My back huurts, I need a Beer, is it quittin time yet??
Make sure it is only beer your drinking :wink:

[Leah]

Oh ya and what have you done today anyways :wink:

[banditpowdercoat]

Oh ya and what have you done today anyways :wink:

Ohh, lets see, stripped down 600ft of steel cored telephone cable from inside of mine, checked, coiled, and prepared to reinstall elswhere.

Reclaimed 130ft of 3c/ 2/O cable about (3"diameter) and affixed to side of 100ft vertical vent raise.

Watched air physically move 12 inches back and forth in front of me, for about 6 seconds, after they lit up a bag of AMEX explosives sitting on a boulder!!! :D Now THAT was cool!!!

Ohh, and I had a coffee

[Leah]

Okay you deserve a beer I guess.

I wonder if hobby dosers are as loud as the one in this hopsital room. 140mL/hr and it's freakin loud with all the clicking.

[Delphinus]

I have (had) a tiger cowry in the sump of my 40g setup. It was sumped because it went predatory on the carpets and did a fair bit of damage to them before I figured out it was the cowry causing the carpets their injuries night after night.

Anyhow I found it sucked into the skimmer intake last night. I thought it had died because it was hanging out of the shell, and I waited a good half hour to see any signs of life and there were none. I was going to toss it but then thought, well, you know, it's actually a really pretty shell. I should let the shrimp and worms go at it and save me the yucky task of cleaning the shell. So I tossed it into the display tank.

Guess who wasn't dead????? Great, I have no idea where he's gotten to, and now he's loose in the tank back with the carpets. :neutral: Yay.. a miracle of resurrection. But ah, yeah. FRACK. :(

Why are so many "cube" tanks rectangular?? Am I missing something? Did I forget to take a class??

[Delphinus]

Whoever came up with the name "angel" for that kind of fish? It just seems to me they are anything but? By the same reasoning, a "flame hawkfish" should be a .. a blue .. a blue .. um .. what's the complete opposite of a hawk? Hmm .. Ok I know! A "blue pigeon".

[JDigital]

Why are so many "cube" tanks rectangular?? Am I missing something? Did I forget to take a class??

It all comes down to perspective. My top down perspective might be a 2'x2' cube, when your perspective from the front is 2'x1' rectangle. :mrgreen:

Cubes have 3 dimensions though ? What you are describing is only in 2 dimensions.

I think the proper term for all of these supposed cube tanks is a rectangular prism. Unless it is truly a cube. :-)

Naww, Prism would have 3 sides would it not? More like just a Block LOL Ya Ohhh Come look at my Block tank. ya that doesnt sound as cool as Cube LMAO. But Cube is all sides same dimensions.

Well, there are Cubes (by your definition), 1/2 Cubes, and x/y Cubes... Dunno why I'm defending the cubers!.. I shut down my HALF-cube already. :lol:

Actually, a prism is just an object that has the same cross-section along a length, so in this case it is a rectangular prism. In fact, we can generalize them and refer to them as cuboid (a box-shaped object). It has six flat sides and all angles are right angles. And all of its faces are rectangles. There also exists square prisms when two of the lengths are equal, but even those can be classified as rectangular prisms.

the ammonia levels are really high... how much money do i have to spend on water to get them down :(

[kien]

Don't worry about it. You have nothing in your tank so it is okay. The tank is cycling and this is part of the process. Once the bacteria starts to develop it will consume the ammonia and convert it to Nitrite, then Nitrate.. thus is the cycle :-)

still have to do some what of a water change right? or what is it that i need to do water changes to remove?

