The new tank arrives tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

lol (f)lying. about to head over to the locker

Back in Portland! I even made it back early. Man lying is so unpredictable

I saw this bad boy on the planet earth series. Really cool for sure! I wonder why if makes the electro show maybe to attract plankton to the light source?

Wakey wakey eggs and bakey. No flight delay for the first flight. Ready for take off.

Dude that is awful! I'd go on a witch hunt.

district manager for Subaru.

FW STAYS! I have too much time and money wrapped up in some rarities to kick out all of my FW tanks for some rocks with tentacles (I keed!)

FYI I'm pulling another all nighter for this flight home (it's already 2:22 in DC). I'm going to be dead to the world today (sunday) A controller sounds like a good deal. I was waffling on getting one or not.

I really don't know. I'm not expecting the temp to get to high as I have HQI tanks with lids that don't get above 80 at the hottest w/ the AC running. I already have a coral life timer to time the lights. What else would the controller be good for?

Ha ha, thanks CA2OR, I only deal with apistos, nanochromis, pelvicachromis, and tanganyikan shell dwellers. No murdering fish for me! I've even keep shrimp with everything except the tanganyikans.

I'm in no rush. It's extra equipment at this point.

The flow is good. Used it on a 25 gallon tank with no issues. $40?

I have a 6 month old used XP1 That is coming off of a FW tank (the one I broke down to add the Solana.) You guys have no clue how much equipment I have laying around collecting dust

bought the Tunze Osmolator ATO. No controller yet. Recommendations?

such a beautiful tank!

I'm normally not gone so much at a time. The fishies usually have to scrounge for a few days until I get back.

Business conference... My travel schedule is crazy! this trip has also been nuts. Pulled all nighter Wednesday night because I was doing crap way too late 6 am PST flight to Chicago (went smoothly) 1:10 pm CST Flight to DC canceled (mechanical problems) Call United Booked for 2:10 pm CST Delayed - New Departure 2:45 pm CST Delayed - New Departure 3:46 pm CST Delayed - New Departure 4:00 pm CST(4 minutes? come on!)

Booked on American for 7:00 pm CST departure Flight delayed until 8:10 pm CST Flight delayed until 8:40 pm CST Fly to DC Arrive just after 11:00 pm EST (14 hours after leaving Portland... luckily baggage made it) Get to hotel around midnight proceed to answer emails Climb in bed around 2 am EST Wake Up at 6 am EST/ 3 am PST (4 hours of sleep) Struggle to stay awake during meetings. I HATE EAST COAST TRAVEL! I fly back to Portland tomorrow (i'm hoping the return flight isn't a fiasco!), and then up to anchorage on Tuesday. Fly to fairbanks on wednesday, fly back to anchorage on Wednesday Fly to Juneau on Thursday Fly back to Portland on Friday. Drive to Pasco on Monday Drive to Yakima on Tuesday Drive to Wenatchee on Wednesday Drive Back to Portland on Wednesday This month is going to be the death of me!

Yeah... The color is supposed to be "cherry blossom red" for all sti badging... but it's all done in red with the exception of the STI logo in the instrument cluster. There's nothing else pink in/on the car. I4's do not sound like H4's at all! 2005-2007 did have cheap interiors. 2008 onward are a lot better.

I'm in DC, sitting in my hotel. Can't fall asleep because it's too early west coast time, but I'll be hurting int he morning when I get up because it will be East coast time. East Coast = Do Not Want!

I've learned my lesson with glass lids on FW tanks. Metal Halide causes stupid evaporation, and the typical fish in my FW tanks are both rare and pricey. Losing a fish that you can't get again for another 8 months isn't something i look forward to. Even in FW i still have to use vinegar and clean off hard water marks. Doesn't seem like too much trouble to do every couple of weeks to keep from having reef jerky.

no one uses a glass top?

I think Audi and Subaru make the best AWD cars.
