Perhaps this is something that "everyone" does, but no one suggested it to me.

I "built" my sump baffles and such with cardboard before I called the glass shop and ordered the glass to have cut.

In the pics they aren't perfectly in position, but that is the beauty of it. They don't have to be, it is just a mock up.

I must admit, my wife was my inspiration, with her threats of "I don't want to pay to have that glass cut twice, so you better figure something out the first time to get it right."

Ok, it wasn't that bad, but you know how, "non-hobby spouces" can be.

I know one thing that put some people off, is the "cover charge". I know that the tickets helped to pay for the event, but since this kind of thing is new in the North West, some people I know were interested, but felt that they didn't want to pay to go look at coral frags.

Perhaps there is a way to allow people to pay the "cover" if they decide to buy something. Or payless if they don't plan on buying anything, or well you get the idea.

Its good to know for future reference that this is a mostly SPS event. If I had been able to go, I probably would have been disappointed, I am not into SPS really.

Any idea if in the future the organizers of this event would consider opening/encouraging other types of vendors to participate?

My wife says we should set up a table in the corner with cards' date=' poker chips, and beer. (laugh)[/quote']

 

If you did that I might be able to make it. JK I have to work.

Following the law, doesn't mean you are doing what is best for people. It is legal to open an account for someone with a Matricula Counselar. And incase anyone reading this aren't aware, if you are legal, you don't need one of those. And don't tell me that BofA doesn't accept them, I know they do, at least here in Vancouver.

Yah i just don't have any HDs laying around to tear apart.

 

The showerhead was $2.99

Might try Craigslist for old harddrives. Or even garage sales.

Assuming the other two are assembled would you be willing to sell one?

Free Bump. Folks, this is a smoking deal. Get it before someone else snatches it up.

Thanks everyone. I ordered this one to replace the tube one that I got for free, (and hate).

I figured 1400 GPH should be more than enough.

I do want to address this... because i work for Bank of America and I can say that this is a load of crap. any foreign national programs we do are for legal people here in the US on business etc... most all of them are sponsered by their work and have valid US identification. The ones that are not sponsered still have valid Visa's and documentation that they are legal. you have to have a SS# to get any account.

So you are saying that Bank of America verifies the authenticity of all documents before they open an account or cash a check for individuals? Are you also saying that they only accept ID from states that checks the legality of the person who gets it before the ID is issued?

Well I guess I will end with immigration. I am not saying that rounding up all the illegal aliens will be easy or cheap in the short term but it will pay for itself in the long term. Eventually it will be easier and easier. I mean this state has ID card programs, Bank of America is offering banking to illegal immigrants, the very things that enable them to milk this country for benefits without paying taxes are the things that we can use to round them up and send them back. Definately any illegal immigrant that gets drug in by the police for violating another law should be immediately without question deported. There are more and more incidents of people that are here illegally that have been hauled into court repeatedly for breaking the law and then they get to continue to live here. They then really have no respect for our legal system because they don't suffer any real punishment for it so why should they stop. Lots of people die every year trying to come to this country because they know that once they are here more than likely they will get to live here forever. While this is a great goal there are ways to get here without violating the laws and maybe they should take a little more time to follow the law then giving us the finger and saying that there is nothing we are going to do about it. One of the things that people were fighting for in the immigration bill was the ability to vote. This would be great for them because in many areas they could take over the government. You have to look at the bad side of situations also. I think many democrats look at things on the glass half full side and don't think about the long term. Whether it be health care reform or the war you have to think fully about what will actually happen not the idealized outcome.

Why "round them up"? Make them go home on their own. And here is how you do it. Companies get to write off wages as a buisness expense. So force companies to actually verify the information that they are required to collect. If the information doesn't match, the name and number in the Social Security Administration data base, you can't hire the person, and any wages you pay them can't be used as a deduction when filing taxed. Also the states have to stop providing services to those who can't verify they are here legally. ALL SERVICES, except true emercency medical care. If you go to ER because you have the flu, you are responcible for it. If you go because you just crushed your hand, that is an emercency.

Trust me, in a year or two, they will all be back in thier home land or moved on to another country. I don't just mean "Mexican's". There are illegals here from many, many different countries, so I am not picking on anyone group of people.

And the best thing about doing it this way, is it doesn't cost taxpayers much.

Reefboy,

Thats beautiful. What is it?

Dennis,

Sorry should have PM'ed on that. I don't want a 75, but I found a crack near the top of my 55 the other day, and I need to replace it.

Is it Animal House that is selling them for $100?

I called, and the person I talked to was not positive about a sale next month, but the rumor is that it will be a $1/g. IDK. I will have to wait and see.

Anyone have any new information on this?

I am thinking since All Glass is now part of the Aqueon line that it may be to blow out the "old" tanks.

Anyone got a Rio2100 or larger pump for sale/trade?

Yeah but how many MH lights would you have to run on the thing? (scratch) (laugh)

I know what the K value means but I don't know what I should use.

When getting new bulbs for my CF fixtures should I get 6400K, 6700K, 10000K, 12000K something else?

Reading various posts I have seen people write things like "I decided to go with X number of pounds of Southdown sand."

So what is Southdown, and what is so special about it?

dsoz,

Thanks for the offer, but I was just curious. Thanks for the info too.

Is this good for anyone that is a forum member, or just PNWMAS members?

I have to go down to Salem on Friday. As such I am planning on stopping in at Advnaced Aquarium, either on the way or the way back.

What other stores should I visit? I can't go any farther south than Salem.

Just watched the commercial for it. 9pm this year.

Usually starts at 8pm every year. But check to make sure.
