Your corals are beautiful BTW. You have very good taste. Lots of nice yellows!

@kevgib67 My friend, things are piling up for you. I'm glad your son was there to really save the tank. I hope you find a way to treat yourself to a replacement or two.
Maybe a little less flow for the plate right now, until it recovers?

I wish I would've known about slap a coworker day before I got off. I could've picked a couple to absolutely slap the........... fire out of

Kevin, too bad you don't live in Tucson. I know you are a collector of fine automobiles and thought you might have room for this one next to your Yugo. It's being given away at Dogtoberfest in Tucson.

I wish I could win this !
 
You might want to check your charger. It sounds like your laptop is capable of drawing more watts than the charger can supply. Check the specs for the charger for your system and on the actual charger. If you bought it used, it may not be the original charger or it may be going bad. If you let it sit, turned off but plugged in does your battery charge eventually increase to at least 80%?
Charges normally when not under a heavy load. This is the alert in system settings

It's supposed to be fully restored. The Gremlins actually ran pretty well so it should.
I think there cool looking !
Just change it to a metallic dark blue

Youtube and replace the battery. Did it to my s23 recently. Even if it says can't be repaired it can.

Yikes! Sorry for your losses Kevin. Those were pretty corals. Good luck treating the tank.

Good color choice. Especially the metallic choice. My last four cars were/are Burgundy Metallic, Ocean Blue Metallic, Black Metallic, and Seal Grey Metallic. A nice dark blue metallic is hard to beat for a car color.
