I wasn't far behind you, had my first dip of snuff when I was 15.

So the co2 regulator as been reacquired, it went from me to my dad and now back to me. Had to order a new diffuser and co2 counter, but I took advantage and got a very nice stainless steel diffuser and a new glass co2 checker.

I am going to carry custom painted CO2 cylinders in the store. I happen to know a guy who works in the cylinder industry.

Well isn't that just handy lol. I may be talking to you later about that.

It's kind of funny actually. Everywhere I have worked, something happens related/useful for aquariums. Imagine that.

LOL!

Kind of like how all our family trips get planed around aquarium stores and how they can be visited before we leave. Or how most of my friends seem to be from the aquarium hobby.

I am loving it's thread already and there is no tank pictures yet! I want to get going on mine but the floor in the house is first and HVAC for my office. And I might have to buy another CNC machine at work. Whats a guy to do when you let all the work stuff get in the way?

I understand, me shopping this morning made me be very unproductive.

Sweet....uh does anyone still say that? I am so 70's.

Yes, yes some of us do.

I say it all the time. I thought the 70's were more "fly".

I hope the new CNC is an "in addition to" and not a "replacement" machine. Are you entertaining the idea of firing up the acrylic aquarium business again? Now that would be sweet!

 

[mch1984]

I agree, I think you would have a long line of customers already.

So the day after I order my brand new shiny tank, a guy locally posted a waterbox 20 gallon AIO tank for $75. Now I would never cancel on fiji just to buy it, not after he treated me so good. But it still makes you mumble some non appropriate words under you breath.

For 75 clams pick it up! You can make it brackish and keep some brackish puffers in it.

Well apparently I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a great deal. It’s pending pick up now, but it’s they don’t then I may. My wife would love a brackish puffer tank.

New build for the brackish tank in the lounge? Nothing wrong with more tanks right.

Haha, I doubt I will get the tank it's pending pick up. However if I do, I feel a brackish might qualify for a regular build thread as it is technically saltwater. just saying lol

Hey you guys please give up the habits. My father was one of the early cancer researchers in lifestyle choices and how it effects the disease and without a doubt you are increasing your exposure to lung cancer and oral cancer. I have had to take care of oral cancer patients and it is not pretty. I only say this because I care about you both even though we have never met. Don't mean to preach or pry but I want what is best for you and your friends and family!

Hope I did not offend you at all
