  1. Keep me updated on this, I'm kind of in the same situation, I cant hang from my ceiling so I have them braced across with 2 metal square pipes get this from a military green cot...haha
  2. I really enjoyed reading this, it kinda energized me to get my stuff together and start working
  3. I think I will try this then lol thanks my wife just likes watching them dance and rub up on things hmm
  4. hey I've worked with LIDAR over afghanistan, I cant really say to much here, but I created maps, intrepreted imagery, did route and bridge studies, hydrology reports, soil comps, helecopter landing sites. Terrain Analysis for foot soldiers and trucks and tanks. Line of Sight studies, weather forecasting, effects of weather on operations. You name it I've had encounters with it
  5. amazing amount of knowledge, someone offered me a gbta for 20....I'm still hesitant if they have a high light requirement....my cousin had some cinnamons that would "Dance with Mushrooms" haha I brought back some of those brown mushrooms, but traded them for oceallaris

  7. My smallest weenie just woke me up with a loud crash, she runs in and jumps on my face her head is stuck in a cereal bag Haha. Kinsler

  8. How nicknames are born One example I can think of specifically is my friend Bill. My section leader at the time decided he looked like the character Bill from King of the Hill, so he declared him “Bill.” (His real name has absolutely no similarity). Bill eventually turned into Billdo, a play on Bilbo from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This continued to Billdo Faggins, and then eventually Billdo Faggins of the Heushire (playing on his real name). Eventually Billdo Faggins s...

  9. Well its not a public place its private so I would like to ask, naturally the only place I've ever had a problem ironically was at a mexican restaurant in pleasanton. We've flown across country and we have a 1 drink minimum if you sit next to us or ask to pet him. (Rambo the German Shepherd) Maybe I should do a 1 piece of frag branch lol also they are False Percula's small ones I think the eheim was sort of complete just needs a deep clean and looks like a older generation.
  10. Hey I have another one for you guys. I joined the Marines at 17 grew up there and got out last year, struggling to make and no degree. Where where some of you at this stage of life compared to now. I'm 23 now and my wife is 25 with a BS in media from UT and works at the mall for 9 bucks an hour. I just feel like I'm not where my life should be at in terms of stability, and financially, I did have this idea that I would get out and ride the govt gravy train back to Afghanistan and swim in greenbacks.

  11. From what is sounds like thats just the nature of the beast. I'll think I'll try for a RO unit instead of glass then thank you all much help and knowledge all around
  12. I would like your posts however I've reached my maximum like amounts for the day. I'm seeing a new one for 186 on marinedepot.com someone said the replacement parts might be expensive and for 100 I could look at some of the Lowes fountain pumps at 700 gph or such and my dog is not a pet or anything so he would be next to me the whole time. friendly as heck but he knows when he's working with his vest and collar on I helped out in San Diego at a church feeding homeless for Easter, and it wasn't that rewarding they were very rude (Im not expecting manners, or anything like that and I get it) I've been around alot of the world. I also personally dont like giving money out here in Austin. I may be wrong but from what I've heard the ppl standing at every corner in Austin or either addicts or scammin'. There are some at every single corner. We've given water or gatorade out and they've complained bc it wasnt cold. I make 10 bucks an hour so my money is hard earned. Good deeds are not enough to get you in.
  13. If you get to the end of the please comment a go ahead or shut the heck up response Hey guys I'm also looking for something my clownfish can live with, cant afford a BTA at the moment. I saw someone just bought one of those squishy hair balls with tentacles and buried it and the clownfish hosted in it. pretty cool My cousin said I could get a big conch shell if need be My clowns are new (2 days) and they kept to the back corner, so there looking for someplace safe and I'd like to provide for them any help would be appreciated. I am also looking for a Mag 9.5 or 12 for a return pump. 100 bucks for a used eheim pump is a little much for me. I currently have a mag 12 now and its pretty good so idk I need some high max head bc my tank is high off the ground I would be willing to try another anemone out...AquaDome has condylactis for 15 and something tipped for 35 Big Conch also 15 at AquaDome Thank you Kim for responding promptly with my Sea Fan request (Non Photo sythetic) oh thats another thing I dont have HO or MH lights yet just T-8 I have some rock anemones and zoas that are doing pretty good I had a frogspawn that I was holding for my cousin that did pretty good as well I also have for trade a very expensive Akron Brass Firemans Nozzle...I'm at work now so i dont have the model but it goes for at least 500...IDK if anyone works with water or irrigation. this is legit...I had two gave one to my dad it is 1.5inch maybe 2.5 inch I'm thinking of just ordering the reducers and hooking it up to the garden hose it would build enough pressure and i could water my dirt and car with ease. I have no need for this thing It has a pistol grip and idk how many spray settings If you want to live out a fantasy of backdraft this is your chance. I would take somewhere 200 for it or equal to trades. Idc really I've found the parts to hook this up to the garden hose it would cost you about 30 plus shipping you need 2 size reducers. I'm very happy posting here, I prob get annoying but I sit on a computer for 8 hours at work waiting for jewelry to come back to count so can you blame me. Everyone that I've met in person has been great hoping to get out to the swap meet. Does anyone do any volunteer or work on Mondays? I'm looking for something to do with my 3 days off Sat-Mon I'm a Marine so I can do anything except peeing on ppl, nazi stuff, and throwing puppys. Those are my 3 bugaboos Very Respectfully, Drew Mendez Also will a service dog be allowed to attend the frag swap, I've emailed the property owner no response if someone could ask him that would be great.
  14. Hey everyone, I work at the liquidationchannel.com I sit here and watch tvs, and count jewerly I do get to interact with the TV hostess(es) I'm security here so I dont work for them but they have some great stuff. I've already bought stuff for my wife and I, and I got a new watch. Enjoy Tell me about your job...
  15. I like the partial cover idea that was what I was looking at just with glass not acrylic
  16. I went to Lowes and was looking at Acrylic in 24x48 sheet So I could slow down the splashing and evap. The problem is when it gets wet and heats up it bends. there is a glass brace that runs on top that would help support it. My lighting situation is 1 48" ballast with 4xT8s Coral Sun, Plant Growth and 2 reg flourscents. and 1 48" ballast with a Actinic and Ocean Sun bulb T8 I have fish only right now and I know I need to upgrade. So maybe a 24x48 sheet of glass and the 6 inches on each side would still be open and fine for all the return lines etc. I dont have a ATO, bc I dont have a RO Water unit YET as of now I'm just adding water as needed and checking salinity.
  17. I have 2 powerheads, a protein skimmer on a mag12 and the eheim. My concern is right now I have my 48" Lights strung across on the top supported my two sturdy bars longer than the width. My place has like so studs where I could hang Lots of salt creep and with alot of water dripping in its splashing away.
  18. Hey guys, I would like to put a canopy/lid on my 150 Gallon HEX tank... Any thoughts or ideas Im losing about a gallon of water daily in evaporation. Would like to either slow this down or build something to fix it. Very Respectfully, Drew Mendez
  19. Scott Pilgrim vs. the world my new favorite movie quote time.
