What does FTW mean? ?

[Chozon1]

It's a shortened version of "For the Win".

[Eagle Eyes]

And QFT?

[Chozon1]

Perhaps something Greek; I vaguely remember someone telling me one time it was based on Latin or Greek. But nowadays it just means "Quoted for truth".

[Eagle Eyes]

Ok.

Favorite tv series?

[Chozon1]

Psych. I like Monk a lot too, as well as NCIS, but Psych is my favorite.

[Eagle Eyes]

Favorite book you read so far?

[Chozon1]

That's pretty hard. It would either be Lord Of The Rings, or Firebird.

BLT without bacon?!

Missed this. I found it.

BLT without bacon is a salad sandwich and is a disgrace to the already faltering sandwich world.

We were eating at a restaurant the other day and my brother ordered a BLT. It did come with some bacon - two strips of it - but no burger. So it was just lettuce and soggy bacon.

?

So Chozon... I've been toying with setting up a fish aquarium (not for a while, as atm... funds are tight and I've got snake stuff to take care of). Any pointers as to what's a good starting point? I'm not talking a goldfish in a bowl... I'd probably set up a 30L complete with all dem fancy pumps and stuffz.

I've got no clue where to start though, as I have no experience with anything but dogs and reptiles. XD

I think I mentioned Skindred a while ago to you, but not really as a recommendation.

Well, after listening to them more extensively and completely loving it, I am ready to recommend it.

Also take note of the fact that most, if not all, of their songs are clean.

Do you like it?

BLT's aren't normally burger, just bacon/lettuce/tomato. But that sounds terrible.

I'd sue the restaurant. That's disgraceful. And I'm not even kidding.

30L As in liters or long?

30 liters is a a tad small, if that's what you meant. 10 gallons is pretty much as small as you want to go. If you meant thirty gallons (or twenty) that's plenty of space. ^_^

Either way, fishkeeping is fairly easy if you start it up properly. First you'll need to decide what fish you want, and read up on the nitrogen cycle. Fishlore is a great place to read on that junk.

After that, it's waiting/shopping time.

Like a lot. XD Reggae metal with the words having a point.

Yeah, I meant a 30 gallon long. Should have been more clear. XD

From what I've read it looks pretty simple, at least when compared to herps... but really... I haz no clue.

Thanks for the link though, I'm going through that site now. ^_^

Can you give me a rough idea of what it'd cost to set up a 20 or 30 gallon aquarium without the fish? (as they vary in price depending on where you go)

[Chozon1]

XD Dude, you'll be able to fit some shweet fish into a tank that size.

For setting up the tank, you'll need a heater, a filter, gravel, plants (live or fake is up to you, fake is a bit cheaper), water testing kit (this isn't necessary, per se, but you'll want one to make your life easier) and some type of water preparation stuff.

All that will probably be around $100. I'm not sure how much a hood and tank will cost. It varies where you live. I'd shop around on Craigslist to see what you can find there. Those two things are going to be the most expensive, though.

Most people say to expect around $10 a gallon, but I think you can find a hood and tank for less than that...

Also, that's from Petco/Petsmart, and Wal-Mart. If you shopped around, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get it cheaper.

Schnap...I think I spent more on my fish tank than Jayne. O_O

[Nix]

Whoa, I believe it. XD

I've got a 30 gallon long right now just sitting in my closet, but I may end up putting a snake in it if I can make it to the expo tomorrow.

But off of Craigslist they're not too aspensive. ^_o

I've been wanting to do this for some time. Fish make excellent decorations, and are fun to watch.

Craigslist around here has complete setups for around $100 for a 40 gal. (with everything but the fish and water)

That... sounds like a good deal, and I think I can find smaller ones for less cash.

What kind of fish do you have in your tank? Any recommendations?

Also, is it a salt or freshwater tank? I'd do fresh. XD
