Many of the PetsMart fish are the bottom of the barrel fish from breeders since PetsMart wants the best/lowest prices on what they buy. Most breeders will keep the best fish for themselves, the next best would go to their closest friends who are also breeders, then to their local customers, aquarium societies, LFS […]
Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
Over the years, I have only had one problem with a Dell tech. The guy would not listen to me and treated me like I was some kind of a dummy, making me repeat all the stuff I had already done and told him about. What I did was to pretend I was running […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
Hey Ray, my husband is a bit of a computer tech (he fixes my computers when I break them, LOL). You might find that when you do get a new computer that windows xp won’t be too bad of an upgrade for your operating system. I was a long time windows xp […]

Your machine may be infected with malware, which pretty […]
I would upgrade the OS to XP, but then I thought that Vista would be OK…
I have had XP at work for a long time and it works well, and is not a great leap from 98 from a user standpoint. Everything that is different is better.

Hello guys, Just want you guys to know I appreciate all of your concerns and suggestions regarding my plight, including support from my fellow club members, senior centers and software recommendations from all posts up until 8:24 last night. I’ll take them all under consideration, and while I’d just […]
All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.
