Heading there tomorrow. I called to check that they had the inventory....and they did. And I'll definitely check out the whole store. Thanks again.

Bob, thanks for the heads up. I'm in need of salt, and an unnamed LFS in north Jersey use to have IO for $35 for 200g box. When I call they told me it's now 55. Even though Something Fishy is a drive for me, buying 5 or 6 boxes makes it worthwhile. Thanks again.

Sid, a blast from the past....don't want to hijack Paul's thread. Maybe start you're own post or post in the "welcome" thread.....you're new again.

The polls suggest the Neanderthals have a chance of taking over again! Let's hope not. I like my microwave and don't want to step backwards.

The best way would be a wet saw....either a bandsaw such as a Gryphon or a table saw, such as a tile saw. Second best would be a 4 1/2 grinder with a diamond blade (ca $20-25) or a Dremel with a diamond cutoff blade. The one potential issue with the Dremel is that it might not cut all the way...

If I didn't already have these exact two tanks, I'd be snatching them up in a New York minute. As far as storage, I keep mine outside behind my back fence....for the last ten years or so...and that's not an issue. I'm sure you can find a spot to keep them....under a deck, behind a fence...

My guess is too much suction. Here's my setup of Pump, Pipe and Hose. Originally used the Python hose, but it was too long and eventually went with this short section of hose. Use the pump to empty 25 gallons into a 32 gallon Brute....and then use the pump to pump fresh saltwater back into...

Most definitely. For the longest time I started the siphon on my Python by submerging the first 2-3 feet into the tank and then pinching the tubing and quickly pulling out the tubing, leaving the open end under water. I do 25 gallons on a water change and got too impatient waiting for the...

Great post Paul. A deja vu moment for me. Growing up we had milk (in glass bottles), beer, seltzer and potato chips and pretzels delivered to the house, with the empties picked up to be washed and refilled. My comic book collection was from perusing the neighborhood and collecting...

Camel Shrimp from Liveaquaria

Here's a list of "peppermint" shrimp. They all supposedly eat aiptasia, but the best bet is with "A". Also, the Camel Shrimp has been mistaken as a peppermint. I'll see if I can find a picture of a camel.

Yep, looks to be a standard 120mm x 25 mm computer fan, the most common fan used in LED lights. I typically buy a multi-pack because it's a common replacement item. HERE is but one example from eBay. Can't vouch for the plug in because I always cut and solder the wires.

There is one other potential issue with locally collected snails.....swimmer's itch. We had a member years ago who collected local snails. He wondered why he always had rashes, with some requiring visits to the hospital. For the longest time he blamed palytoxins. But after one emergency...

Up at the lake house in upstate NY last night....a little prime rib still on the spit. What's missing is the smell-a-vision.....the aroma was to die for.

It's not so much your ears, but your neighbors and your local town ordinances. My town allows chickens at residential homes, but no roosters.

I am no expert, but those two photos look like a young Rhode Island Red ROOSTER!!! Now I'm wondering how many cock-a-doodle-doo's before we've having chicken dinner? The only good news is that they don't start vocalizing until about 4 to 5 months....enough time to find some nice recipes. :oo:

Looks like the tentacles of a spaghetti or hair worm. Either way, it's a good thing.

Had some friends over last night and cooked up ten of these little guys:

I've got a 100 gallon you can borrow, but I'm in Sayreville. Might have to play with the bulkhead to seal it up.
