Unfortunately, the change in my circumstances (divorce) means that I have no aquaria at all. Zero, zilch, zip, nada... The only captive water in my dwelling at this time is inside little bottles that say "Dasani" on them :p: ... I suppose I could try keeping a Beta in an empty :joke:

daayda3, I owe you an apology :( When I posted, I was rating the avatar of Reddog80p. I was too slow however, and you slipped a reply in before I could hit <submit> I'm sorry, I did not mean to say that your avvy was either unnatractive or naughty :duh: Your avatar is just fine: 8 of 10

Well, there have been a lot of changes in my life since I last edited this thread. If someone will tell me how, I would like to delete this thread entirely.

9 of 10 for daring, candid, and naughtily funny :) 3 of 10 for attractive :p:

LMAO @ 125gJoe's "sick pumpkin" post. :cool:

Wow! The little note says I haven't logged in since May 8th. Whoda thunk that I would ever go so long? Thanks to the administrators :D and sponsor (especially the sponsor :bowing: ) for remembering my birthday. I see a lot of screen names that I remember, and a few new ones. Kinda feels...

Perhaps I misunderstood about the transfer of ownership :confused: I thought the previous owner was the father of the guy who is presently 51% owner/general manager. Even if he's not a relative, he's worked there long enough to have been adopted :D

Okay, I have a formula, but it most emphatically does not meet the criteria of "user friendly." Though the initial objective was to pre-digest the numbers, what I have produced (so far) is so much mathematical v*mit :thud: I won't even try to post it here, but if anyone who is following...

Yee haw! I haven't had this much fun since the last time I normalized a non-orthogonal vector space :eek:

Of course! *kicks self repeatedly in posterior portion* Why didn't I say that :duh: ? Once we are willing to accept the shape of the bowfront to be a section of a circle, determining the radius of that circle only requires the use of a protractor and a little basic trigononmetry :eek...

Here's a third for Aquarium Concepts in OKC. It is a second generation family business.

Awesome! Even though you left it as an exercise for the student you couldn't resist the urge to be prepared to check their work. Have you considered teaching? :laugh: I wish some of my Geometry students would take up the aquarium hobby, and be stuck buying hex tanks with no listed capacity...

You've been reading too many math texts. :D

You could also toss in a few pieces of PVC pipe in which the fish could shelter from marauding magpies :)

$150 negotiable (but be reasonable) gets you: 50 gallon aquarium (20" x 36") wood stand/cabinet (21" x 37" footprint) two-piece glass cover two 36" lightstrips (w/ external ballasts) This tank has served me well for many years, but I simply have no place to put it until I do some MAJOR...

Fascinating observation. I prefer the look/feel of the light shed by these bulbs over conventional incandesant. I will be interested to see other statements about these bulbs (vis a vis their affect on aquaria), whether they be anecdotal or empirical. Thank you for sharing, and welcome to...

That really sucks. You seem to have the situation as in-control as possible, so I can only offer sympathy, and hope for the health of your fish during this time of stress :(

Hans, I always look forward to your posts. Some of them are delightfully outrageous :D Now I kinda wish we had a PG-13 forum where I could give this post the reply it so desperately needs ;) To take the reply absolutely at face value, I did know one guy who claimed to put aspirin in...

Thanks :) All of the goldfish are at least 2in long, not including fin. No goldfish fry so far this year, and that's okay, since I'm down to 30-40 gallons per fish already. Since the smallest goldfish are in the 2in range, do you suppose a 6in channel cat would be safe?

Well, not yet, but I will soon have pollywog problems. I know, because I can hear, as I type, a toad screaming his lungs out. He's saying (freely translated) "What a maginificent specimen of amphibianhood am I! Come ladies, procreate with me!" And the ladies will respond to his call. Last...
