know of any damage. It's kind of hard to see from the pic whether or not you'd have any trouble with it. You can try...

    Wingsuit BASE Jumping

    I'm trying to start a grass roots effort to make it the new club logo! Greg, I was wondering how they blasted those skis off. The thing I find funny is that while all of the focus is on the guy flying, there some poor schlub with camcorder following right behind!

    Wingsuit BASE Jumping

    You wouldn't even need a parachute Matt. As long as there's a body of water at the bottom, you're all set! I'll take any excuse I can get to ressurect this pic

    Yeah, that too! ;D

    Wingsuit BASE Jumping

    As awesome as that looks, there's no way in the world my brain would let me jump off that ledge!

    Bye bye reef

    Nope, they're probably thriving in it! Those are some pretty crazy pics. The power of nature is amazing.

    Pacquiao vs Hatton MAY 2, 2009

    I agree completely, except I don't see it going past round 6 or 7. Hatton is a true warrior (actually, they're two of my favorite fighters right now) but Pacquiao has transformed himself into a tactically accurate ANIMAL. The guy has speed and power and knows how to finish off an opponent. He's...

    Stand

    That's really funny. I saw this thread here and thought "OK, that's kind of a strange post!" Apparently, when you uploaded it to the gallery it automatically created the post. That's a "feature" that you can trigger by clicking the right series of buttons but I have no idea exactly how to do...

    what should I use to hold frag plugs and disks to rock

    It works GREAT underwater. Here is the procedure we use (quoted from another thread):

    what should I use to hold frag plugs and disks to rock

    Reef epoxy with "crazy glue" gel mixed in with it is the best that I've found. It works quickly and effectively. I've posted the procedure a few times before. If you're interested in it, let me know and I'll dig it up.

    T5 vs MH

    If you're concerned about being able to keep SPS with just T5's, take a look at the Full Tank Shots in THIS thread. This tank is kept with all T5's and is ridiculous. I'm not guaranteeing similar results because she's got an unbelievably green thumb but it can be done.

    Dream Tank - 4000 Gallons

    Just think of the poor sap who eventually is going to have to take that monster down! I've been a number of large tank tear downs, in the 400 to 500g range, and they were A LOT of work. I can't imagine the amount of work and mess that thing is going to leave behind.
