My own tank is 30" tall, and at times I wish it was a few inches less. I can't reach to the substrate when something needs moving or if I drop something. Forceps are used often for those last few inches.

I feel your pain. I only have access from the back which makes it worse plus the fact that the teeth of my overflow go straight across the whole tank. Nothing like shredded armpits in salt water.

Jonathan, why would you need 12 400w lights over your tank? Aren't the dimensions 8' x 4' x 3'? I would think 8 would have been enough.

Yeah, I hate using the forceps though, especially when trying to place a plug. My tank dimensions are actually 8' x 5' x 35"...and based on Steve Weast having 14 x 400W on a 6' x 8' x 30" deep tank, my guess is that I would be in around 12. That's really only 4 lamps per third of the tank and 4.8W/gal.

Obviously I don't subscribe to the W/gal. theory, but that is where I was making my decision from.

Now that sounds good Sherman. Next time drop a bottle of the ASP in it while it's cooking and it will be perfect!

old...You're only as old as the woman you feel. That's why I walk around with a pocket full of candy! Now, where's the 25 yo asian hottie...Viva, vivaaaa, Viagra!!!! :lol:

Sherman, could you post or pm the recipe that your using for your chilli. It certainly sounds good.

mrcrab I'd like to see you explain to the police why you'd have a pocket full of candy, especially if your after 25yo's, I would have thought you'd need a pocket full of Ben Franklins

:lol:

No, that was the USS Nimitz after Operation Southern Watch in 94'. Oldest and first commissioned nuclear aircraft carrier with original fuel core.

looks like it will be a good flick, but I get the feeling the dog dies. And that always ticks me off.

Come on Barry, I am not even 40 yet. IIRC.

Having FRESH Bockwurst for dinner tonight. That's the kind of food my loving wife brings home to her two Jew Boys. You know, pork and veal, surrounded by pork! Holy cow, if I didn't have that strange Jew attraction to pot stickers, I'd go off on her...

Never could figure that out anyway. I think it's because you can't see that pot stickers are pork, and you know how us Jews only believe in what we can see.
