Hi, Some time ago I purchased this aquarium kit at a garage sale, and have since decided I don't want to use it, and I thought one of you might. It is not hardcore hobbyist gear, and is made of plexi, but hey, it has a built in light, a filter thingie, a pump, and it all works. Oh, and by the...

These photos were taken earlier this summer but they somehow got lost on my computer. I found them again so here they are. It had been several years since I had visited the TN aquarium, so I was in the area one day and decided to visit. There was a new building that was in the process of being...

Here is my new-ish highland set up: It was designed by me, but my dad built it for me... :P (What a great dad :D ) It is a tube thing with a fan on the end of it, and an opening for the ultrasonic humidifier. Pretty simple, but also pretty effective. I only keep it on at night, and the plants...

Hey guys, I posted this on a canadian reef forum and figured I should ask here as well. Anyone have experience with these fixtures? are they safe?? thanks guys V

Hi everyone I was wondering what your seed setups for sarracenia seeds are and what would be best for my seeds. Currently, I have a 5 foot crate that I built with lights 3 feet from the bottom and a cooling fan for the lights in a separate compartment above. Is 3 feet too close to the seeds? I...

So, last fall, as I was getting ready to mulch my dormant outdoor CPs for the winter, I found several VFT seedlings in amongst the LFS in the pot, which was a very pleasant surprise for me, as I thought that I had collected all of the seed... I thought it might be fun to try my hand at growing...

lil methamphetamine combined with a woman with obsessive compulsive disorder and any project is possible.....only took her 72 hours of working around the clock to do the entire 3500 square foot floor with a hand sander :grin: ok so no meth was involved......local Elks Lodge is the only...

I have seen a cool growing chanber done years ago where a guy used a freezer onthe bottome to cool the tank as needed. I want to do that but on a larger scale. I want to build a med/large workshop and use an entire wall to make a cool growing chamber. Prolly 8-10 foot long and 3-4 foot deep...

For years I have been growing my Sarracenia in tubs owing to the fact that I moved a lot. Finally I bought a house in Corvallis, Oregon and decided to build my dream bog. I started in April of 2010, and like all good DIY projects, it took way longer than I ever expected. By the time I built the...

I recently came into possession of two rifles that my dad owned some 20 odd years ago, and sold off to my grandparents.... Neither rifle is stock any more, and are very highly modified, and incredibly accurate.... One is a Remington model 40XB .308 with a full floated Shilen bull barrel and the...

I found this. And I love it. My mom and I cried because we were laughing so hard. I copy/pasted directly from http://www.floridaspizza.com/2010/11/15/so-you-want-to-move-to-florida-part-1-the-weather/, only because I wanted to make my own annotations and had to clean up the colorful language...

So I'm about to buy myself an RO unit (Whee!) and I'd like some input. Poking around the net, it seems reefers tend to highly recommend SpectraPure, so that's the brand I'm looking at. I am also planning on getting one with a DI cartridge so that when the day comes I finally set up a saltwater...

starting to get a tad torqued over this whole Obama birth certificate issue and "news organizations" not doing their due diligence..... first let me say nothing would make me happier than it proved a fake and think its absolutely stupid and disgraceful it took Obama 3 years to release it...

My father-in-law bought for my wife, two years ago, a Nepenthes for Mother's Day. To the best of my knowledge, from leaf and pitcher comparisons, it appears to be N. ventrata, or possibly another cross of either or both parents. It was not id'd when he purchased it (at a farmer's market in...

I am looking for some designs for pots to grow utric's in. I wanted something more than the boring plastic we all use. I am talking with a very good potter out of Coos Bay Or. Something with the water tray built in. please post any and all suggestions you like. Drawings are even better...

When I first built my shade house I thought that I would never run out of space or have plants that were too big. But then I bought a few plants– ok, more than a few… And others grew taller and taller… Everybody was getting a bit cramped! What to do? My wife and daughter...

Since carnivorous availability changes with the seasons here, I figured I'd run into Lowe's to see if they'd started getting some things in since it's warming up a bit now. Lo and behold, they had a relatively fresh shipment of plants in. VFTs, VFTs... tons of VFTs. Until I spotted two cubes...

Nepenthes are great. But growing them in enclosed spaces cramps their style and beauty. Nepenthes tend to look their best in large hanging baskets. or in large pots with a trellis or something to climb. It's easier said than done, there would definitely be issues to work out. One challenge...

I have a male veiled chameleon who is currently living in a huge cage I built him that is 4ft x 2.5ft x 5ft (L x W x H). I didn't do a very nice finish on the outside, so it looks a little sloppy, and the door is the whole front panel so it takes up a lot of space when it opens. I have decided...