[kien]

At this point in your cycle I would not worry about doing water changes. I would let it runs its course. You would want to do water changes if you had livestock in there that would be harmed due to your high levels of Ammonia.. but you don't so its okay. You'll do water changes towards the end of the cycle to remove the final product Nitrite. Once the tank has finished cycling there should be a balance of bacteria which will convert Ammonia into Nitrite and Nitrite to Nitrate so you should not get readings for Ammonia or Nitrite. Then just water changes to remove the Nitrite.

you mean to remove nitrate :p so many thing, im used to my freshwater tank and the cycle is all done with fish so yea, thank you

[kien]

Ya sorry, nitrate, my bad :-)

Some people don't believe in using fish to help the cycle along, some do. I think it is a bit cruel because the cycle is a very harsh environment. In salt water we are a little lucky in that we can use live rock. Likely what's happening is all the formerly live stuff (micro and some macro organisms) that was on your "live rock" is dieing off and causing the ammonia spike. In a way you can think of it as a blessing. Some people don't get such a reaction so they have to resort to other methods to jumpstart their cycle by adding stuff to their tank.. either fish or chemicals.

[Chase31]

this makes me think back to last year in 20 Bio the nitrogen cycle :p
i understand it but in fresh you have to do the changes often but i gess if theres nothing in there :p

[kien]

Ya, if you had livestock in there you'd definitely want to intervene with some water changes. But then in my opinion you shouldn't be cycling with livestock :P

[Chase31]

new thought then, when will this cycle be over :( i guess i can be patient

[kien]

new thought then, when will this cycle be over :( i guess i can be patient

It is over when it is over :lol:

There is a long answer and there is a short answer. The short answer is, when Ammonia and Nitrites measure zero. I will spare you my long answer.

Is glass a liquid or a solid?

Guess it all depends when you accidentally break it.:wink:

[banditpowdercoat]

Is glass a liquid or a solid?

It is the solidest liquid known to man. Or is it the liquidest solid?

[Chase31]

Is glass a liquid or a solid?

depends on the type of glass
If your house is hotter then 1500 °C, or about 2700 °F its a liquid
any colder then that and its a solid

[Zoaelite]

depends on the type of glass
If your house is hotter then 1500 °C, or about 2700 °F its a liquid

Your all wrong glass is considered "highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter that is neither liquid nor solid", some good reading here for you Sphelps. (Don't worry there's nothing about Mangroves on there :wink:)

Turns out glass is an amorphous solid and not a liquid (these are not the same). The stories of old windows being thicker at the bottom and that glass flows slowly as a high viscous fluid is a myth.

It's a good example on how google and the rest of the internet is actually making people dumber :wink:
Don't believe everything you read over common sense.

Old manufacturing methods resulted in inconsistent thickness and installation methods created the preference to place the thicker side down.

[freezetyle]

During a lecture a linguistics professor said to his students, "In english, a double negative forms a positive. For example, 'He doesn't have no apples' actually means he does have apples. in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is actually still a negative. How ever, there is NO language in which a double positive can form a negative"

Just then, one of his students huffed and said "Yeah, right..."

Sorry to hear :( Always sad to see a fish friend on the floor..

Under normal conditions your wrasse could be very peaceful and unlikely to jump, unlike a lot of wrasses that seem to enjoy doing it just for fun.. but yours may have been startled by say, a cat or even some sort noise or vibration? Didn't your Purple Tang end up on the floor not long ago? I've never known Tangs to jump! But then, any fish that is severely startled can jump. :cry: They're not even intending to jump, they are just instinctively looking for a quick getaway which often ends up being what they think is a lot of water straight above them..

Ahh, thanks Kien can always count on you for some logic :smile:. It happened sometime @ night between 2am and 9am when I was asleep. Lights were off and it was quite so either the cat spooked him (Which is a bigger possibility) or some other fish did.

This hobby is frustrating sometimes, I feel worse over the loss of a life rather than the loss of cash. I would of spent $300.00 on the wrasse if he would just STAY IN MY TANK!

yeah that was the one. Star Trek XXIV: Where da whales go?

[Delphinus]

Geez, some nerds you guys are. The whales never left earth, they just died out, and the aliens who were their friends were ticked off when they came looking for them and couldn't find them. So Kirk and and New Spock went back in time to get a pair to tell the probe "No, no, we're here still, it's cool" and the probe went home without further ado. Sheesh! :p

sperm whales?

That is unless you are confusing Star Trek IV with The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy where all the Dolphins left planet earth. There is also a whale in there as well but all he does is free fall for a while.. No whale humping Im afraid.

