Red_Beard's 75 Tank Build

[jonelder68]

For reals. Just tested and am sitting at 7.0 today. I think I'll bump up another 50ml kalk (450/day) to see how things level out. Pretty cool to see real effects on uptake rates with the increased pH. I tested with my hanna ph tester, it read 8.8, which i highly doubt to be accurate, need to order a titration kit for back up. And some calibration sachets.

Other stuff i tested:
Cal 400ppm
Po4 .25ppm
No3 8ppm

all these good tanks have higher than normal PO4 numbers….

How much snow did you guys get? We got 3 inches! That is more than we did all winter

We got about the same! It was enough I couldn't just warm the car up this morning and go. I had to actually clean it off! Traffic was terrible here too! No one remembers how to drive in the stuff either.

I’ll trade ya! We had hail and tornados this evening. Wasn’t prepped! Had to squeeze the car in

Side note…need bigger garage or better a shop

Too bad your on the otherside of the country. I'll be hopefully starting an electrical side gig soon. Could have had all but one of our bases covered lol

Shoot! I have a good friend with a plumbing company, between us 3 we would have it covered! Man, when i was younger i wanted to get my journeyman electrician license. Only made it as far as apprentice before life had other plans

Yikes! I follow several storm chasers on the socials and it has already been a crazy severe weather season and it is just getting started!

For real, my neighbor's boy is working out in ohio and had to shelter in place tornado warning the other day!

I am getting really close to being able to retire (11 months...but whose counting) and my wife asked me what I wanted to do. I told her, "become a storm chaser!" (Severe weather has always intrigued me!) Her response was basically, "why can't you pick something that doesn't constantly put your life in danger!"

Agree! My old high school shop teacher is a pretty legit storm chaser now days. His rig is legit!

Guilty as charged!

It will be way under powered for unlimited class which I’m sure they’ll class me in for now. Will have to find a way to squeeze the twin turbos later

Ya maybe I should stick to cars vs reefing. At least I can succeed at it

Could cut the hood and fit a blower on it!

Not enough horsepower . To compete probably 1200-1400hp. Not to mention heat soak. Turbos are hot but find easier to cool underhood temps.
