My first experience with eggcrate

kyryah · #1 04-05-2009, 06:24 PM

This forum is full of extremely helpful information, but as of yet I have not seen it mentioned that the air speed velocity of a flying piece of eggcrate is 10 times the equivalant of the air speed velocity of an un-laden swallow, be it either a European swallow or an African swallow.

Be ye warned.

Other than that, I started my 30 gal tall build! I am flipping excited, and yes I am taking pictures.

But is the air speed of the egg crate ten times the velocity of a coconut, especially if thrown rather than carried by a swallow of either kind?

Ah, your mother smells of elder berries! To apologize, you must cut down the grandest tree in the forest with.... A HERRING! KNEE! KNEE! KNEEE!

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is not a basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power comes from a mandate by the masses, not some fascile aquatic ceremony. If I went around claiming to be king because some watery tart lobbed a sword at me....

I can't remember the rest, lol, but you got to admit that that was pretty good

Well, so far I drilled my hand, and had to take part of the background apart because at one point it stopped fitting in the tank (lucky I obsessively check for fit, lol.) I originally meant it to be a non-permanant, drop in background, but I put to much wood on it for that, it is much too heavy.

This is my first time doing this, guys! I am so excited!

Monty python? Holy grail? Love it...

LOL, I have an original VHS, and a bottle of Monty Python's Holy Ail (tempered over burning witches) and an article out of my local newspaper titled "Bring out your dead!" that is about the castle in Scotland where it was filmed... Apparantly people go there and re-inact the movie, and they hand out coconuts

I was so happy that Chu got it, lol, when I posted it I was afraid I was the only MP geek around and everyone would be wondering what the heck I was talking about, lol.

I am a little irritated, the part I had to remove was where my water fall was supposed to be, now I have to rethink this a bit... I will try to get some of the pics up tomorrow.

My water area is going to be 12" X 24" X 10", fish suggestions? I was thinking some neon tetras, because they are small and school nicely and have color. Would it be big enough for a Butterfly fish?

I just calculated it, and the water area will be 12 and a half gallons, approximately.

I need to pick a critter to live in this thing, too, lol.

if you have good stock and the water parameters, then neons will be fine... i find in my area all the neons are diseased... everyone says neon tetra disease isn't around anymore, but my local stock all seems to show signs and i'm not interested in taking that chance... as for butterflys are you talking goldfish???... they should be fine also... let me see the pics and i'll come up w/ something, i promise!
