    Storing an empty tank in a unheated garage? Need your input.

    When I tool delivery of my tank from Coast to Coast I was told not to let it get close to freezing or the silicon will weaken. I ran a heater in mine at 65 till I was able to move it into the house.

    I was in the Watchung Home Depot and they have a good amount of 3/4 white Starboard in stock. Was about $56 for a 2x4 piece.

    Espresso - High end

    If my build ever starts ( a few delays on the home construction end) I'll need the boost for the last night plumbing and aquascaping sessions. I realize it's not as good, but just might need to have some decaf on hand.

    Espresso - High end

    I use to think reefers were crazy and obsessive, until I started reading coffee forums... I guess the caffeine has a lot to do with it. Looking at a reef tank is calming, but tasting shot after shot just wires you up!!!

    Espresso - High end

    I was interested if there is any espresso connoisseurs/home or pro barista's out there. I'm finally able to get a prosumer level machine (double boiler) and grinder. I've read all the forums and 101 guides, but I think I'll need some help in dialing in the grinder and just get a few pointers...

    Just got a dumb phone for my 12 yr old

    I did get mine a iPhoneC. Reason was I wanted tracking. AT&T charges about $25 to turn tracking on, for 30 I was able to get her the data plan for iMessage, find friend which I use for tracking, and yes the elimination of the social stigma of not having a dumb phone.

    Insulating Water Change Container

    I'm glad it worked for you. The stuff is pretty amazing for bubble wrap and tin foil. I use it for my Sous-Vide cooking of 12 hr and is able to keep the heat in really well.

    Mike's Dream Build

    I had a few hours to work on the skin: I'm using these crazy strong magnets to hold it to the stand: These magnets are so strong, I have to use a plastic pryer to separate them. I got some skin bought between 2 while trying to get them apart and that wasn't pretty.

    Mike's Dream Build

    So now I have some space in the living room back (all our cabinets were store for 2 months there), I took the liberty to ask one of the contractors to help me move the tank close to it's final resting spot. This was a lot heavier then I though it would be. Directly under the tank is...
