Jess, will do ... maybe we can get a few folks together for a run. Craig, thanks for the details ... just what I was hoping for, and that same spot jumped out for me as well -- clear water and high temps. Maybe we can keep in touch and if it looks like there's a good window I can plan a...

I think it's for any boat in the fleet ... I was going to hone in on the skipper / boat once I had an idea of what to target. Do you know when the NSQ will be active again next month and is Craig still the skipper?

Hey Gang ... my fantastic mother in law gave me a birthday gift certificate last year for a day on the water with Emeryville sportfishing, but as it was late in the season I elected to hold on to it and try to do something this year. As some of you are quite close to the industry, I was hoping...

Hey Vince, sorry to say that the corner desk was snagged by our younger daughter but the end pieces (which could also serve as nightstands) are still available. Funny how the kids don't want something one day but change their mind the next and then you see them dragging it into their room...

Given this absolutely scorching weather we've had lately we haven't had that problem this year. However, a couple years back when there were a lot of really hot days (I think we topped out at 116 one afternoon), our pool got up well into the 90's. Still cooler than the air, but felt more like...

Seeing those pics with Rich and Matt makes me think, "That's work?!?" and "As boys get older their toys get bigger!" :)

I don't know about the rusting / corrosion exposure since some folks have salt water pools and this doesn't say anything about limitations in that area. The only thing the ad says is "Non-rusting FRP casing and basin" but what that means in terms of actual resistance is anyone's guess. The...

So, I get this "sale announcement" the other day in my inbox from a non-hobby vendor. Since we're all looking for clever ways to use things from other industries / areas to either do things better or to save money, I temporarily get the bright idea that perhaps I've stumbled upon something...

With both our daughters hitting their upper teens, they requested that they get larger beds since we are re-doing their rooms. I was going to donate their current furniture to Habitat for Humanity like we did with our cabinets, etc., but then thought that perhaps some of the folks here who have...

Well, in doing a bit of cost analysis it seems that the discount version of 3% at the Box Stores is a better buy than getting the more concentrated version and diluting it down. Plus, it is far less hazardous to deal with than the 30 - 35% version as noted above. Guess I'll keep raising...

Hmmm thanks Tony. I 've seen it advertised from some scientific supply houses as well but was hpoing to not have to ship the stuff. If I can find any locally I'll post the source in case others are looking for it as well.

I've been advised from folks that have kept these that they are very serious eaters ... fish and inverts alike. I know the minis are exceptionally strong stingers (strong as in very, very sticky ... am unsure about the venom strongness) and I was advised to be very careful with the maxis as...

I got the great (sarcastically he says) idea to cleanse my various collections of dry rock (about 200#+) with H2O2 baths followed by freshwater soaks to sterilize them for the new tank. Unfortunately the triple pack small bottles of 3% you get at CVS don't go too far when you're filling up a...

Well, there's a boy clown and a girl clown, and a special feeling comes over them such that they feel like they want to be really, really close ...

Me too ... I can be like Mike :)!

... and you doing the Happy Dance in said video ... :)

Bill, sounds good, just lmk on the foxface. BTW the siphoning into the sump with a filter sock is a slick idea, but I've heard that if you pop them while cleaning then the insides contain "spores" that go on to create new ones (kinda like the evil fire creatures from the old Justice League...

I did the Middle Fork a few years back and it does have a couple drops that are pretty serious compared to the South Fork. One of them we even had to walk around due to a 15' or so vertical drop which the guide went over with the raft, but far to serious for the paying folk. The South Fork is...

I had a similar problem but spent a lot of time manually siphoning off the bubbles on the rock. Finally I relented and got a foxface which absolutely inhaled every bubble it saw. Since adding that particular fish I never saw another bubble the rest of the time I had the tank in place...

Hey Matthew, congrats on getting them to spawn and your efforts to get to this point! FWIW, I'd encourage you to take the "long" view and let the pair get used to spawning before you start trying to take the fry. If you disturb them too soon they will go off the spawn. However, once they...
