    From a fellow Canadian, I apologize.

    Militarily, perhaps. It is the one country that is not afraid to show its military prowess. but I digress, what would the US economy BE without war? I ask you THAT question my friend and leave this as I depart :OT: :OT: :OT: :OT: :OT: This topic SO needs to be branched off into...

    From a fellow Canadian, I apologize.

    thats a little bit self centered. In fact, thats extremely...prejeduce. Politically speaking that is, lol. To think that one devolped country has little influence over another is almost an ignorance. In terms of world politics, the US does NOT have the biggest hand in the pot, however, it...

    From a fellow Canadian, I apologize.

    I think perhaps, back on the orginal topic anyway that started way back when, lol. Anywho I agree it is a very political oriented move. However, try to see it from a CANADIAN point of view. Our #1 trading parter suddenly decides that all mighty evil Canada is stealing american forestry jobs...

    you move it very carefully! two people really helps, one can chase, one can catch my pleco freeked before he got in the net but once he was in the net and out of the water, he was fine. Just a warning, its not easy. And you WILL get wet. remove anything you can out of the tank, including...

    water smells moldy?

    well, not quite sure what mold smells like, but, does it have a strong odor? or is it more a dirt-like smell? if its a dirt smell, then that is fairly normal, a strong odor isnt good, but u can always run activated carbon to remove any smells.

    Canister Filter Recommendations

    well, the filstar actually has more hardware then the fluval it has all the tubing, plus the option of a spraybar or generic "spout" output I mean, I dont even think there is a fluval spraybar?? but i think the idea of fluval's output is to "launch" the water out via a ramp style spout, ida...

    Canister Filter Recommendations

    dont think it has to be an aquaclear sponge, any sponge will work, just cram it around the intake strainer. Never thought about that tho, mind you, the amount of gunk the filstar has in the cannister, I can understand WHY it clogs. I actually use my filstar as a surface skimmer/midwater...

    This thread is hijacked....for the time being I dont know if you should suspect the shark in the neon deaths I know I had 10+neons, and one by one they got "abducted". Now, I have nothing predatory, however, I did have one big pleco that hoovered anything on the tank bottom, dead fish and...
