    Painting the back of the aquarium

    Use to work for Ben Moore so I would just grab interior wall paint there. Figured it would be easier moving the tank a few inches from the wall and using a mini roller rather then taking the tank somewhere out of the livingroom to spray it. Used Fusion for pvc parts that were going to be...

    Substrate for Low-Tech

    playsand or the finer sand from a better LFS (read: non chain pet store). I've used it alone, mixed with small sized river gravel (from LFS) and mixed with laterite.

    Big Planted tank research

    The biggest hassle of going low to hi tech will be swapping out the gravel. Now, I see you already have a small 10g tank, I was under the impression that this was your FIRST tank. Not implying that you are an old salt (not sure what the FW term for that is), but you may have the general tank...

    Big Planted tank research

    I wouldn't start with a smaller tank, the swings are greater in a smaller water volume than a larger tank. (not to say anything smaller then yours is too small, quite opposite since yours is huge) I would get your tank up and running, get some easy plants that don't require the hi-tech...

    Updated plant pictures after adding co2, and trimming questions

    I would let everything mature and fill in before you starting trying to propagate them. I don't think plants start looking healthy for at least a month or two after planting. Let them mature before you start splitting them. What kind of lighting you using?

    Any Gov't/police workers? Or anyone very knowledgeable about gun license process?

    Illinois is 7 year renewal, and I agree, go to sporting goods store, or better yet, an actual gun shop or range for the actual rules, laws, and how-to. In Illinois, it's actually quicker to get a lic. when a gun shop sends in your request then if you send it in.

    Anyone else collect wrist watches ?

    When I use to bartend full time I would run through "fashion" watches all the time, DKNYs, Kenneth Coles, etc. All these $150-250 watches would last 6 months before the guts were rusted out. So I sucked it up a bought a Tag wore it daily for 6 years, but broke it last year when I was moving...

    We are driving from Chicago to Salem, Mass. to visit some friends. On the way there we are planning going thru Canada to Niagara to stop for the night. But on the way back we would just follow I-90 from Buffalo back to Chicago. We will probably stay overnight somewhere between Buffalo and...
