Got the rest of the sand. Thanks to @JDowns I only had to pick up a couple 10 pound bags.

Got another bucket of salt at petco. They give internet prices in the store.

The rim is silicone in place!

I took a video of the flow, I need to post it to youtube so I can link here.
Just catching up.. nice job on the new rim! I was at a trade show recently and a guy was demonstrating that stuff for making quick repairs on all kinds of things.

I can see a lot of uses for it. Tim and I were talking about it today. BTW, we went to a pathetic LFS today. I met a buddy there to get some chaeto from him. My buddy and I are going to offer to buy the place. I will run it and Tim will work there. It's that bad folks. I actually want to rescue the entire store.

We decided if he wouldn't sell, we are going to start stock piling equipment and open one ourselves.

That is fantastic!

What city will the store be in?

Well, if we buy his we don't know if we will leave it where it is or move it. (Technically, it will be my buddy buying it and me doing the complete restart on everything and then running it)

If we do our own, Huntsville more than likely.

I want to do Priceville or Decatur but I doubt that happens.
