    the worst name for this product !! haha

    One that I always think of was a diet plan called AYDS. In the early 80's they hit with big TV adervertising. Then the disease AIDS was discovered around 85. The diet company pretty much folded immediately after.

    Heater help 08701

    My heater plan in any tank is 2 half rated heaters and controller. Been doing this since starting hobby, feels foolproof, but I'm sure there are a lot of ways to shoot holes in it, but its the logic I go by. If interested here's the plan and rationale: Find heater requirement in watts, divide...

    PS4 - Dark Anthology games review

    So, I'm a casual gamer. Most recent pick ups are Miles Morales and CP2077 (which seems to run OK on the PS4 Pro). Back in 2015, Supermassive games put out a game called Until Dawn. It was a horror with a good story and played like a choose your own adventure book. I really enjoyed it and...

    Is that on Letgo? I'll give him a call tomorrow. Salt, lemme know if interested in the 4 bulb unit. If not, we can work out a split buy on the 6 bulb unit.

    Any 36 inch t5 fixtures?

    Holy expletive Batman! I just ordered 4 new bulbs for my 36 and it put me back $90. If both you guys are going to pass, lemme know, I'll take it. Or we can do a split buy - I dont need the unit, just some bulbs for the future, and I'm in Brick so its an easy pick up).

    Any 36 inch t5 fixtures?

    Saw Max's post and thought that the one I have is a 4 bulb. Don't know if that works for you. And $200 for a 6 bulb is great.

    Any 36 inch t5 fixtures?

    Sort of. I have one from another member that is not being used. No tank legs, but can be hung or ingeniously mounted. Lemme see if he/s OK with me passing it on. The 36" fixtures are almost impossible to find now a days outside the hybrids.

    Fish room build “this is the way”

    Lion's cove 40 gallon breeder

    It was an acciden that'll work out for you. Did a few of these, and if you keep the overflow under the plastic rim the water level in the tank seems way too low visually. I always cut through the moulding and ran the overflows high, exactly as you have em, and the water level is much more...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Grew up on the Lone Ranger in reruns. Think it was on after Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom on Sunday mornings, but before Zorro. Fairly sure I recall Tonto's horse being called Scout. If I'm wrong, I owe many triva point back from over the years. But regardless, I share one of my favorite jokes...
