	My brother is in New York
Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003	My bro is in NY and I was wondering what sorta aquarium stuff I could get him to buy (keeping in mind that power outlets are differant here and customs are heavy here). The only thing I can come up with is a python gravel vac. Can he get one of these at walmart?

And a T-shirt for you that says "my brother went to new york and all I got was this bag of carbon" . ^_^ [hr width='40%']"There’s an emptiness inside her. And she’d do anything to fill it in. And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now. It's more like cold blue ice in her heart. She feels like kicking out all the windows. And setting fire to this life."

I don't know what kind of equipent you have over there, but I don't think it would be much different than ours. Maybe you can ask him to bring back some local wildlife for your fish tank. How would you like a nice tank full of radioactive minnows? Or maybe a 3-headed salmon?

Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003	nice suggestions! I think I'll ask him to get me a surface skimmer. They appear to be half price compared to our pricing. How much does TPH cost over there? They are $16 per issue here. What a rip off. I saw the other day that TPH has a special offer of $19 for a years subscription! The mark up on that mag is rediculous.
