Sorry if the language offends, but it made me laugh.

I'm guess I'm just surprised. last year I felt like I had quite a few request to make batches. The idea would be to take it out of the DIY realm and make it a reliable repeatable system. No offense, but if your water is dirty, you've likely done something wrong in the process. I've uprooted...

Wow, not a single reply? What about you folks running the swap meet, think there could be any interest there? I'd likely not be able to attend any but what if a portion of the proceeds went to the club? LFS owners, any interest in stocking such an offering? Thanks, Pat.

Howdy folks, long time. Spring is rolling in early it seems and I'm considering a real effort to mass produce my "secret recepie" mineralized soil, figured I'd check here to see if anyone would actually be interested in some of the stuff. I've talked with a few local fish stores about stocking...

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pet/4822723436.html Wish I had the time. Probably needs to be resealed.

Well, reality is setting in and I honestly don't think I'll have the time for this thing. The sump has already been given to someone but if anyone is interested in this tank you're more than welcome to pick it up in Olympia, free. PM for more info. If no one here wants it I'll make a proper...

I like the paludarium idea. I'm thinking of talking with my local pet store about doing a joint project. I really don't have the time to maintain another tank, but I do enjoy setting them up. Might see if I do all the main work if they'd like to have it as a display tank. All it really needs...

Howdy folks. Been gone a while. Had a busy year; daughter is almost a year old, bought our first house this summer; and we've now had our business open 5 years. Anyways, I scored a free acrylic tank and sump on CL the other day, might be what drags me back into the hobby, besides regular...

Needs dirt ;)

Success! I was only able to hatch one for sure, one other un-hatched egg was added to the main tank at the same time. Still, I came in the other morning to a CRS shrimplet in my little cup. I turned it loose into the tank and it disapeared into the plants. Will it survive? I dunno. But I...

Looks like I broke a few open during extraction. I'm hopeful a couple will survive. If not, I give up on CRS... I'll update with progress.

Howdy folks, been away for a while.  Busy with life.  That being said, I finally got my CBS to breed and was very excited.  A couple weeks go by and this morning the berried shrimp is dead/dying.  I had seen the artificially hatching shrimp section on the planet invert site a while ago so I...

Interesting article a friend posted. Fish Are Smarter Than You Think

Finally got around to checking this out. Regulator still good, but the solenoid is leaking like a siv. Leaks are coming from the joining of adapters. I used PTFE on the threads thinking that would be better than teflon. Maybe I didn't use enough? I'll redo it some time this week, but I'm...
