    Dummy award???

    I would imagine it would rust pretty quick. All of the pumps and other electrical devices we have in our tanks create a magnetic field which will speed the process up. Certain types of stainless is magnetic. I can't remember which kind now but I've machined it before in areospace. Most of the...

    I've made it to Blue Sierra once to pick up some bulbs and check it out. Place is really nice with alot of variety. Indoor Reef is closer to me (in Tacoma), probably the smallest store I've ever been in but it's also the nicest. Aquarium Paradise in Tacoma is sometimes good, sometimes not...

    Proud Moment

    I've seen them practice at Seafair, which was pretty cool because they practice longer than they perform the show for, at least they did 14 years ago before the state started getting picky about their performances. For anyone that hasn't seen them in person, go see them no matter how far away...

    Pacific Coast Import Chiller. Beware of warranty!!!!!!

    The sad thing is he had to come to a message board and vent about it in order for the company to even notice it. If they're name hadn't been drug through the muck do you think the owner would be wanting to call him?? I work in the manufacturing industry and EVERYTHING we make is tested before...

    snow level here dropped down to 2000' or so the other day. had to shut Snoqualmie Pass down to clear the snow. Ski resorts and snowmobile dealers had a terrible winter.

    DIY needle wheel

    I wouldn't worry about these spinning apart. There's no way ANY pump is going to turn the RPM's that a die grinder will. Also check some of the industrial suppliers through the valley. Would make more sense for them to carry them instead of NAPA or Snap On. Only problem is I'm not sure you...

    Kids science projects

    Could always make a cannon and shoot them out, if the teacher complains just tell him to quit living in the dark ages and that there's this thing called technology advancement, LOL. Seriously, I'd be careful how you contain those springs, those things could do some serious damage if they came...

    Recent Drought Anouncement in Washington State

    How's the nutrient load on that water? I've often wondered about that. I look out and see the sun and think it's worth having a drought for this weather but I'm also a fisherman and know what this weather is going to do to our already dismal salmon and steelhead runs.

    Do you name your fish?

    never named any fish but back when I raised cows and pigs we'd name them things like ham, bacon and hamburger :badgrin:

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone!! Feeling like a newbie idiot at times here. LOL. And to think I almost didn't get the rock on the left because I wasn't sure it would fit. Actually if they got in 2 more pieces like that I'd pitch the one on the right now that life is starting to poke it's...

    The one that looks like sharp deer antlers feels pretty hard. Haven't checked the other ones, figured they've been stressed enough. This thing has gotten ALOT darker today. Seems like everytime I look at it it's darker. Discovered 2 more feather dusters and while I was looking at it earlier...

    I've seen more of a color range in other tanks but I like this one so much more. I've never seen one that looked so bright. Awesome job!!!!

    It's not much yet and still a long ways to go. I stopped by a small pet store down the street yesterday and discovered 2 nice pieces of rock. They're livestock is never very good but I wandered in while my daughter was selling girl scout cookies a few stores down. Seen these 2 pieces of rock...

    temp controller for fans

    If you're talking about the type of thermostat that goes on a furnace, they're low voltage. so you'd have to have them trigger a relay of some sort.
