  1. Hmm... not sure if Netflix counts.. when was the last time you watch a BCS or NFL or now MBA Playoff on Netflix.

     

    Randy, I feel your pain. I'm in the same box, except for the same price, I'm getting all the channels, but do want to get off Comcast. I have 5 HD TVs and 2 SD TVs and 2 HD box because I'm not about to pay for 4 more boxes at $15/month each. I looked into it, and was hoping that I don't need a box for every TV.

     

    I looked into Dish and DirecTV to see if I can share cable boxes between TV. Although you can, the only signal that you will get on the other TVs is SD signal and only HD signal at the TV that is hooked to the box. If you are looking for 1:1 comparison, Dish will be cheaper, but also have to look at the channel line ups. Dish does not provide FSN as far as I saw on their channel listing. But DirecTV does, but I believe it cost about the same at Comcast or a little less at the end.

     

    I'm waiting for Dish or DirecTV to change their box so they can modulate the HD signal through the coax cable to other TVs in 1080i or 720p.

     

    let me know what you decide. Might just have to do what you do. :)

  2. The two fishes with yellow strip at Double Whiptail Bream. Travis had one and I bought these two from Tim. They called it Banana Wrasse at the time. And has been called that by some online vendors.

    The tank is 280g. It's infested with aiptasia which I'm having some issues trying to get rid of. I'm going to replace rocks again this coming week to rid of the aiptasia.

     

    I like the xenia on the back of the tank. Which they could just stay on the back and not the rocks. I'll get the other half of the tank that has the green star polyps. There's a section where they meet up.

     

    Thanks for viewing the video.

  3. I disagree on the heat issue. I used to use T5's 4' and 6' and both put out more heat than VHO bulbs do. They are better than VHO, but had 6' T5 melt some end caps due to heat.

  4. Checking in. Sirens are going off. Pretty creepy.

     

    My wife and daughter are in the east coast of Canada right now, so family is safe. Cold, but safe. lol I got my dive flippers ready!

    Good luck Kev. Get the nets out. You might catch a few rare fish for your site. :) Check in tomorrow morning! Oh, the Black Tang is out and swimming around and my other Black tang is not picking on him.

  5. Yikes... sorry to hear.. I've had too many leaks myself and finally bought a water detector unit that will shut off my pump in the event of water overflows or what ever the issue is. I used to have a water alarm, but having it go off when I'm not home doesn't do my any good. Had it went off once and only had about 1/2 cup of water on the hardwood floor.

  6. When I moved a mile from my last house, I basically filled a 5 gal bucket 50% of water from the tank and put the fish in there. I wouldn't put any rocks, pipes or anything. The rocks or anything you put in the bucket can crush or injure the fish during transportation. Then acclimate the fish into the new tank since your old tank in it's new location will have new water. I had to transport 4 Tangs and a few smaller fishes, and snails and hermits. And for the corals, I would bag them up or make sure they are not touching each other during transportation.

  7. Mike, if he's cool with his friends in the tank, I'll keep him.. If he is indeed the one I caught, then he's been perfect.. so far. But do agree I should take him out soon.

     

    dee77, for now, he's a permanent fixture. But someday I'll have to setup another tank for the white mouth eel and will put them both together. I was a Rose City a couple of weekends ago and he was watching a snowflake and white mouth for another reefer.
