I'm going to call another win for getting 3rd place in the Beets thread. I think that's the best I've done since I started playing.

Back from looking for aquarium air pumps, not the commercial stuff, so far the biggest I could find is the Rena 400, one suitable for a 125 gallon aquarium.

Thanks Shannock and Happy Anniversary late! Sorry--I realized tonight I missed that thread...Win.

@Blurf: And an even more belated acknowledgment of your kind words. Many thanks.

@Vic: Would ebay help?

Aren't aquariums a bit expensive to get started?

I wouldn't think that a bubble machine would do well at blowing enough air to do much for a CPU. Unless the CPU was submerged in water...

I'm just on the lookout, I have an air pump already, I've just read some bad news about it on amazon. I do have a 125 gallon aquarium and lights(384w of 6700K bulbs) and other supplies, I'm just thankful I've not any fish in it as My filter maker seems to have gone out of business, thankfully though the design has spread, so I'll eventually get two better replacements with a 9w uv lamp in each, instead of the 5w uv I'm stuck with, I like gold fish, fancy ones, they need filtration, enough for 6-11 of them and plenty of live plants.

Phew! We are painting various parts of our house and I have spent much of the afternoon and evening cleaning out and boxing up the contents of several closets. I discovered that something from Class Insecta ate one of my coats. I also discovered that we have accumulated a ridiculous amount of useless stuff in the decade or so that we have been in this house. My new mantra is "less is more". I am also utterly convinced at this point that it would just be easier to commit arson and start from scratch!

Oh and here's a pic of My aquarium, I got it off of ebay with a little help and some gas money, this was taken a few years back, it's 6' long x 1.5' depth x 2' height, the aquarium that is, the stand is a bit larger. The aquarium is now to the right of the TV.


The blue bags on the shelf on the right is some of the 100lbs+ of aquarium gravel that I have.

If it is still in the box a decade after you moved in, and you have not used it yet, donate it or trash it...