Ya I hate those lids!! I still have a couple of pails of the super old IO buckets like 5 years ago when they used to twist/screw on with threads and a lock. So now I just buy the boxes of IO and empty the plastic bags into my old buckets. I HATE those new pales..

[Delphinus]

If those are the super old ones would would you call the ones I have from 10 years ago before they switched to threaded lids? :) What are the new ones like? I've been buying boxes now for a while on account that they're easier to recycle and I have enough of a bucket pile still even though the supply is slowly dwindling...

[reefermadness]

This was my random reef thought last night.

Did anyone collect sports cards as a kid? Going to trade shows, trading and buying expensive cards to get the ones you have been drooling over?

Well now I do the same thing. Only now its corals. With corals that I see Im like.....need um, need um , got um got um , need um, got um.

The collection is never done. ;)

What is that saying about a boy never grows up his toys just get more expensive.

[Delphinus]

I thought you quit drinking. :wink:

When I was Lorenzo's age I quit drinking almost every weekend. You have to go to bed sooner or later.

So why do some young people (and some not so young) feel the need to create multiple accounts and think they are smarter than everyone else? Is this the work of the id, ego or superego (using psychology terminology)?

Have seen this happen multiple times on both BCA and now Canreef.

[lockrookie]

it could be a popularity thing maybe some ppl like one name more than the other.. i used to run a chat room and ppl had up to ten names i figured it was so that they could make it seem they are popular with talking to themself...sad part is when they actually hold up conversations with themselves for days you begin to wonder..

also dont be alarmed if for no apparent reason your significant other decided that they don't like a certain food anymore. When my sister was preggos she asked me to make a tomato sauce using meat. half way through cooking it she made me throw out the beef because she didn't like the smell anymore. I don't know how her husband put up with that all the time. One day i'll find out i guess

thats normal to me ive been married 7 going on 8 years and there has been alot of foods that she likes one week and not the next. alot of times we make different meals. im ok with that. i enjoy cooking:)

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

My wife Irene did the following when preggie:

No coffee, pop, or alcohol
Had fish oil & Melaleuca Prenatal vitamins & Materna pills (brain development)
Ate lots of fish (ie. mackerel) (brain food)
Drank lots of soya milk (for good skin)
Consumed coconut juice and dates (helps with delivery)
Try not to get her upset during her pregnancy - lower stress
Lots of prayers
Sing alot to the baby

I don't know if these help, but our baby girl was born after only 12 minutes of labour, has a full head of hair, great "China doll" complexion, loves music and is the smartest little girl I know:wink:

Me, I'm an aquarist and a childcare worker. I go through a full 500ml bottle of soft soap a week at work alone. On average I probably wash my hands over 60 times a day.

[fishoholic]

Ya I'd say at least 60 times a day. However they're not to bad but I notice that if I forget to put lots of hand cream on throughout the day then they get really dry and will crack. I work in an infant room so after every diaper change (6 kids to change at least 4 times a day) nose wipe, child coughing on me, food prep work etc. etc. I wash my hands. Also after every time I use the bathroom, because even though I don't pee on my hands, it's still gross to use the bathroom and not wash up after.

[lockrookie]

it may not be you peeing on your hands its the ones who do and touch the toilet you could have numerous samples from various donors. i use hands sanitizer after working at some ppl homes just rekeying thier locks. i feel like i need a shower after ... friday a landlord was kicking out tennants due to smell and sanitation.. for good reason i wish i had a gas mask. and i didnt even enter the home other than at each entrance. scary part is they had two kids living in there..tis sad

I've heard of calling someone sometimes calling me an ass before, but I have someone whose ass sometimes calls me. I guess he forgets to lock out his phone and I'll get these phone calls and I'll hear him talking to his dog or whatever. The first time (yes it's happened a few times now) it happened I said "Hello?" And I hear "So, do you want to order a pizza or something" and I was all "Uh, what? Are you asking me out on a date or something" then I hear someone else answer (his wife) and then some more talking and it took me a moment to realize that he didn't even know he had called me. this last weekend his ass called my office and left like a 5 minute voicemail.
