    I was referring to an old fish of mine. He was huge and loved to be petted. He had the best personality of any fish I have ever had....or will ever again.

    I used to love my fish tanks. Started with African Cichlids, then moved to salt water. At my peak I had 2x 60g, one 55g, a 30g and a 20g (sick tank). Always wanted a reef tank, but I couldn’t afford the lighting or the chiller…

    You've gotta ask yourself:
    So... some guys (and you know it was guys) were out drivin' around in their BYD, drinkin' beer. They stopped somewhere in the middle of nowhere. One of them raised his bottle towards the abyss and said*

    Nothing wrong with that as it effectively increases the wire gauge. The question I have, what is that white wire sticking up in the air for?

    Thx. First time I've seen it so just wondering. It was in a biwiring thread in the Salk forum at Audio Circle.

    skipshot12 ID'd it. The wire is an EVS Ground Enhancer.

    Not until Christmas. It is going to be part of a gift set with Michael Jackson and Bruce Jenner.
