Anyone here have xfire? For those that don't know, it's a small program that runs in the background and tracks the game you are playing and allows you to play with a buddy with a single click. It has a lot of other features too. This forum doesn't allow it in the sig, so if you have an xfire...

I'm trying to figure this out, I'm not sure it will work the way this forum is set up. I have a program called xfire. It tracks the video games I'm currently playing. It comes with a small .png pic that can be put on a forum signature line that shows, in real time, the games I'm playing and...

Did I wait for the tip over bars? Did I wait for my MSF training? Nooooo. I couldn't sit at my computer and just talk about motorcycling one more day. I hopped on, weaved (badly) to the end of my driveway, and took off--well, after stalling it out a couple times. First gear is a little more...

Finally came today. I'm been fighting with myself about whether to take a ride or not. After getting some good advice from the Concours Owner's Group forum, I think I'm just going to get tip bars for her and wait out the month for the safety course. It's going to be a hard month. Here she...

We just picked up Max, a 10 week old orange tabby, from the SPCA today, I didn't say anything beforehand because they were giving us a hard time and I didn't know if we were going to adopt the little guy. After talking with my vet, it turns out that everyone is given a hard time, there was...

There's an alarming trend I've started to notice lately--online stores and lfs are getting closer and closer in price. I used to buy all my equipment online because it was much cheaper. However, I've had to buy a few things recently for my tanks (2 lights and gravel), and I've actually found...

OK, I have never heard of this. I don't know what I did or what caused it. My fish are ok so far but I'm worried about it. As some of you know, I did a major overhaul to my tank recently. I wanted to avoid cycling so I took it easy. I just replaced the gravel and did a pwc and left it at that...

My planted tank failed miserably. I'm going back to basics for a while, maybe forever. I just picked up a new NO fluorescent strip light to replace the CF one, and I'm cleaning out all the plants (what's left of them). I'm going to leave the java fern and that's it. I'm sucking out all the...

I use firefox. AA.com doesn't show up on live bookmarks like other sites with rss feeds. Usually, when I go to a page with a live feed, an icon appears in the address bar--I just have to click on it to put it in my bookmarks. CNN.com, BBC.co.uk, NPR.org are a few examples. Any ideas why this is?

So I finally got around to cleaning my tanks, and noticed moisture droplets in my submersible heater. This means I got a leak, right? Could it just be condensation because of the cooling room temperature? I'm looking at getting new heaters anyway, I want ones with an external control.

On Monday, I walked into my physics class late. I was exhausted from working my third shift job and overslept. I couldn’t skip class, because there was a test that day. So I went in, apologized to the teacher, and sat down. He handed me the test, and I started to work on it—or, more...

Just wondering if anyone else has a tank with only one fish in it. I have my 10 gallon with my yellow lab and I must say, there's days when I wish it was my only tank (I'm not having a good time with my planted tank). Believe it or not that tank is liked by more people than my 30 gallon...

I'm back, and exhausted. What a trip! Just got finished skimming the 9,662 posts--good thing this site can survive without me :D. We went to Connecticut first, had a great time with some old friends and hung out with family. We drove to New Hampshire next. We had an awesome campsite...

Well, tomorrow is the day. I'm packing up the car today, and the wife and I are leaving first thing after work tomorrow (I work third shift so that's 8AM). Gone for two weeks, the longest vacation I've had in 12 years. I have a couple stops planned--CT to visit family, NH to climb Mt...

I'm going on a two-week vacation on Friday, and my wife's mother and sister will be looking after the tank while I'm gone. This is the first time away from my tank since I went fully planted. It eats through nitrates and phosphorous like nobody's business. I've been using Seachem's liquid...

One of the products of burning fossil fuel is CO2, a "greenhouse gas" thought to contribute to global warming. Probably the wrong forum for this, but it's semi-fish related and it's 3:30 AM so bear with me. I'm still researching that DIY CO2 project, and was thinking about the products of...

I'm selling my wife's iMac to build her a PC. I am the house tech support guy and macs and I don't get along well. The asking price is $1000, with 2 day FEDEX shipping free (should save you about $30-$60 dollars depending on where you live). Here's the specs: Machine Model: iMac CPU...

Some of you may want to tune in tonight: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/press/2308.html Be sure to check your TV listings, it's actually 10PM for me.

Things are going well with my tank, it is teeming with life and everything seems to be working well. However, I have a question about how my plants grow. The rotala and wistera are becoming all roots. I actually pulled the rotala out, trimmed about 4" off the top and replanted it, but it's...

For those who don't know, I mix my own water for my tanks. I fill 3 5-gallon jugs with store-bought ro water, and put all that water into a big plastic tub, add the required salts and other additives, and let it mix with a small powerhead and warm up a bit with a small heater. I currently...

After feeding them and waiting for an hour or so to coax them out, I finally got a picture of one of the baby badis. Sorry the pic is so lousy, I'm looking into getting a new digi cam to replace my 1.3 mp dinosaur.

Funny petco pic I found On second thought, let me get the picture by itself, the site's not family friendly.

Since I started my planted tank, it has become a veritable jungle in there. I always see my danios, my badis come out at dinner, and I only see my coolies when I'm cleaning and actually looking for them. Well, I finally found some shrimp for the tank, and was acclimating them, when I noticed a...
