    Anyone seen cool predator fish (lion, frog, leaf, scorpion) ?

    Putting together my predator tank, I know a cliche phase ;) but I'm excited about it and that's what counts. Anyone seen some cool lion fish, frog fish, scorpion fish, or leaf fish at any of the LFS? I definitely want a Fu-Manchu lion if anyone has seen one. Thanks! Josh

    DBTC (non-coral edition?)

    Hi All, I've have upgraded yet again and have a 24 NanoCube DX and various other things. I was thinking it would be cool to have a DBTC edition for non-coral items, like live rock, sand, tanks, and equipment. Similar to the coral edition, those who receive someone's surplus sand or live...

    What's your typical montly reefing budget (not including electric bill!)

    yeah, I had to cut myself back and learn to appreciate my tank and just let it develop the way it is, its fun to get new gear, crazy corals, and sexy livestock, but I just can't keep it up on my graduate student stipend.

    What's your typical montly reefing budget (not including electric bill!)

    my online wells fargo account keeps stats on what I spend my money on, and they have pet/pet supplies, and it calculates your monthly %s. But like you guys, I don't set $20 aside as a "budget", but it is my average monthly cost.

    melt a hole in your mixing can with heater?

    Noticed a little round "melted" looking area on my BRUTE mixing can, not sure if its an imperfection from manufacturing or if my heaters did it? Can they get hot enough to melt a hole in plastic surrounded by water? I just hang them loose over the edge and they sway in the current of the...

    Hammer coral self propogation

    so my hammer has dropped two heads in the last two months, each is about 1" in diameter when extended. The first time I thought it simply broke off, but is it self proping like how a leather pinches off arms? Its interesting, the dropped heads have embedded into the sand at the bottom of the...

    Earthquake Retrofitting of House foundation, Tank Considerations?

    Hi All, My landlord has had a few contractors by to look at our 1920 woodframe house to get the foundation retrofitted (actually replaced). This of course will require the lifting of the house off the brick foundation. I know they have computer controlled hydraulic jacks that keep the house...

    min is the best, just make sure you update Malwarebytes when you are in regular Windows, because if you try to do it in safeboot w/o networking it can't connect to update. Cheers, Josh

    Computer virus help

    press(tap) F8 as fast as you can over and over from the moment your computer turns on or reboots, sometimes it ca be a little tricky. If that doesn't work try it again but hold it down. Are you using XP or Vista?

    Computer virus help

    FYI If you do it in SAFE MODE you don't have to do any of it manually! Manually is always risky too, because sometimes they are files you need, but they are just "edited' by the malware, good software will know that it should look like and restore the reg. Cheers, Josh

    Computer virus help

    95% of the time you can kill those worms/viruses by using Malwarebytes.org, the tip that most people don't do is to run the scan and removal in SAFE MODE, this will allow Malwarebytes to clean your System Reg files permanently, otherwise the worm/virus will probably pop its head back up...
