    Ok, this is old but caught my attention...

    Ran across this today. i must have missed it when it came out. I know my Mandarin loves his pods, but this one would make him sprout legs and run. :) http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/02/02/article-0-118FBEE4000005DC-591_634x357.jpg Chris

    Well 2 months after having my relatively new AC unit repaired its out again.

    This morning its about 86 degrees in the house. I have two tanks, when do I need to start worring? I have the AC people coming out this afternoon to repair. Tank 1 is at 81 deg, the other I am not sure, the thermometer there went on the blink. Chris

    What do you do for vacation?

    Not in terms of what you do while on vacation, lets keep it PG13. lol :) Anyway, what I mean is how do you all deal with your tanks while you are away for a week or so. One of mine has ATO so I am good there, but the other doesn't. Also what about feeding. Do I need to get a neighbor to come...

    Is this a bad idea?

    So I currently have an RSM 130D and while I technically dont need it, I was thinking about putting in a fuge to grow cheato, maybe DSB and possibly banish crabs to. lol But, the issue is the size under the tank isnt that large so I would have to go custom and that makes me wonder if it was worth...

    What is it about cell phones?

    Its like magic, i can pretty much guarantee that as soon as I get my hand in the tank to do something my cell phone rings. Seriously, its like clock work. :) Also along a similar vein, as soon as I sit down to work, read, etc, I hear "Dad!" from the other room and I have to get up and see what...
