  1. Howdy Nerms this is the first entry of I hope many to the Haverhill aquarium society. I have kicked around this idea for years and well dang it is time to dive in. I ask myself why get involved yet another life sucking endeavor for children (25 years of giving it away talking here) well it is about connecting to kids. Yuck I said. I usually don’t share my Nerm status because less I be judged but for the most part kids are interested in anything passed the goldfish even though they eat green floating plants. So here is the build so far all because I found an excellent marketplace sale and then when he heard it was for a school he threw is tons more. See ya soon! Tedrock
  2. Please take a moment and give me some direction in identifying this pleco. I am having a problem figuring the kind. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

  4. Thank you all for the great ideas! I choose Haverhill Aquarium Society soon to be HAS. I’ll let the kids come up with the funky nicknames for our group. Thank you all again! Tedrock
  5. Howdy Nerms, I need your assistance with a possible whitty or catchy "Aquatics" High school club title name that doesn't use the word Aquatics. I got admin approval for a club but the only restriction I have been given. . . I can't use the word "Aquatics" in the club title. Rational is that it might too confusing with swimming ... I guess. So please sling some possible club names at me. Many thanks, Tedrock
  6. Howdy Nerms, This is a total fish nerd question (but an important one as I am about ready to buy another set of Matten filters). I am trying to decide on pours per inch cost analysis. I don’t know if it is really a 10 per inch but it is a ratio of increments based on inch. So with that being said, is there advantages for 10 over 30 ppi in water flow verse filtering bacteria power/area? It appears that a higher ppi rating would become clogged sooner. Can others offer insights into this area or am I just over thinking it? Many thanks, Tedrock
  7. So … I have never had Discus before and my wife really wants them. I know a little they like it Hot. I have a tank that has cycled and is 55 gallons. I know filtration is important and water changes. No plants yet. So what are some pointers. What have you learned? Many thanks Tedrock
  8. That is some great insight. I look so much more than I buy.
  9. Howdy Nerms, What are things you look for when you are buying fish off of aquabid. (Specifically guppies) just looking for pointers. Many thanks, Tedrock
  10. You know you are a Nerm when you doing a water change and you step away just for a second. Then you hear splashing water hitting the floor because your water change bucket has overflowed. (It is in the basement on concrete but still a mess) You run over and grab the hose but still spill more water grabbing it. You know your a Nerm When one end of your suction hose falls lower than the bucket/garbage can (what I use). The other end of the hose is still in the bucket starting a suction and draining onto the floor. You know you are a Nerm when your wife yells down stairs to the basement “what died down there!” You don’t smell anything. Then you find the brine shrimp blender that hatched three days ago.
  11. Correct a combination of Norm and Nerd = Nerm. Normal by day, Nerd by night. I am still waiting for Nerm merch!
  12. Hi Jimmy, What type of work will you be doing with Fritz? Will the be any contract work with the coop? I am just learning about this now so what ever the circumstances I wish you the best. Tedrock
