Ah, okay. I didn't know they made it in colors. That must've been fun to be all peel-y, NOT. So, now you know how to do an at-home chemical peel. Have your friends over! LOL

The smell of that stuff gives me a bad headache. We sometimes cast in fiberglass at work. That smell reminds of silicone. YUCK. I have to leave on those days.

I don't either but I've seen some of the things my wife does, all in the sake of prettyness. I'm glad I'm a guy....

Re: The 180gal Family Project

I'd rather pay for them then go through some of those things myself.

Personally, I think she is beautiful without going through all of those things but if it helps her to feel better about herself, by all means, go for it.

Re: The 180gal Family Project

It's ok...sometimes I really, really wish I were a man. Everything would be so much easier but, I will admit, it would make things very awkard between Tommy and me.

Plumbing is being put on the back burner for now. We're still missing one of the 1.5" BHs and all the strainers. Tommy called the store that was supposed to order them for us b/c they were out, but they haven't come in yet. Tommy painted the inside of the stand with some polyurethane to seal it and decided that it was crap (the stand) and is going to build a new one this weekend. It was built to support a FW tank and we just don't think it has enough structural integrity to support a SW tank.

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

In the construction industry they call that scope creep and it means more money. Another clue that you two are developing a true reef addiction!

Im glad he's building another one. I took a look at it and all it is is a couple of 2x4's and pressboard.

Ha ha ha, Al. According to Tommy's family I was pregnant for the 2 years we were living together before we got married. So, evidently Olivia was almost 3 when she was born.

ROFLMAO!!! I bet it would!

And this would be the time to build a new stand. Much better safe than sorry.
