  1. That would be another way to identify the location of the fault.
  2. Yeah that sucks. That is why I label each individual box, so I always know what breaker it is on. Doesn't help you though...
  3. I assume your breaker box and/or outlet box isn't labeled well enough to tell what breaker it is on. If you knew that, it would be much easier. Have you tried looking inside the box and assessing the general direction to wire is coming in from? Sometimes that can help (but not always!) Tip for future: I write the breaker #/id inside each box/outlet when I add or work on them. That way I know what breaker it is right away.
  4. I could tell from the title of the thread it was going to be about stealth heaters.
  5. The glass they sell at Lowes is very thin, too thin for my liking. I've used the 1/4" acrylic from Lowes and been happy. No bowing.
  6. What makes you think they are overfed? In reality, they are probably underfed. They feed far more than 3 times a day in the wild...
  7. I have been happy with Saah for unfinished furniture: LINK
  8. My build is a bit like yours. You may want to check out my thread: LINK I too wanted black, modern looking, straight edges, nice doors. My back is completely open. What I did was measure everything, bought one really nice sheet of plywood from Lowe's, and had them cut it into "a bunch" of pieces. If you look at the second to last pic on this page, you'll see what it ended up looking like: LINK I used Black Oil Based Rust-Oleum paint. Semi-Gloss is shiny enough. Could have used gloss. Very happy with how the paint has held up. I scuffed up the doors before I painted them, because they had a clear finish. In my case, to buy the doors, I found a "scratch and dent" vanity at Home Depot with perfect doors, marked down to about nothing, and bought it just for the doors. I disassembled it in the parking lot and took all the pieces home. I know you can buy doors online as well. Those doors are oak. Very solid, came with hinges attached. Made it easy. As you can see from the thread, I used the scrap pieces of the plywood to build up an outer rim to give depth. Still straight lines, I think it looks nice.
  9. I dump a gallon or 2 of straight vinegar in a bucket, and put the power head, etc in there and let it run. Can become very hot if you forget about it over night.
  10. I have bought 40 and 55 several times at this price. Good stuff.
  11. I was there last week end. Pretty much no fish (they had some goldfish). Good amount of supplies. Narrow store front, but the store is pretty "deep". Some other animals, birds, reptiles, frogs, lizards, etc. Same creepy guy who never talks and stares at me out of the corner of his eye every time I am there.
