    That desktop isn't too bad for the price (referring to the one on the left). Just over $100 cheaper than buying it direct from Dell. Depending on what you're doing with it I might suggest upgrading the memory to 16GB, but you should be able to do that after. Not enough detail provided on the...

    BiGGiePauls33 Dream Build | Assembling the System

    You could always do what I did on my last tank. Buy extra unions and make a section for the manifold. Until you decide you need it, it's just a straight pipe. When you need the manifold build it the same length and just swap out the straight pipe. I bought extra unions at the same time to...

    FS 150g Complete setup *NO PARTING OUT* $1000

    Dang! I just drove by your place yesterday and was joking with SonX - "Wanna stop by and visit my fish friend?" Question now is, who will be back first? You or me. My $$ is on you. Buyers -> Mike is a great guy to deal with. GLWS!

    Visted World Wide Corals (WWC) in Orlando

    lol. Not quite. Looking at the current prices of things keeps me content to just be a voyeur.

    Visted World Wide Corals (WWC) in Orlando

    Had to go down to Deltona, FL because my father was having open heart surgery. Once everything settled down about 6-7 post-surgery, I needed a break. Decided to take a drive down to Orlando and check out World Wide Coral's main headquarters. I was hoping to get a tour of the facility, but they...

    Porch Pirates - Missing Package

    Just yesterday I watched the USPS driver through my window as she put a package on my front porch. When I went out to get it, curious what it was because we weren't expecting anything, I checked the label. Wasn't ours ... it should have been delivered across the street. So much for the driver...

    Love your steampunk lamps. Reminds me of Vollis Simpson's whirly-gigs in NC. When we lived in Cary, NC I got the book "Weird North Carolina" (for my birthday or something) and there was an entry about him. On one of our road-trips we went there and checked them out (this was before they got move...

    Goby/shrimp question.

    Might work, but all depends on the fish. In the past I've had luck with Yellow Watchman Goby and shrimp pairing. The diamond we had showed no interest.

    Myrtle Beach - Ripley's Aquarium

    Was in Myrtle Beach last week for vacation. Ended up taking FamilyX and DaughterX's boyfriend to the aquarium. I think the last time we went DaughterX was about 2 years old; she's 18 now. (Dang!) One tank had live coral, pretty sure the rest were all fake. The tunnel through the main tank is...

    MetalFish Y2 PC with a Fishtank

    I've seen those. Looks cool, but once you dump all those components in there, I'd think it would be difficult to reuse them in another build, etc.

    Another unknown

    Probably some kind of algae that was on the frag plug. Have you tried pulling out the frag and scraping it off?

    Removing bta from rock

    Small tube (pvc or something), slightly larger than the nem base, with notches cut in the top. Place the tube over the nem (poke it/make it mad so it shrinks up), use elastics/etc. on the notches at the top of the tube to hold it against the rocks. Nem will get mad(der), look for light, and if...
