Someone was asking about bags to use with a bag sealer
And since I obviously can’t remember who I’ll just put this here

...:thinking-face::)

We're a diesel family, 4.89/gal here. Regular gas is less, but I don't know by how much, only use it for the 4 seater, and we only get a couple gallons at a time.

Hubs fills his truck every day, sometimes multiple times if he's hauling, usually $100 each time. If it's really empty, sometimes $120-150. My truck is a short box so it's got a much smaller tank and only takes about $75 to fill from about a 1/4 tank.

I remember a time when diesel - you know the more unrefined version of gas - was cheaper than cheaper than premium gas……..


and it wasn’t till I was in my early 20s that I learned that not all states had the same octane requirements on gas

So the red states pay more for lower level octane gas…..I feel cheated lol

School me on t5s!!

Not really looking to change my lights, but I did come across a couple fixtures (w/bulbs).


On FB
1- 48” Tek t-5 HO 6 bulb unit with 6 working bulbs, I can get the types of bulbs but appears to be a good mix. $80

1-36” Tek t-5 HO 6 bulb unit with 6 working t-5 bulbs. If you want to know the types of color spectrum let me know. $70


My tank is a 4', but set up as peninsula so I've lost 6" on the left side. Thinking the 36" would be the way to go. BUT I know nothing on t5s.

-How long to bulbs last?
-How much heat are we talking here? It's in a colder room though so there's that.
- What about strength through glass lids? I like glass lids for now since my kid is a monster.
-scheduling? Just smart timers?

About a year on average.
heat between the bulbs and glass tops will shorten that ,especially in a canopy ?
reg timers/ smart timers either.

stick with the noops... ;) :)
