Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

So it's official, the 24th will be the last day at the only job I've had as an adult. I have been here for 17 years and I will be leaving soon, good move but tough pill to swallow.

I felt that way when I stopped being a cop.

Anyone ever felt like choking a turd out of an 11 year old?

[Katrina71]

? what?

Don't you have a little brother that loves your tank and got you some cool stuff?

 

[Katrina71]

I have an older brother. He busted my nose a few times and knocked out some teeth. Lol. True. We also had great fun together before he decided he'd rather get high or drunk.

The muddiest I have ever been...red clay mud. Mom made us strip in the back yard and hosed us off. She threw our clothes away. 40 years later it is still one of my fondest memories.

Lol! As a former officer you could just threaten the 11 yo that you could pull off the perfect crime!

So i have been bummed the last couple of days because my new build developed a slow leak from the outer box of my diy overflow. I added a THIRD gasket to the through-tank bulkhead (one inside the tank, one between the tank and the external box, and one inside the box) and I am happy to say it is fixed! It leaked about a gallon onto our off white carpets. Next time i am just going to order an overflow. The $100 savings is not worth the headache of a leak. Lesson learned!

 

[12gallonsofhex]

Here it is, no leaks! It is cycling now. I have one wave pump and the dt light still on my hex tank, but for the most part its ready to go. I kept the rock work simple as i went overboard in the hex tank.

 

[sfin52]

WIfe angry.

Good news. A sale ive been working on for a couple of months was approved with our national acct team and customer corporate rep. My pay for the the first wed of June will about 468 more than usual.

Now if only the 23000 sale will come through. I told my boss besides pay I want a new skimmer. Lol

Its a good tging our employers dont offer to pay in vouchers to our LFS's. We would all be working for the company store.
