    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Does anyone know if the fumes that are produced by these panels are toxic in anyway? I have already done the "fume out" process that was suggest in the manual but when ever I first fire them up, they smell like paint fumes or something.

Thanks,

Sorry Trynt, hit post before finishing. Is that the process you used? I used that method for an hour, then ran at 90 degrees inside cage for 24 hours (on thermostat) before using with animal.
 
No worries, brother. Yes, that's what I am referencing to. It says to only run them for a few hours on high, though, which was done. Matter of fact, they were going for about 6 hours and I have one in particular that still just reeks. I'll called lllreptile, where I purchased them from, and they said they were not toxic but I also like having second opinions.
