Why the hell are you stressing about the nem, pump off, not pumps, leave the return or powerhead off (powerhead, pop it on feed mode if you can do that) and cradle it gently, foot down where you want it and let it settle, keep your hand in the way of the flow, watch closely, it fascinates me watching the foot getting a grip.
In a a crevice or crease or near a small hole, give it a way to feel easily secure. :)
Oh and as above, out of the water for as short a time as possible, just pop the little sucker in! ;)

Forgot to quote whoever it was, because I can't post pics I stopped taking pics a few days ago.
I messed my settings up so bad I can't even see the preview of pics properly I have on here!
A random pic from last week. ;)

That isn't my concern. Lighting is the issue. He's been under good lighting. My lighting sucks in comparison.

That's awesome! Sometimes I almost wish I had Facebook to enter these things.

Are you referring to the giveaway I posted? If so, you do not need a Facebook account to enter. If not, I am now totally confused!

Ill beat @crusso1993 to the punch!



Nailed it!

I had installed a custom stereo system in my '73 Chevelle SS and used to rattle the neighborhood with this song, amongst quite a number of other songs too.

If you're not aware of it, the song has a very cool back-story too!

Thats really cool. A total mistake almost to capture an iconic riff!

Wish I did. I sold it in 1989 and picked up a 1970 1/2 Z28. I always owned 2 cars. My summer car and my winter car. Like @Fin , I've owned quite a number of collectible cars through the years. Unlike Fin, I no longer have any of the photos of them as they were destroyed in the divorce.
