Found it, Thanks, $9.42 at Lowe's for a 2'x4' sheet.

Hello: I am looking for some egg crate stuff to put in my sump for my fuge project. I think that I read somewhere that you can get the stuff in the lighting section of Lowes. Of course they did not know what I was talking about. Could someone give me some guidance on where to get the stuff...

Hello Nat: Here are some radical ideas. First, I would have a cement floor with a drain in the middle. Second, Have you thought about putting a garage door in as that will give you lots of room to move things in and out. Second, If you made a square plywood tank, and then used that rubber...

Nat: PM you Bob

I like the idea of a shark/ray tank. Maybe a couple of snow flake eels. Bob

Hello: I get my stuff from Premium Aquatics which is one of the sponsors. I like the black and white legged crabs as they last a long time and don't hurt anything. Give them a call and they will set you up with what you need. Try get everything at once to cut down on shipping costs. Bob

Hello Nat: I think the system will work. Looks like in a power outage all extra water will drain into the lower sump which is big enough to handle the extra water. In the event of sump 1 pump failure, sump 2 pump will still move water; likewise, if pump 2 fails, pump 1 still moves water. The...

Hello Nat: Could you go into a little detail on any procedure that you did to get them to mate in the first place? In other words, what would it take me to have a pair of clowns lay eggs? There have been some very good articles on growing food and such so I feel that I have that part down. I...

Hello: If you are not going to use the Actinics, then you will want to choose a bulb that has more blue in it's color spectrum. You might want something in the 6.5K or 10K range. Tests have showed that the 20K lose some of the spectrum faster then the 6.5k and 10K. If you are going with a...

Hello: Some of the articles that I have been reading are suggesting (through extensive tests) that the pluse start may provide a longer bulb life. Both ballasts will work for lighting a MH bulb. Bob

How much salt do you have in the water? Low salt and lead to kidney failure after a few years.

Thanks to all who have helped me out. Thanks Matt for pointing out the article as I missed it. I will look into some of DT's stuff. Bob

Hello: As a person that does a lot of wood cutting, I can recommend the Delta contractors 10" table saw. They run very smooth, can be put on a portable stand, last a life time, and have a good resale value. I can repeatably get cuts to 1/32. If you are looking at a used saw, make sure to...
