  1. Besides, you would have an excuse for not being at the wedding.
  2. Come on, paul, you know that it will be fun. Just think, you can but in a new beer can.
  3. I guess it's time to get another stand and do a reaquascaping of your DT.
  4. The really sad part in the article is that folks are just turning them loose. Here in Maryland there are idiots that turn snakeheads loose http://www.dnr.state.md.us/dnrnews/infocus/snakehead.asp And Scales Tropical Fish Warehouse used to sell piranhas (I thought that was just asking for some idiot to dump it in the local river).
  5. One of the concerns that I would have with distilled water is the use of Copper. Does the distiller use Copper or Stainless Steel for their condensing coil? If they use Copper, it the level low enough that it won't harm our Corals?
  6. If you want a computer that works, doesn't crash or get viruses, run Linux. That's want the smart kids are doing these days . Not to mention, it's free (not free as in beer, but free as in speech) most of the software is open source (free as in beer) and most places you can download the OS for free (as in beer). That said, you fishroom looks great.
  7. He's talking about Scotch Brite Pads. They're usually green and you find them in the cleaning section of the grocery store. http://www.scotch-brite.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Scotch-BriteBrand/Scotch-Brite/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U52300V2E0I02BK7KM0GT3_nid=B788N8K547gs7XLWLFJB1BglG9LRBCNNDCbl&prodID=B788N8K547gs&lang=en_US
  8. Chad, we like to keep you guessing.
  9. My plan is to change it out when I change my bulbs, kinds like you change the batteries in your smoke detectors when you change the clocks.
  10. I'm gonna have to go with Chad on this. Drilling the sump would be better because you don't want to run the risk of running the pump while it's dry. While running it dry for very short periods of time won't hurt it (much), I don't see the risk outweighing the benefits. If your luck is anything like mine, you would have a problem just after you leave on a two week vacation and your tank sitter couldn't get ahold of you because you're on a plane. By drilling the tank, they could unplug the pump and break the siphon on the drain until you call back and starting the pump would be easy (and you wouldn't run the risk of flooding your house when the pump wasn't primed and your sitter started the drain back too soon).
  11. They are certainly cheaper than a house. I'm glad that everything worked out well for you.
  12. Maybe we could do this next year at the BRK social. We could even have vuvuzelas. http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=101471150&feedType=nl&feedName=usoddlyenough&videoChannel=4
  13. Justin, that would certainly make for an interesting study. I also think that it would make an interesting journal article.
  14. There's always one in every crowd. It's usually me.
  15. Wouldn't that be copy/paste/post/proofread?
  16. Great Time With The WAMAS Community.
  17. Try Pristine for one of their blue heads. He won't work so well with shrimp, but he sure is pretty and friendly.
  18. I'm not sure that would happen like that to any but you Paul.
  19. I have a blue headed wrasse that I picked up that would love to munch them down. I got him at Pristine Aquariums. You're more than welcome to try him out. His NOT shrimp safe though.
  20. I have a blue headed that threatens to jump out every time that I raise the lid, but my six line pretty much stays at the bottom. You may want to try this: Think: "delete crab and insert fish."
  21. That would be a though decision: be with wife while daughter is being born or go to Frag Feast? "give me a minute, Honey, I'm thinking."
  22. Prior to buying an RO/DI filter, I was buying my water from Pristine Aquariums. They are next to the Home Depot on South Picket. The big problem with going there was that I ended up buying more than water (at 50 cents a gallon). The good thing is that, even though they aren't a sponser, they still give a 10% discount for WAMAS members.
  23. If you have a quarantine tank, you could try Roozen's
