I wish! The new job has me going to Factoria all the time! But at least now I can get some travel from time to time!

Early last week, I accepted a job offer, which meant that I had to run out of town as fast as possible before I got stuck behind a desk 24/7 again. So I ran off to Montana for a short road trip... And what would I do in Montana but visit any LFS I could find! I stayed at Whitefish for the night...

Welcome aboard! I see you're doing something interesting with your filter and some hose. What's the story there?

I'll keep draining it out into the plants until I figure out the quality of the water and post more info once I know more.

I recently installed a dehumidifier in my fish room and I was shocked to find 3 gallons of water collected in one night! Do you guys have dehumidifiers running? And what do you do with it? At worse I could just use it on plants... But maybe it is safe for tanks? What do you all think? I found...

Apistos are a great start. They spawn like crazy, though I never managed to get any babies from the spawns :( So if they breed for you and you get excited, don't give up when the spawns fail. Just keep trying!

Yes! I'm gonna have to work that in to my next date somehow!

Nice pickup! Hope the rack and tanks work out well for you!

We've got a few votes, any more ideas?

I tried to setup a 55 gallon rack on one of those metal racks from lowes/homedepot/costco (like the 40 reack that cory posted). Lengthwise they fit just fine, but depthwise, the rack is 24" rather than 12". So if you wanted a multi tank peninsula, you could set up one tank on either side on each...

Awesome little guy! Looking forward to seeing the markings once it gets bigger!

Man, I leave for a day, and all this comes up! Here's what I gather: 1. Request to disable comments on FS section, declined because some people find value in it. 2. There are more opinions out there against comments in FS. The opinions against comments seem to focus on two strands: a. comments...

Wow! And here we were all working to pull off a surprise tie victory result, when all of a sudden scruffy pulls ahead! Congrats DMD and Scruffy the hairy puffer (Monotrete Baileyi). Get in touch with the coop for some free hikari food, and look for scruffy to show up on the banner soon! Good...
