Club? Heck I'd settle for 1 decent fish store these days around here!
I agree, too. I just have a petco.

Yeah California gets all the goodies! It's over saturated with aqua nerds (no pun intended...it's actually a compliment)! Hehe
Yea, it's really cool. Thanks to Brian for turning me on to SCAPE!
We have several decent, a few excellent and the rest are average... but I do feel lucky with the stores within 30 mins drive for me
Fish Nerd... I prefer Fish Nerd; please!
Really...you get decent weather and nice pet stores. So unfair.
Fish nerds? That's how my wife refers to my make believe friends on this site. Jealousy does not look good on her.

Maybe fish nerds would seem more fitting in my newb days of fish-only with awesome silk and plastic plants! Let's not forget the days when I thought it looked cool to bury my first plants in black gravel...funny part was they were anubias and java fern. Oops!
Ahhh..... THE LINEAR SCAPE! Another great scape by TGM's James Findley:
Update - DIY Conduit Light Suspension Project Complete!
Alright guys I haven't updated this thread with our latest milestone achievement here. I did a little research and figured out how to get some EMT Conduit Pipe bent, drill some holes, and ALSO with the help of Bill's Finnex Ray 2 hangers, I was able to suspend the light over the tank. I'm actually amazed that it came out somewhat decent -- especially coming from a non-DIY type of guy.
Here's the resource "HOW TO" thread that helped me in figuring out what to do:
How To: Build an ADA inspired lighting stand - Carolina Fish Talk
Here's my initial planning phase rendering. It came out close but not exact.
Here's me pretending to be a handyman...LOL
Nifty little step drill bit that came in handy... I drilled this holes 1" apart in order to give me the ability to raise and lower the fixture in 1" increments.
Here's how it attaches to the Ikea Expedit bookcase:
And FTS w/ DIY conduit suspension kit completed!
BTW, these bent rods that Bill fabricated were the life saver! I don't know what I would have done w/out them! Bill, seriously... make a side business making those! haha... They insert nice and snug into the Ray 2. I then just used the metal cable Bill hooked me up with too. And attached everything with S-Hooks.
Note: The DSM continues.. .this DIY conduit project happened before the DSM started... I was just too lazy to post about it. But it's worth doing for those of you interested in suspending a light fixture.
Yeah, yeah. Pick on Old Scales. LOL Hi Autumn.
Brian I love the Endler's color/pattern. When I get my BML I'm going to have the quad T5ho fixture extra. Seems to me it needs a 20L grow out tank to have a place to sit. Grow out some plants and have some Endlers would be cool. I blame Fresh2O for my 20 long lust. As mentioned, more aquatic GAS. OS.
