You want my opinion? Really?

Okay then... you should get yourself a 5 gallon can of gasoline, pour it on yourself then take a match... oh, wait, did you mean about the ATO?

Just shell out the two fiddy and get the Osmo 3. If you happen to have a problem with it, Tunze is second to none with problematic equipment.

No the gas and match is for all the money I am spending on this house!


Yeah, I am going to bite the bullet and hope this one lasts 7 years as well.

You do know what's going to happen, don't you? You're going to finally get your house all remodeled just the way you love it. Then Sherrie will one day, while you're brushing your teeth, say, "So I was thinking. Maybe we should sell this house and get something else. Maybe something a little bigger."

Or worse, I finally finish the house, retire and 37 minutes and 42 seconds later kick the bucket.

Premium Aquatics had the osmolator for $229. Will be here in 2-3 days. :)

Hoping to net the sailfin and put it in the sump today. I am giving to a buddy with a 300 gallon tank. I nursed it back to health and it looks fantastic but it's really not what I want and the last one I had got to be almost a foot in diameter. I don't want a fish that big in a tank this size.

You, you just shut your mouth. No way you can die before me. There'd be no one to take your place. (Okay, that's about enough of that as I think I am starting to feel warm inside or something.)

Excellent plan! Good luck with netting him.

Did I hear towels?
We had a get together at glass cages in 24. I’ll take a pic of the towel.

Normally I use hospital blue towels. I can get them by the hundred for $25. But it’s nice having a decent looking one you can leave on a hook on the stand. Lol

They are just cotton flour sack towels that i heat press my designs on to. I even have an Etsy but I haven't updated in a while.
I was thinking they were flour sack towels. I like them for cleanup stuff. Thanks.

ok gang, the laundry room is in wrap up mode. Just some painting left to do.

Last night I did some much needed tank maintenance.

While I was preoccupied with the remodel, a bunch of stuff showed up to finish the apex install as well as the new ATO.

I also finalized the plan for the redo on the fuge to quiet it down.

I plan on getting a bunch of that done as well as a tune up and oil change on the truck this weekend.

Not much change with the aptasia but at least they are no worse.

New top off installed. For some reason, it's louder than the old model. oh well. it's not enough to really bother me. Just an observation.

The washing machine failed in a spectacular fashion and had to clean up that mess. Yes, in the just completed laundry room! Ended up going and buying a new machine.

I got some stuff straightened up in the office and did a bunch of work on the pond. I have a helper coming to assist with the dirt berm around it and placing rocks. Which means, hopefully, by Sunday, the pond will completely moved and I can fill in the hole under the front room windows and start on the rock garden.

I got the Apex stuff all mounted and the app installed on an extra ipad. Due to the washing machine I didn't have time to test it out but that will come soon.

I also ordered more cleanup crew. Blue legs x24, turbos x100, lysmata x6.

Sucks when washing machines crap out like that. Did you get a front or top loader for the new one?

An assistant you say? Sucks getting older but it's also nice to be spoiled.
