    You'll never have to clean out the skimmer cup again! Isn't that what kids are for?

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    ...And I don't even eat pig. Maybe that's how I ended up so confused. Although I see people eating Prosciutto and Lardo and I can't help but want to try some. Turkey bacon just doesn't cutt it.

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    I guess I left out the verb.... Eat pig butt. Eat a pig's butt. Or just eat pig. Yep, cabin fever.

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    I believe it is a non-denominational event. :) Just local hobbyists getting together to pig butt.

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    Yep. I went to college at Hamilton Tech a long time ago in Davenport. (I think I've spent too much time in "higher learning". I need to grow up already.) I lived on the Illinois side, but I guarantee that if I ever end up back close to home, I'll be in Iowa. Illinois is on the same...

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! They were good times. On a completely different note, I stopped by a new store in Davenport Ia, across the water from my old home town a few months ago when I was back there. It was really...

    First time posting

    Welcome Kim. Besides pictures of the current setup, we'd love to hear your plans for the future build. I'm one of those in the hobby that enjoys the build as much as sitting back and enjoying the work. (Then again, I'm never done building. :) )

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    As much as I'd like to imagine you singing this to everyone, I couldn't help but link in a live audio clip. I apologize in advance to the mods if this isn't Kosher to link up. I'm transported back to a time when I was sitting by my Pa's side in a combine harvesting corn or soy beans in a field...

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    I hope we have a place where we can put everyone up! As of right now, I'll be living in the basement of my new surrogate mother-in-law. My wife is staying with a friend-of-a-friend's-friend. She's a really nice lady, but we'd obviously prefer to have our own place. It's going to be...

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    Sorry Lorrie. You know I'm only a few months away from a permanent move to the mile high city. I'm still rooting for the Hawks! My wife is already there and isn't a sports fan but we still considered getting her a 12th man jersey just to antagonize her co-workers. The good news is, I'll only...

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    What kind of robotics work are they doing at the school? Are they controlling it with some embedded system, or a remote control,... What kind of movement/functionality are they trying to get out of the bot? I wish they had offered something like that when I was in high school. The coolest...

    Where has all the particpation gone???

    Alright Peppy, I've been skimming the thread for a while. I'm in, as long as there's free beer. Have you been building anything lately non-reef related? I know your tank was on hold the last I saw, but guys like us can't help but be working on something. Building is therapeutic.

    Dead live rock sitting in rubber maid?

    I'd love to get some advice from the experts here on the various methods to "cooking" and curing the rock. I've seen some people cycle the rock for long periods making sure no light reaches the rock. I've seen people cycle the rock with lights on. I've seen people using chemicals like LaCl (I'd...

    Who wants to be able to swim with your coral?

    Most of the metal is aluminum but there are a few stainless pieces like the 1/4" shafts for all the gearing. The only thing I can think of that won't stand up to the salty humid conditions are the black fasteners holding all the aluminum brackets together. They sell those in stainless but...

    Who wants to be able to swim with your coral?

    We were able to get some more work done. The camera is now streaming locally to a monitor and all 5-degrees of freedom are working now. There's still a lot of work to do cleaning up the wires and tweaking how the hardware is controlled in the software. The video doesn't convey the quality...

    Who wants to be able to swim with your coral?

    We're lucky to have been able to pick the project we wanted to work on. Many of the students that waited until the last minute have been assigned to work that they have no interest in. We're really enjoying the process.

    Another custom tank out the door!

    It refers to the method of exporting water. (The type of overflow). Someone smarter than I am can give you the specifics because I'm sure I'll get something wrong. It looks like the overflow doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the tank like you might see in a Marineland tank with built-in...
