Isn't that what I said?

If I had a large tank, 100% would enclose it in a small fish room to save heating costs on it. Using a heat pump to heat the room may or may not be better as there is a rather large initial investment there and I forget if they dehumidify the air which would be great except higher humidity...

And based off the history of PG&E constantly rewriting and sending in proposals to the CPUC, I expect NEM4 and 5 and 6 until they finally get to a point where they can argue they shouldn't have to credit much less pay anyone for power

San Francisco has done that too, gotta look at the fine print or at least shoot an email at the people in charge turns out the price for electricity generation is "cheaper" however the cost to "transport it" is more expensive so it ends up usually costing the same or more than PG&E, oh PG&E is...

Yeah I can see that, definitely have seen people do that with swimming pools and not die probably because much larger area for the CO2 to spread out. That said solid CO2 (dry ice) is quite a bit more CO2 than normally is in air, normally oxygen is like 500x more abundant than CO2 that said...

Yeah this in a nutshell, if there was absolutely no movement in the room by quite literally anything you may see some separations, but I don't think the CO2 levels are really THAT high in the grand scheme of things to have a layer of CO2 along the sump layer versus 6 feet higher. Although...

What is the point of these? Is it some sort of counter motion if there's an earthquake or something?

Wow, actual net positive energy gain? Sweet. Now the next bit is to find a way to actually capture and use more energy than was put into it so that this kind of reaction can be self sustaining. Well I guess the pessimist in me says the next bit is to replicate the experiment to make sure...

Hey guy standing around drinking a beer is a very important job too FYI, I too was a bit tempted in that tank as a way to hop back into the hobby, ultimately decided the logistics of getting it here and the amount of pre-prep work that would need to be done was too much for me, my stand is only...

I would grab some junky 40g breeders or one of those rubbermade tubs or something from other reefers, and just start the process of creating temporary tanks for all your stuff and completely draining your old tank.

Absolutely was, still didn't explain how there's so much damn detritus in a tank that never gets fed though. Just an infinite cycle of algae growing, dying, and growing back again?

Does EBMUD have meters that automatically communicate back to the fatherland? e.g. "Smartmeters" Because if not it could be something as simple as them not checking your meter for a month or more and using past year's usage as a gauge for your bill but if you use more then when they do...

Add to me a +1.5 as the wife and kid want to come for some reason. I'll swing by Costco and get a pizza or two

I will be there and I'll be bringing a 50(ish) gallon glass tank that was donated to the club and some how ended up in my garage for the next year's BoD to decide what to do with and more importantly it's their problem to store it.

Yeah that's not even close... This is a magnificent foxface It's been a while since I bought fish (and I'm sure prices have changed drastically) but it was the difference between a $20 fish and a $100+ fish edit: ok just checked LiveAquaria and the yellow "plain" one is more expensive than...

I thought that looked familiar. I also believe that was before I knew how it was going to work out.

That sounds a little too complicated for me, I'm a simple minded person :)

To follow up here a bit with some clarification, this is a bring one get one type of swap, so bring one and ONLY one frag. Make it a good one, as mentioned something you would want to bring home yourself. We'll try to make this fair... pick numbers out of a hat, type of fair. So line...

My gut is that it doesn't matter either, hard to tell which side is "up" based on that picture you show, but I'd guess that piece is mostly to prevent twisting and/or racking of the stand. Having the pieces physically touch would do absolutely nothing for strength of it's intended job as the...

So all that rock is basically lava run off? And I guess algae grows which feeds the tangs and other herbivores?
