Can you do a system restore to a point when things were still working fine?

And then install a different virus program?

Was there something wrong with your previous one?

Yes, I've used it before, but it slowed down my computer so much when scanning that I switched to something else.

Have you tried to disable/uninstall the virus program to see if the printer acts normal then?

Is it just the antivirus, or the suite with the firewall?

Nope, nothing whatsoever, for a while now.

Hm, maybe I'd better get the crab out and into the sump!

Of course, it's in hiding right now.

Normally, it's always out and about, unless it's shedding.

Thanks, both of you!

I got mine a few years ago in a really cheap frag pack from ebay.

Nice to finally have a name for it!

I've heard plenty of those stories, too, but so far the crab has been behaving itself.

They have such small pincers, it seems almost impossible for them to kill a fish that's not exactly tiny.

What's this one called?

It looks exactly like the one and only chalice I have!

It's grown quite large by now.

Today, I discovered my Anthias partially eaten on the sand.

He was lively and eating yesterday.

All other fish (and corals) are fine, and I just tested the water (no ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH 8.2, Alk 8.5, SG 1.026, Temp 79).

Does this sounds like old age (have had the fish 2.5 years), or a predator?

The only suspects would be a larger female sally lightfoot crab, or a pistol shrimp that's been with me for 6 years and is fully grown (I assume). About 3 inches long.

Thanks, everyone!

I just put in one of the two Phoenix bulbs from Clay, so I'm all set for a while.

The new color temp will take a few days of getting used to.

My previous bulb seemed much brighter, though probably only to the human eye.

BTW, is it normal for a MH bulb to get cloudy with use? The bulb I took out looks really "milky".

Thanks for the offer!

I'm definitely very interested in Clay's, so we'll see what develops!

So, what color do the 14k plusrites give you, and how old are they?

Oh, yeah! Great!

What kelvin rating are they?

Anyone know of any current good online ( or LFS)sales for 14 or 15k MH bulbs?

Thanks, Jay and Frank!

And yes, I'm enjoying the Olympics, mostly on BBC live feeds, since the NBC coverage is more commercials than anything, and why they can't show things live is beyond me!

Frank, when could I come by to borrow the meter?

Please shoot me a pm!

I'm still struggling with high pH, and would really like to double check what my probe is measuring.

Does anyone have a portable pH meter that I could borrow for a quick check?

The LFS only uses a cheapo test, and they are really hard to read, no matter what.

Or does anyone in Eugene have any pH 7 and 9 solution I could borrow until my new set arrives?

Yep, I'm using one in the living room!

Runs fairly loud, but humidity is over 70 without, and it has the wonderful side effect of heating the room much cheaper than our heater!

During the summer the a/c dehumidifies, so we only run the regular dehumidifier in the colder months.

I'm sure it affects evaporation a little, but that's better than growing mold in the house, imo.

Will it ever be not on a weekday night?

Or maybe a Thursday?

I'm really sorry to hear that, Eric!

Best of luck for finding something else quickly, and check into the Oregon Health plan for you and your family!

What month are we aiming for?

I have an air water and ice, and couldn't be happier!

Great customer service, too!

I won't be there.

On weeknights, I can only do Thursdays and Fridays.

Hi Brad, I'll send you a pm!

And you got the first letter of my name right! *g*

It's Susanne.

Too bad you are in Portland!

My daughter could use this for her FW tank, and I have sps corals for trade.

Are you ever down closer to the Eugene area?

Same question from here

I totally agree!

If you have a 180G or 240G you want to get rid of...

CA2OR said: I think I found a way to do it with a 1\4 inch thickness on the inner wall.

Eric, how about explaining a little more?

Maybe a poll with dates, so we can find out when the most people can join in?

Is there a way to set them up, so you can make more than one choice, if, for example, there a four days listed, and you can make it to three of them?
