  1. Yeah, sch 40 unions will be fine... correct threaded will do fine, you asked which is better a better seal and I think glued would be better, but threaded will get the job done...
  2. Yeah, I was going to add that... this is just to be safe, and for some reason if one gets clogged and you to not realized it you will not have an issue...so just do a couple...
  3. I am not saying I disagree with you, but I have heard completely the opposite of everything you are saying...Penn and Teller actually did one of thier "bullsh!t" shows on nuclear power and touched on all the issues you mentioned... Yes, Chernobyl is a worst case scenario...look at the Exxon Valdez and recently the oil spill in the San Fransisco Bay...I am willing to bet that if oil was not already a predominant way to fuel things, people would show the Exxon as a horrible reason to go with oil... Not saying that Chernobyl is not worse then a huge oil spill...but everything has it issues, some more then others, but I guess that is all relative as well...
  4. I would just drill a couple of siphon break holes just below the water line and that will solve the problem...
  5. I want to get a small piece of scrap of marble or granite and I have heard that you can get scrap pieces for a good price...any body have some recommendations of some places in the beaverton area? Let me know...Thanks.
  6. I agree...although I am considering looking into one.
  7. I would consider breaking this up if someone is interested in the bulbs, or pendants or the ballast... let me know if this peaks anyones interest...Thanks.
  8. Did you get anything else in with this stuff, or did you just get the duncans?
  9. Great idea for a thread Drock!!! Here are a couple I just quickly snapped off...I did not want to mess with the tripod and settings on the camera...It is still very young, but most are LE frags and you can only buy them in frags, so I am waiting for them to grow out.

  10. I think the most promising form of energy is geothermal... Solar really has it limitations, my grand parents have used solar to heat their pools they have had over the years, and it has worked out well, because they only used the pool in the summer time, when there was sufficient sun, but other then that they would need to heat the water with electricity...Wind takes up lots and lots of precious land to have the giant windmills, so that could have a very negative effect on the wild life that is in those areas...
  11. So I have been seeing alot of things on TV about hybrids, electric cars, and just saw a new one for honda's hydrogen car...So I am thinking out loud here and have done no research into this what-so-ever, but thought I would see what others have to say...Everyone talks about all these resources that could be used instead of gas, but those would either ran out or would cause other forms of global warming... If everyone switched to: E-85: There would not be enough corn to sustain everyone driving, also it would burn more fuel overall, since the corn needs to be driven to places and can not be pumped through a pipe line, like oil can. Electric/hybrid cars- I see commercials where they say to turn your electric thermostat up in the summer and down in the winter and if everyone did this, we would save a whole bunch of carbon emissions because of less electricity...so if everyone had electric cars, would we not be producing more of a just a different kind of carbon emission? Hydrogen cars: (I think this is the most promising out there) however, if they are producing moisture and if everyone drove them, would there be any worry that we would change the climate to rain alot more which could cause some major issues with always having an overcast rainy day... I also saw a commercial for CSX trains, who claim they can carry a ton of frieght 420miles on a gallon of fuel...I have no idea what kind of fuel, but this might be something to look into for our cars, but maybe it has to do with the type of motor it uses and it can not fit in average cars... Again, I have not studied any of this, just thinking out loud here, cause I think this is a great thread and has been very good about staying on track and not turning into a flame fest...
  12. Yeah we can work something out for sure...
  13. there is no noise what so ever...
  14. I have never seen the wave box in action...and I know Rich said that unless you have a long tank for these (and I would assume most wave creators) they do not offer much use to the tank.... I think I will just be getting a Wavy Sea and a Tunze nano 6055 on a single controller and call it day... I was just hoping this thing might yield some positive results for only 200 bucks, but guess not.
  15. I do not think everyone is on a diet....well...maybe, lol. I hate thanksgiving, cause I do not enjoy the food, I am a very picky eater... I know, I know (wife)(wife)(wife)(wife)(wife) , so I will be probably be having a nice big t-bone as my main piece of meat. I do enjoy spending the time with family however, that is my favorite part.
  16. Wow, your super positive (whistle) , Have you ever swam in an ocean? its a constant wave that moves back and forth and as the wave breaks against the rock it creates random flow. Also another great thing about the wave is it tends to move the entire column of water which usually does not leave alot of dead spots, unlike regular pumps and power heads... as for a surge bucket...most people do not have room for those and at least the ones I have seen do not move the entire water column.
  17. I agree that is alot of money for what it does...but you do not have to drill the tank and purchase extra bulk heads (and if you get good ones, they are about 25 each...), but I completey understand what you are saying...however...this is a wave device...I was more curious to see what it does, if it would have put out a very good wave, then I think it would have been a great investment, but I do not think it is worth the money... http://www.oceansmotions.com/tsunami.wmv , would really only be good on an in wall or if you do not mind eye sores on each side of the tank...but it is sweet!
