    APEX firmware 4.30

    in General Discussion

    ok I have a IMAC and a router hooked up to Time Capsule, Apex hooked up with actiontec to router. can i do it wirelessly? how do i get this done with out buying a 50ft cable?

    Neptune says (and in the firmware update instructions) that it must be connected via cable not wireless. I'm sure others have done it wireless and prob worked. I did mine by cable and had 0 problems at all during or since.

    Most of the time Matt, it's not even worth the extra effort and time spent to get around the tolls (although it's really only the express lanes on 495 and the Dulles toll road that charge so not exactly sure where all the toll roads people are referring to.

    Anyone with goniopora or flower pot?

    that's actually inaccurate.

    Trock is right on this coral...there are plenty of corals and fish that have no business in our tanks (and IMHO this is one of them) but their numbers are incredibly small...this hobby has helped to keep some species alive when otherwise mankind would have destroyed it with all of the disasters both from natural disasters and man made disasters.

    No it's not inaccurate at all though Trock, you, me, everyone has their own opinion (typically without the science to back it up)

    Whether the hobby has helped save some species is debatable too due to the method used to remove many of these from the oceans.

    Frankly NONE of our "pets" has evolved to living life in an enclosed container. That, actually, is irrefutable fact so saying one should be left while others are ok to take is just absurd.

     

    As for destruction, things DO and HAVE happened even without human involvement. It's like saying if humans had existed and had zoos 250mil years ago then 95% of life on the planet wouldn't have been wiped out during the

    End-Permian extinction event.

     

    People do have one poignant trait above all other animals: we have a wonderful ability to convince ourselves that what we believe is in fact truth when it may or may not be anywhere close.

     

    I'm not preaching with all of this but won't be accused of being inaccurate based on another person's "belief."

    Hey there FishyPapa - nice rack! :tongue:

     

    Question - why do folks use frag racks?  I don't have one and just place my frags on the LR and let them grow.  I'm curious because i'm wondering if I should get one.

    Merci!  :)  I use a rack so I have a place to move frags back and forth to see how they respond to light levels before gluing them or to let them grow out before I frag. They're definitely handy but not really an absolute necessity.

    I've gotta ask, fishy papa, that's presumably your son in your avatar. Is he dressed up as a Donkey, or Bane from Batman?

     

    Either way, awesome.

    haha yep, that's m'boy!  We went to Wendy's (his favorite restaurant for some reason) and the kids meal had a Donkey (from Shrek) ear headband and the nose/teeth thing you hold in your mouth. lol  He's such a ham.
