OK...how many miles do you think big heavy stone wheels on wooden axles lasted...Imagine all the stresses that no bearings or no suspension put on them...midnight;2243098; said:how can you compare this to old furniture that holds no weight on it?

I got them off Ebay from Captain Aquarium. They are Coralife 24" twin T5 freshwater lights, 31.99 each + shipping He also has good deals on sch 40/80 bulkhead adapters and Bio balls. I used the sch 80 bulkheads on my tanks they are great. I wont use anything else now. I filled a trash can full of his bio balls for my pond filter, although I don't think he sells bio balls in bulk like he used to.

I built my first boat a 12 years old with very little help from my dad. It was a El Toro...more of a dingy with a sail, two years later I built a Sunfish with out any help from dad. It was a much faster boat and more fun to sail.
Here is a more current picture of the tank. I still want to have another small rock pile on the left side of the tank but the rock store only had much larger pieces of the rock I am using. So far the tank has a breeding group of Christmas Fulus, they spawned the second day they were in the tank, 7 Speckleback leptosomas, 7 orange leleupi, a breeding group of Ophthalmotialpa Heterodonta and a single electric blue jack dempsy. No real monster fish but when I bought the tank I was going to put in my Cobra Snakeheads, I ended up giving them to a friend.

You can always spot the work where somebody understands wood and it's properties...
The first boat I ever commercial fished in Ak was a 1912 Sitka Fir hulled Seiner...The keel was 50' x 1' x 2' originally milled in 1911. It was a hard chined, tall forefooted hull that rolled rail to rail just leaving the dock...
I seen some pretty nasty weather in that boat and I thought she would blow apart. Just flexed and creeked and got us home to tell the story trip after trip...Wood is cool!
