How nerdy are you?
This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

Geek!
I used to breed tropical freshwater + marine fish, from your run of the mill Guppies (not very hard of course) to Seahorses (fairly difficult, cultivating the brine shrimp is the harder part).
no where near as geeky as some of you lot I've read stories on so far though.

Nothing too special at the min...
Just the one tank at the moment (no room till we move)
3' x 18" x 15"
1x Eheim external
1x Fluval external
!x Shark Internal
in it we have:
Lot's of pairs of Malawi's, Varying sp's Auratus, Labidochromis etc..
all happily breeding away, you can see some young ones in the rocks if you look closely.
and
Synodontis (Ocellifer's x2 + Alberti x1)
Some Video...

I'll try and get some better shots later on if anyone's interested? (they have been thinned out though - Too much territorial anger going on!)

You should probably put the details of your equipment (the fish equipment, I mean) in your actual post, just to up the nerdy points.

Okey Doke...
Eheim 2217+ Classic Canister Filter
* Pump output 1000 L/h
Fluval 303
* 840 L/h
Shark ADV 600
* 600 L/h
There has to be so much filtration in Malawi tanks due to having to over stock them so the larger fish have plenty of small fish to bully - sound's mean but it does work!
