Finished my second PETG moisture-controlled storage box! (just in time; was getting sick of switching rolls)

So I was messing around with the K7Mini light on the tank to get photos and my wife walks in and looks at me and the light... and the tank...

asked what I was doing... I said messing around with the light to get product photos. She says cool and walks out... doesn't mention the tank at all... That's twice she has had an opportunity... Is she like a shark? Circling in to check me out a few times before going in for the kill?

She's letting you know she knows you know she knows...

She is giving you the wait til you go out of town and come home to see what i have purchased time. Oh and your welcome for planting that seed in your head now. Just think you come home she is sitting on her new couch and has coffee on her new coffee table just thinking to herself " Dont say s*** and there wont be a problem" lol sorry not sorry

My husband tries to sneak in project trucks. Those are a bit more obvious though. But I guess since he doesn't say anything about new tanks popping up I guess I'll leave his stuff alone. Muahahaha.

Going away for 2 weeks on Thursday... have cat/fish sitter... prepping tank... took Carbon/Phosban/GFO reactors offline and cleaned them. (I needed to move them to install frag tank and the media needed changing so I just decommissioned them for now.
Cleaned the refugium a little. Cleaned the exile tank (took everything out and scrubbed all the frags and egg crate. vacuumed the sand. It looks like a different tank...
Tomorrow I'll tackle the DT so algae doesn't overrun everything while I'm gone...

@Projects with Sam aren't you in the Chicago area? Is that O'Hare or Midway. I've been through O'Hare a few times and the the smaller Midway a couple. I much prefer a smaller airport.
Midway. both the chicago airports are close; Midway seems easier to fly from… or it could be Southwest…

Woke up today and checked the Wyze camera…. To my dismay heard the alarm going off… checked fusion and found my temperature was around 74 and dropping.
quickly called my cat/fish sitter who was able to get over to my house and plug in a backup heater. Temp is climbing now so everything seems to be on the up and up.
