    Nano-y glory? More like macro-y! If you go to the photo forum, look at the sticky that I posted. there is a link to the Microsoft Image ReSize Tool. All you have to do is right-click the file and select "resize image". It's the best utility in the world!

    LOL That'd be great... except I'm on a Mac. ;-) Actually, the only reason it wasn't resized was because I'd posted directly from my phone. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Next time I'll wait to post until after I've resized.

    Mea culpa is a Latin phrase that translates into English as "my fault", or "my own fault". In order to emphasize the message, the adjective "maxima" may be inserted, resulting in "mea maxima culpa," which would translate as "my most [grievous] fault."


    In case anyone out here is as dumb as me!

    My wife REALLY loves my reef tank and we enjoy sitting on our little 12" tall chairs and looking at it all, however when it comes to maintenance she just don't understand all the workings and principles of it. So basically I do ALL the maintence even though I can depend on her to help whenever I need for her to do this that or the other too. We are together at least and we LOVE coral shopping trips to Austin (we're about 40 miles north). I wish a few shops would spring up in Waco! I am really considereing opening my own shop there my next great venture. LOL WOW I think I am rambling, sorry!

During a trip to Aquatek today she made the comment that "All I want is a tank where I can have a mandarin and a cardinal..."

    Well, lo and behold River City had a used 24g nano cube with stand on sale, so I picked it up for her as an early Valentine's Day gift and she's THRILLED with the idea. So, just an idea for you guys out there: if you can't beat 'em, beat 'em into submission with a tank of their own. ;-)
