Fuss Up how much is the most you've spent
Comments (29)Jane I am laughing! I picture you beautiful house with the maze of cords and lights! Buy higher watt cfls for the lamps. Don't add more lamps. I actualy began taking away! It makes all the difference. H turned me on to this place for good bulbs (see link below). The colour of the bulbs are gorgeous! The site is a little tricky. 42w you will want a 5100k. You won't see that option until you click on the 42w for 7$. Click the 42w and then you will see the options. I think the 5100k are 14$ a piece. The 85 w is unbelievable. Its big but anything I had inside that was stalled popped right out! I can grow vanda types inside. No problem. I think they are about 26$. You can get away with a shorter run time with the more powerful lights. I know what you mean about tripping. Last winter I started 3 fires with extension cords and got a bruise the size of a grapefruit on my leg. I am happy to get rid of the balllast tubes. Kept on smashing my head on the edge! I looked like an orchid POW. You'll just have to hand out sunglasses at your door if you upgrade! I also had a visit by Chicago's Finest when I first moved in. I have an 85w in the window now. It keeps the burglars away. I grow little Dragon Trees I brought from FL. They look a lot like Cannabis when they are small. Have to keep them out of the ground floor window. Live next to a small restaurant that's packed with young YUPPIES on the w.e's. My lights are a cruel reality check after 6 beers and 4 shooters!

Comments (4)Sherry......I am wondering if you are stressing yourself out for nothing. Cories will sit with their fins up, down and part way in-between. Now having said that....When you bring in new fish....I HIGHLY recomment quarantine for 6 weeks to 2 month or longer.....even if you think they look healthy. Sometimes once they have been exposed to something in the pet stores...it doesn't show up right away......sometimes it takes a good 2 months to see signs and symptoms. Are your corys ...Corydoras punctatus? If you still suspect a problem with your cories.....put them in a seperate tank.....and do small partial water changes daily......watch when you feed to make sure they are all eating.

Comments (10)Thanks Maire_cat. I did read your previous post, but couldn't tell if it was something I could used on my own or if you had to adjust down below after it was placed in the stand. Looks like Orvis doesn't sell it anymore so the video doesn't work and the krinner has several models and a new one, too. If you have an opinion on which looks best, I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks Anglophilia, yes it takes two men to do this, but I do it on my own :-) I was thinking today that I think I replaced the stand once because the little foot pedal fell out and couldn't be located. I wonder if I have the cup from the old stand mixed up with the new stand. I'm going to take a look around and see if I see another cup out there. Maybe I saved it because it was still good, but isn't an exact match or something. It was a perfect, foolproof stand for a few years. Kellysar I love how that stand looks, esp that you can actually see how much water is there. It seems it would be perfect if only I didn't need a drilled tree! I've never heard of that. I cut my own tree (with help from my son) at a tree farm, so no drilling available. I can just imagine the disaster I could create trying to drill it myself :-) Anyone else have a stand they love?...See MoreHow to seal up a leaky tube
Comments (14)It warmed up a little so I spent a few minutes on it. I replaced the elbow with one from Lasco, and that DID fix the spraying leak at the elbow! But now I see that I have another (maybe two) leaks at the lower connector; the 1/2" to 3/4" reducer that screws in to the controller. I wasn't able to try heating it up yet, but I did put the hose clamp back on. I tightened it until I was afraid that I'd crack the connector, but it didn't seem to have any impact on the leak at all :-/ Here are some pics: The hose on the left goes to another controller in the back yard. I set it up last year and there are no problems there. The second one is simply a garden hose, and the third goes to another controller that I haven't set up yet (both are in the off position). The fourth (farthest right) is the one I'm working with now. Here you can see a small leak coming from just under the hose clamp. It's a fairly steady stream, though; I blew on it to remove any standing water just before taking this picture. This is the other side of the same connection. It's kind of hard to tell, but I THINK there's another slower leak on this side....See MoreOklaMoni
