    How do you change your water?

    python for my main (75gal) tank. for my small tank (15) I have a turkey baster to suck up anything from the bottom and then I squirt it into a gallon jug that I have cut the top off of but kept the handle. then I scoop more water out with the jug and dump it on my plants and use the jug to get...

    Biotope

    I have a few half done on my other computer, but it's broke :( I asked my daughter if she would like to do one about a meeting from a kids perspective. here is what she "wrote": I ate cookies. I think maybe that would be a good article if written (or dictated) by someone a bit older :lol:

    Who's going to the ACA

    I have a prius. So gas is not the problem for me ;) but I do have two small kids and I don't think they would like the talks much (especilly the older one) and I don't think I could get a room. :( I would love to see the talk about the convicts though.....

    What are you brining to the June Mini-auction

    I might be intrested in some endlers. I don't know if I want a whole bag of them though. maybe just a pair or trio? I keep thinking of getting rid of my cardinal tetras, would anyone be intrested?

    Low maintenance plant?

    my husband doesn't want a co2 tank with the kids (he thinks it will shoot someone in the head or something :roll: ) so I have med/high light and no added co2. I do have algae, but my pleco loves the stuff (Chaetostoma sp?) and it's not bad with her help. I have various swords including kliner...

    I had a Blast at the Meeting!

    me too. I strongly prefer pizza over wings or meatballs. and it does sound easier to setup and dispose of :)

    New programs?

    what about just keeping a list of people who keep CARES fish? maybe publish that list in the Biotope? I like the idea of having an ACA Cares Coordinator too. do we get extra bap points for breeding cares fish? if not we should do that too.

    Dues / Renewal

    I can not drive up to the ATM. Then I would be driving on the sidewalk. yeah. stupid bank. but I like them otherwise. and walking at all right now is difficult at best, but that should be fixed by the march meeting ;) as for a sitter I am lucky when my husband is home and can watch our...

    Dues / Renewal

    yeah. I do have a "checking" account, but I haven't ordered checks in many years. I don't have to. Everyone takes online payments now. But I do know people who don't have a checking account. I used to cash paychecks for a friend of mine because she didn't have a checking account. They needed an...

    Dues / Renewal

    it would be $20.91 to pay through paypal. (probably rounded to $21?) to pay by mail you need to order checks (about $15?) or get a money order ($.50-$2), then buy stamps (another $4-$5). Then buy envelopes ($4). Plus all the gas running around to get this stuff... so that is a total (including...

    Dues / Renewal

    not to send money. it costs a % of every payment you recive IF you have the upgraded account. Having an upgraded acccount lets you take payments made by credit card (rather then funded, which is money that is in the payees paypal account or direct from their bank account). Non upgraded (basic)...

    Dues / Renewal

    I just want to second this. I have a 'checking' account, but I haven't actually had a check in years and years. My husband pays most of the regular bills (cars, phone, etc) but he doens't use checks either. He actually got rid of his one credit card that wouldnt take online payments because of...

    What type of sponge filter do you use.

    I have a hydro I got in a grab bag. But if I needed a bunch I would make them. Or just go with the mat filters.....

    Aca 2009

    The traffic in Columbus sucks. If you do fly in and rent a car take 270 south to 71 south instead of going through the city (670 or 70 to 71). For driving it has taken me anywhere from 7-9 hours to get to Columbus from Fort Meade (depending on weather and traffic). I have done it 3 times in...

    CCA Forum Suggestions,Comments and bugs

    I just clicked "mark all read" at the bottom. worked fine :D Yeah. I set up a forum (phpbb though) a while back. I didn't do as much on it as my husband since he actually knows programming stuff. but I remember it took him days to get the colors and stuff I asked for.

    best filter

    When I was younger I really liked the Aquaclears. I still do. But right now I am using a diy dump filter. I posted about it on here a while back. And I submitted more details on it's construction (along with the canopy) for the Biotope. My 10 gal quarantine tank has a hob (whisper I think? it...

    I love VB. it is my favorite bb. :D I know you said there will be some more layouts. I saw the aqua default, and the black. but they both have very very small fonts. The only one easy to read is Pat's. Is there a way to change just that? or can there be a layout with it bigger? also...
