Oof, I grew up watching my grandfather spend literally thousands of dollars a year playing the lottery. He'd win a bit here and there but no way he ever made that money back. I'm good.

If I win the big prize ill give you 20k to make your dream aquarium dw

I'd probably crap my pants if someone I'd even talked to for a second won the big prize. I've never known anyone who actually won a big lottery. My grandpa won lime 10k one time when I was like 11 or something. My aunt was a bingo winning chicken. I know she won like 10k in a month playing bingo. Only thing I ever won was a buck knife when I was like 15 and my dad had to claim it for me.

So I finished printing my Turf Algae Scrubber BUT my measurements were off slightly. I had considered printing a new body of the scrubber but then realized all I really needed to print was an extension for the front. Well, I did a quick and dirty design last night and printed it:

It's functional except the clips in the bottom corners happen to be right where the bracket slides for the front panel are... I'm thinking if I raise them around an inch, maybe 2, that'll make them clear the bracket slides and put the above the acrylic of the sump which should be perfect. Redesign and reprint tonight! Then install the scrubber after that.

I'm very much considering a kamoer for my new tank. Now how much the wife unit allows me to spend will determine whether I get the 120.00 system or the 500.00 system. The more expensive system would allow me to put everything in the basement (good for her) the less expensive system means a holding container in the living room (bad for her) so really her fate is in her hands.

Kids are basically free, legal slave labor... Pretend like it's fun and encourage them to do it for you?

I can't even get the one that's left to move out of the house or clean up after herself. Kids. Worst idea ever 0/10 do not recommend. I'd rather spend 500 bucks on a awc. Got it done. 25% ordered 800g of afr powder, some bottles to make it in and some hanna hr nitrate reagents.

Sending the best vibes for your first day at the new gig!
Thanks! Headed out the door here in about 5-10 minutes. I figure if there's not too much traffic I'll only be about an hour and a half early.... That "should" give me time to meet some of the crew before I have to go through NEO.
