Micah

Alright, so... I made an overflow box without weir teeth. I did it, because I had no way of cutting them myself, and having them cut was prohibitively expensive. I need one of these things: A creative way to cover my overflow box that fish won't get stuck on top of. A way to cut weir teeth easily with a hand drill or a chop saw in acrylic. I could then glue these teeth to the box. A ready made purchasable product of weir teeth Anybody?

I'm looking for a Reef Octopus NWB-110 to be specific, but anything decent around that size would be fine too.

Found these. Thanks for nothing! j/k

Was it just me, or did other BSG fans see the title and think this was something completely different?

I need two 1" slip to slip bulkheads. If you have these and are near-ish portland, let me know. I have a project coming up this weekend that this would be great for. FYI, I welcome responses from LFS's near me (Portland). --Micah

I have never treated ich. Only velvet. Like I hinted at above, your fish is stressed about something. Could be the ich, but probably something else.

It's my OPINION and personal EXPERIENCE that if you have an ich problem so bad that you are considering treating with medication, you have problems that need to be resolved prior to any treatment. Healthy fish don't get ich. Fix the first part and the second will fix itself.

Yes. Welcome back....

Checking your apex is actually easier than posting on this forum. Just sayin.

Satisfaction of growing a large colony I think. I have yet to get to that point.

Member banners should be working now.

+1. I am using the 1262. It's quiet and has given me ZERO issues. I have a DC pump to replace it with and I haven't done it because "If it aint broke, don't fix it". eheim makes good stuff.

FYI, we've found a solution to the member banners. Should be happening any time now.

Oops. Posted as admin. Sorry about that.

I freaking love this article and completely agree with everything in it. I remember the day where you'd go to a club meeting and people would show up with baggies of frags... for no reason. Among the people who brought baggies, trades would be had.. even if you came empty handed, chances are you'd go home with something. When I started this hobby in 2003, that's how I got almost all of my first frags.

This conversation seems to be getting hostile, so I'm going to go ahead and stop. When people start posting pictures of guns, saying they are giving me "career advice", I start going back to that feeling where I want to quit all over again because I don't want to invest time in this sort of vibe. When I posted my "this is the plan" thread prior to my "cut and run" I was confronted with this exact kind of petty childish behavior. So I quit. Are you really blaming me for cutting the bad vibes out of my life? I'm pretty convinced that there are those of you who can't be happy unless you're messing with somebodies personal life and there's some sort of drama inducing volume exiting your lips.

Both? I'm not sure I understand your "question".

Actually, I told the board (or at least a good subset of them - and I'm paraphrasing here) "I'm about to resign in a few moments, but I will still help you with this site migration< not going to leave you high and dry". I'm sure somebody can dig up that chat transcript, but I did say something to that effect. So, prior to my "cut and run", I did offer to finish what I started and make right what I have admitted I borked. I'm sure Darryl and Softy are laughing their collective asses off right now. Let's revert to 2012.. seriously, Kevin.. give me the word and the passwords.. I could have it done in an hour.

You're a smart guy Pontus.. so you know I didn't actually cut and run because you've read all of the previous posts and you know all of the facts before you said that, right? I didn't cut and run.. I quit. I broke the ties to the officers and board of this forum. I no longer wanted to be involved in the political nonsense - I made this plainly clear. I like participating in the hobby, not lording over it or trying to rule it and dealing with peoples "needs". When I left, I offered my full help in the migration of the site to the point where the site was stable and the problem has been resolved. This has nothing to do with the new site. I believe as Kevin does that we are not rival sites. It's actually good for a local community to have multiple venues to play from. Especially if the leaders of both forums are in agreement that we have each others backs. This is the case now. My offer still stands to fix this site. I have never...... I'll repeat NEVER.. rescinded this offer. I have NO problem fixing this site, getting it migrated to IPB, etc. I even had a PNWMAS theme created... It's sitting right here in my dropbox folder. Give me the word.... (Somebody who can)

Okay, want to go back to 2012 again? That's an option. Remember when that happened? Let's try and keep things in perspective there buddy. For the record, backups from before the switch to the new forum still exist. Reverting to that IS an option. You'd lose everything from then to now, but it's an option. A familiar option to anybody who's been on this site for years and years... since it has happened more than once before I got my hands on anything.

I really do feel bad about the condition I put the site in, but I've owned up to that. So you're little "Micah sucks" attempt is moot - and dumb. To be fair though, I went with the recommendations from vBulletin. If the blame should go anywhere, it should go to the company who makes the crappy software they are pushing people to upgrade to. Chief almost made the same mistake as he has said. One of the selling points of the new software was "better performance", which as we can see isn't the case. Also, on the test server (with the same specs, on the same hosting provider) it performed well with one or two people on it. Once it was brought live, it struggled to keep 4+ people surfing succesfully. On top of that, the instant backups run, it buries the needle of the memory - causing the server to choke at midnight every day. I was on my way to upgrading the site. So, I posted my "here's the plan" post. I was approved to start the migration testing, etc. During that time there was some disagreement on the direction of the club happening that I did not agree with. I've been clear about how I think the forum should be ran to the BOD/Officers from the very beginning - before the upgrade, at the moment of my being elected. This difference in opinion made me question the effort I've been putting into the site. Would you keep putting coins in a machine that kept poking you in the eyeball? A better idea was the cut ties, think about stuff, then put my money where my mouth is. Which is what I did. I can now put my blood sweat and tears into a site I can run the way I feel it should be run. I will re-state though, that I feel bad about the condition this site is in. It really wasn't supposed to go down like this. I had a feeling people would start saying I did it on purpose... To sabotage.. Those people need to wake up, get real, and realize it's a hobby forum. I was waiting for the first stone to be thrown by somebody... Had a feeling it would be you Kris. That said, you're still welcome on NWREEF. Just leave your attitude at the door. Cool? Do we need to discuss this further? Does anybody need to kick me in the nuts some more? Let's get this over with.

Awww... I miss Bob Ross......

Boys boys boys... Don't make me get the hose!

It's looking good John!
