  1. I am currently looking at getting 2 - #4's for my 90. Marine Ddepot claims that these should NOT be used with a wave maker. Dang... that is what I wanted to do. Has anybody tried using these with a variable power source, i.e changing the phase of the current feeding them to cause the impeller to speed up/slow down? (Think motor speed controler, not voltage).

    What about turning them off for feeding and nighty-night mode?

    Any inexpensive sources out there?

    Thanks,

  2. Alright... Haven't been on a fast drive in a while... I used to love driving "Spiritedly" (whistle) up the canyons...

     

    Here is a video of one of Roland's friend... Driving an 2005 Audi Spice...

    Great driver....

     

    Here is the 2002 Audi Spice we played with...

    I have been the "navigator" during many of such races...

     

    The race is a hill climb in France.. Up a canyon... Straight up on one side... straight down on the other... You can tell it isn't in America by the Brave (stupid?) people standing close to the edge of the road... Watch the vid... you will see...

     

    Boy... I LOVE Adrenalin !

  3. Oh... I found out that I have Graves disease... Lots of Dr appts... Prescriptions... no health insurance

    Socialized medicine sounds fair and could be profitable....for all.

  4. another consequence...

     

    Well...

    My job was exported with the rich foreigners (which all were educated in the USA) taking jobs home where they make 20 times the average local wage.... Some of them have drivers and maids... and the 3 of them combined making less than a third of my salary.... (Lawyers make lots more :) ).

    They have socialized healthcare! Saved my company (at the time) $500 million.

    Making it lucrative to export labor and import everything else, treat it as disposable... destroys the middle class... Both in India and here... The rich get richer... the middle class becomes the poor and the poor become poorer...Boy China is really going to start producing...

     

    Hence... I am back at school trying to engineer for the healthcare industry... that and the service industry ( and lawyers)... will be all that is left for work in america. small niches will always exist... Hope to create one or work in one.

  5. Roland now lives in North Corolina... He currently is in Florida at the Cavellino...

    I used to be an Information Technology Counsultant and Quality systems consultant for a very large international company... Paid for a lot of toys..

    Now I am trying to go to school... to get an even better job!

    Current pics loading up the car for the Cavellino..

    Look... hardly any sponsors :D

  6. Hey Bobby!

    Nice to meet you.

    Ya... done the bike thing a time or two... Glad to know that you are OK...

    Want to get another one... but I know myself...

    Cars have a little more crash protection.

    Reef tanks are much safer! :D

    Take care,

    P.S. With this post I know how lucky we all are to have this club! Very Cool!

  8. He is VERY cool...Really glows under actinics. Those little red teeth... no.. they are fangs!

    It was like buying a new car and getting buyers remorse that night... You know...

    The book that I have states that they eat ornamental crabs and snails...

    Ryan.. I tend to believe you!

    Thanks again...

  9. Well..

    Waiting for the math geek to come out and state...

    'and' is a addition process... not multiplication.

     

    That means that girls are only half evil!

    no...

    (well.. 1/2 girl = Sqrt(evil))

     

    Really doesn't make sense...Maybe girls just don't make sense!

  10. (welcome) (To) (P) (N) (W) (M) (A) (S)

     

    Since you have a computer...

    Check out MarineDepot.com

    They have (I think) better equipment, prices...

    check your LFS for deals on equipment and you will need to stock the tank right? Much better to see the fish and ensure that they are eating.

    If you are only doing FOWLR then a good protien skimmer would be first. I do not use a canister filter... but some do.

    Good luck with all and keep us posted.
