Wish my circumstances would allow me to own one

LOL, you'd end up with fish looking like your avatar - tweaker tropicals! :nilly:

Haha, don't think I'll try drinking methylamine any time soon :dead%fish

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/artic ... d=10852018 Is there some sort of black market for fish in NZ?

I like the new layout, although it seems mostly cosmetic with some new privacy features. I just clicked on Library and there were all my pics, in the same album structure as before the change. I can't see what the fuss is about :dunno:

Just read that Dave Grohl will be back on the drums for the Queens of the Stone Age on next year's album

Bzzzt - Glass is an amorphous solid. It's an urban myth that it's a liquid that slowly flows over time :smln:

I saw QotSA a few years ago at the BDO. The PA kept cutting out and spoilt their set, but they did another set later on on a different stage, which I was lucky enough to see. One of the best live rock acts ever IMO :bounce:

+1 There's no point in arguing about something as subjective as music. Although I feel sorry for people who say there's been no good music since or that genre x is crap and I only listen to genre y. Try expanding your horizons a little, and use some interweb services to find some new bands for you. There's plenty of sites that'll let you put in some favs and then suggest something new for you. The interweb is an awesome source for music :bounce:

Do yourself a favour - get an external USB drive and get in the habit of backing your data up every week :sage: Use a robocopy script to do a weekly differential backup 8)

I did some more reading on this. Apparently it is legit, and the plan is to use renewable energy sources (solar, hydro) to supply energy for the process. Pretty cool if it is commercially viable 8)

There, fixed that for you

Haha, it's the bird :slfg:

How do you know they're staged shots?

I doubt we'll get to the bottom of this...

Nero - BBC1 Essential Mix recorded live at Hackney Weekend, 24th June 2012 Play it loud with the bass up :bounce:

Bubbles displace water as they form, but they're basically at the same pressure as the air outside the water is what I'm saying. If they were formed in deep water they'd be at a higher pressure than the same volume of air at the surface, but the change in pressure in a few feet of water is negligible.

Agreed, but you've lost me again - I don't see what that has to do with what we're discussing? The air pumping through your airstone is the same as the air at the surface of the tank. I'd imagine the surface area of all the bubbles combined greatly exceeds the area of the tank's surface, therefore the gas exchange of a bubbler exceeds the gas exchange at the tank's surface surface, and the benefit is direct gas exchange by the bubbles, not just increased surface agitation. Vaguely recalling high school physics, I'd have thought you'd get more gas dissolving into water if bubbles are at a higher pressure than ambient atmospheric pressure? But then I don't think bubbles would be at a higher pressure in just a meter or so of water anyhow. BTW, sorry to the OP for the hijack :oops:

Any chance you can link to some research that proves this? I don't get your refreshing comment, sorry. I wouldn't have thought each bubble's going to exhaust it's O2 exchanging capacity in the few seconds it's submersed?

I disagree. The surface area of the bubbles would far exceed the area of the tank's surface, so gas exchange is increased directly.

The main one - it's part num 734315 in this pic It's part num 734315 in this pic. Is this the same as your filter?

Try lubing the seal with Vaseline. Remove it completely, clean and dry it, then lube it before putting it back in.

Still on Earth at the moment. They're catching the next rocket up. Did you follow the link in my post above? It'll be really interesting to see how they adapt to micro-gravity in orbit :dead%fish :dead%fish :dead%fish :dead%fish :dead%fish I bet that's the most expensive aquarium ever, in terms of $$ per ml
