    New Dirtbike

    an 85cc 2 stroke engine will release as much heavy hydrocarbons into the atmosphere as a 500cc 4 stroke engine. Its about time we sacrificed our need/want for POWER and went with smarter greener tech. Hopefully the 2 stroke engine will go the same way as the frankenfreak American muscle car, to...

    asm mesh mod

    That "other" forum must have 1,094,327 threads on mesh modding. Most of the results are very promising, and pretty much all of the skimmer guru's use kill-a-watts and dwyer airflow meters to get quantifiable results. Mesh mods definately pull more air/watt than needle wheels, although its pretty...

    Fungia Anorexia?

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but if a plate is full and extending tentacles, this usually means it is trying to absorb more light/food. If yours is well fed, he may not need to go into full light/food capture mode. I know if i want my corals (especially my brains) to look good for visitors, i don't...

    My 47tall DIY upgrade

    Definately need to play with white balance as the 20k bulb is washing out my colour. Will work on that. So just waiting on ACJr and JBJ autotopoff, and time to start (i mean stop) procrastinating on my skimmer build.... I'm going to have to build a little cabinet to put the ATO, kalk reactor...

    My 47tall DIY upgrade

    Managed to get quite a bit done last nite. My sump is hooked up and running, drain is realtively quiet, but still produces quite a lot of splashing, even though the drain is well below the water level. I will be getting a filter sock i guess to try quiet things down. hooked up my old CC airstone...

    Another record for RS

    I think the borg are really just robot zombies. I mean, c'mon, brains......assimilation........ its all the same. They're coming, from the future, and there's nothing we can do about it. So enjoy your tanks.

    Questions about painting a stand

    Guess I should update this... heres a pic with stand and canopy painted. Next time i'll just buy good wood instead of using scraps from work and trying to hide it with paint. Overall I'm happy with the appearance, but would have been happier if I had access to a painting booth. IMO good...

    OT: UFO's & Aliens

    LOL the LHC could possibly do just this. It is possible (although VERY improbable) that the LHC will form micro black holes. This is only the case if you are using non-standard particle physics models. Another possible side effect of the LHC is the production of "strangelets" which could cause a...

    OT: UFO's & Aliens

    it is. This is the largest ever constructed, and should allow us to reach much higher energy thresholds than before.

    OT: UFO's & Aliens

    On a side note, is anyone as excited as i am about the LHC(Large Hadron Collider) going online later this year? At 27km in diameter it is definately LARGE and should be able to provide us with quite a bit more info to puzzle out. I love how the cutting edge of experimental physics involves...

    OT: UFO's & Aliens

    BTW, my best friend is quite the zeitgeist buff, and we heatedly discuss (read: argue) this topic almost everytime we meet. I love it!!! nothing more invigorating that banging heads over differences of philosophical viewpoint.
