  • I’ve purchased a pair of Emporio Armani glasses through them, and a pack of their Kits brand daily contact lenses.

    The lenses are nothing special, but they were a decent price and worked just fine. I tend to have a difficult time removing them, but that just might be me.

    The glasses are designer brand so that doesn’t speak to their in house brand quality. But they had a good coupon going when I bought them so it ended up being a good price as well.

    Overall I would recommend the Kits for the prices, but it probably won’t be the highest quality stuff if you’re going for their own brand.

    I’ve tried a couple experiments with tiny aquariums in jars and bowls (0.5-1gal). The water parameters can be tricky to stabilize since the ecosystem is so small and any changes (like feeding food) can cause major swings. I would definitely advise plant heavy, and stick to small invertebrates like snails and shrimps and avoid fish.




  • I learned this the hard way with my 1974 MG B. I test drove it and looked it over from all angles and there didn’t seem to be any problematic rust. But lo and behold, digging into the floors a little bit they are pretty much rotten and now I’m doing a big restoration project. The lesson I learned the hard way, rust is 10x worse on the inside of the metal than it looks on the outside.








  • I do agree that the before was great, however it was very high maintenance with the dense planting. The Amazon Sword and a few of the other fast growing plants eventually overgrew the whole tank and it became too much work for me to keep up with. So I decided to cut back significantly and go for a simpler and easier to maintain aquascape.
