    Things we shouldn't keep - successes and failures.

    I've usually had good luck with the Copperband, it's my favorite fish and I dote on it a little. Yet I have seen it on many people's non-no list and was recently told by an LFS employee in NJ that they stopped selling them, "because people can't keep them alive." Yet with yellow longnose...

    MP3s to The Receiver?

    That looks pretty close to what I'm looking for. Cool.

    MP3s to The Receiver?

    Yes, the Xbox does the same trick, with some limitations (like 1,000 songs). Works great, sees the PC... But ahah! I have cleverly excluded all game consoles from the living room setup so the wife and I can actually use the TV occasionally... ::)

    MP3s to The Receiver?

    AV Geek Man, Help! I am trying to find the best way to play my huge (legal) MP3 collection over my home theater receiver. I thought I was being clever and bought a DLNA-Compliant NAS Drive (Iomega) but that's only one piece of the puzzle. (although now I can look at all my digital photos on my...

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Cool Critter! I was at an LFS and they had this unusual pair -- a pink cucumber with a little crab "friend" (pest, helper, parasite?) I took some pictures in the bag because I was sure I'd never see it once it crawled into the rocks, but actually it's been out in the open a lot. The crab hangs...

    Jumping Wrasse Lands on His...Tail!

    He was out when I got home. Outside of a slightly torn up tail where I grabbed him, he was none the worse for his harrowing experience! :D

    Jumping Wrasse Lands on His...Tail!

    At least once I add some netting I can get one of those Solarensis wrasses I wanted. My last one, years back, became a brightly colored corpse on the carpet.

    Jumping Wrasse Lands on His...Tail!

    No sign of him at the morning feeding. I suspect he's laying low, like he did when I first got him. After all, it must be mind-blowing when you realize you're not really living on the reef...it's an artifical construct, made to contain you, and keep you happy and productive...it's THE MATRIX.

    Jumping Wrasse Lands on His...Tail!

    I was looking into my tank just as the lights went out, and I heard a *splish* and a wet *smack* -- my first jumper. My "yellow coris" wrasse hit the wall behind the tank and ended up on the floor, right in the middle out of reach. He was probably on the floor for 3 minutes while I tried to grab...

    New Club Tank?

    It's a lot smaller, but this would have sorely tempted me if I saw it when I was tank shopping...

    Buying Trex

    Cool thanks. Park Union was really snotty, acted like the stuff was too much trouble.

    new acquisition

    WOW, that is one cool critter. It looks more like a creepy space alien than anything I've ever seen, except an actual creepy space alien!

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Seems like a good reason to get a full set of tax-deductible Hach test kits!

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    I always thought you must do some testing for your bizness. Do you just do the drilling part?

    new to the site

    Wow, a great-looking setup. Welcome to the club. Watch out that those green star polyps don't take over your rocks; they can be pretty agressive.

    Buying Trex

    Thanks for the offer. I'm afraid they'd kill me on delivery up to Morris County!

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Thanks! The tank works out to be around 215G, I've got a 40 breeder as a sump on the back end. That's a heck of a thing, ain't it? I don't. I'm trying to dose conservatively, so I don't have issues, but I know what you mean. When you see the effect potassium has, there's a real temptation to...

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Coral Pix Here's a few pics to document some of the process I've been making with my coral colors. It's a slow process, but at least it's progress! Heres my new efflo. All that purple edging happened recently, plus the "fingers" growing out of the edge. Seems happy. This...

    Really Unusual Aquarium for Auction in Montclair

    Hey, how'd you get a picture? It looks (from the info) like they never put water in it. There's also some extra equipment like a 2500G water storage tank. That sump or wet/dry looks tragically small, though!
