Love this angle!! Beautiful.
 
I didn't realize I hadn't said it here (I'm on so many threads...). My wife is having surgery on Monday. There are 3 fractures - 1 on the fibula, 2 on the tibia. She's getting a plate and screws on the Fibula fracture, a plate and screws on one of the Tibia fractures, and pins on the second Tibia fracture. She has to stay off her foot for 2-6 weeks. She'll get a walking boot at that 2-6 week mark and can't drive until a minimum of a week after that. At 6-9 weeks she'll start PT.

Sorry to heat that Tim. She'll be better than ever after all this though. The boot is one of the worst parts in my opinion. Keep her cheerful by cooking for her and buying new corals for yourself.

No room for corals and my daughter is in culinary school. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Chamber 1 and 2 are connected from the bottom, chamber 1 have 2 holes for filter socks I think but to be sure, tomorrow when I clean it I will add water little by little to see how it goes, thanks Tim
