I still stand by my statement, that ravens are creepy @$$ birds..haha. Really nice pictures thought, and awesome story, I couldn't imagine having sight at birth, then losing it later in life, I wouldn't be able to stand not seeing the beauty in life!

Awe, greg I am literally jealous of everywhere you have been...Some of those buildings look just amazing!! I'm definately thinking of a nice vacation, far away from alberta!!! Thanks alot!

I'm in awe, I WISH I had those peoples houses...just beautiful country out there, holy thanks for the pictures.

Im gonna have to take my camera along next time I go down to Comox Valley! There is this one trail me and my gf took mountain biking, and it actually took my breath away, i WISH I would just move there already!!

I've seen that mining truck like 3 times in my life, and each time it's size blows me away! It's definately a fun scenic trip from calgary to cranbrook thats for sure!

Good pics, thanks for sharing!

Coo pictures, damn near fell off my chair when you said that pond was 20 feet deep! Want to see some rattlers? Drive through a single field in lethbridge, you'll find plenty! Haha. Thanks for sharing bud!

If the kid was swimming around the amazon then it is possible... There was a show on discovery doing a study on whether or not these fish actually swim into men or womens,, uhum areas. They determined that the fish are attracted to the ammonia or something in humans urine, so if you pee in the water, the fish will swim into your sensitive area, and it will actually slip in there, then once inside, will eject a bunch of little spikes out of its body to extract blood...It was a really interesting study.

Great job on the stand! The tank came along great.

Skunks are getting pretty ridiculous around provost here, my aunt down the street has a family under her wood shed. An apparently, the wildlife guy that came to trap them said he just caught a mama and 6 babies burrowed into a grave in the cemetary...Its so weird.

Impressive pics as usual patrick!

Thanks for that haha. Now when I'm sitting outside, and I feel a breeze on my leg hair I'm going to freak out and think it's one of them behemoths! Great picture quality again.

Awesome pictures! Could definately sell them as backrounds. The humming bird shots are amazing...as always!

Amazing pictures as always bud, keep this coming, I could look at your pictures all day.

I would definately look into it, might as well try right? Especially with a tank 100 gallon+..Water damage is a nasty little parasite to deal with.

I've seen that article before its really cool. I don't think I would be able to do 10,000 gallon water changes every week.

Very cool, keep us updated!

The article mentioned something about one specimen was observed with a batch of eggs. Very neat article, and humans thought they found and destroyed every creature...Bam we got another one.....

Awesome looking creatures indeed! I don't think I've ever seen a picture like the first one!! Thanks.

I never did like catfish :|

Haha I think he knew they were freshwater, thanks quotation marks haha...My parents have done the same, good pictures though, would be a good place to visit.

Alot of people use these things, and egg crate, but in actuallity, the tank glass can hold more than you think. I recall reading an article about different 'weight distributing' methods on another forum, and the conclusion they drew up was that egg crate and styrofoam don't really distribute the weight evenly, it doesn't really do anything at all. They also said the biggest factor is to have an even standing tank, so the glass cannot flex.

Awesome stuff thanks. It looks like I will be using a sort of concrete for it, I will post progress as it happens.

Well, I've been getting a steady pay cheque for a while so I decided I would try and do something I have wanted to do for a while now....Build a custom backround for my 15 gallon.

I wanted to get the project started tomorrow, since I don't have to work so far.. My plans were to purchase or find a large rubbermaid container big enough to temporarily house the current fish in the tank, pour the cycled water, along with the fish and filter into the container and go from there, this wont happen till i have my plan set of course haha.

But, before I get started and too far ahead of myself here, I think I need a little refreshment on what is needed for this project. I plan on using styrophome, to build and shape the backround, but was unsure about what to do to make the styrophome stay stuck to the tank. Also, what paint should I use for the backround? I might need a little more help with the project which is why I created the new thread, I will also look at any other threads already made to help me along the way, so any help is greatly appreciated..

Thanks!,

Ryan

I want babies haha, awesome pictures buddy!

Irrelevant to the topic, but as i read the above post, I imagined myself without nipples, and Im not gonna lie, it was weird haha.

Every single tank is amazing, show room tanks! Awesome. Thanks for sharing

I think it's safe to say I am VERY jealous haha. Looks, and sounded like loads of fun, thanks for the story like and pics!
