Great Danes...never met one that likes it. They get car sick. I think they are so tall in the seat that they lose the horizon.
The two I knew loved car rides. The vehicles they rode in where large SUV. That does make sense since they are so large

No, but they fit the Nerf guns. I think my husband found, like, 500 for $10 or $15. I could be wrong on the price, but I remember that it was a really reasonable price
It could be like when the wife sees new corals in the tank and asks how much that cost - of course the standard reply is $10 - $15. :p

I got an adrenaline wake-up this morning when I put Cassie outside before sunrise. Somebody's Rottweiller charged us in the driveway. Talk about better than coffee for waking your butt up! Luckily a firm foot stomp and yell scared it off. :eek:

My pups LOVE the truck, every time I open the garage door they run in and sit next to the door waiting for me to let them in thinking they are going with me. Zoey is my usual co-pilot and a lazy one at that. Winter is a back seat driver (Shes too big for the front seat) and foreign dog in a car near by alarm (A Feature everyone needs btw).

So this weekend, being nothing else to do, I think I may setup the 180 to replace the 90/45 combo. It will have a 125 for a sump and be a display sump when said and done. For now, I will just use my 40 breeder for the sump if I actually get off my butt and do it. Wife has been complaining about the rock I have in the office in 3 tanks lol. Only one way to get rid of the rock hahaha.

Anyone else looked at the price of wet bandsaws, I bought this a couple of years ago and it turned out that diamond bandsaw blades in this size cost more than the saw so it stayed in the box.
I had a thought today, how hard can coral skeleton be?
Standard blade fizzed through a 4 inch monti plate in seconds just now, I will keep it clean after each use, worked great! :)

I need some ideas on the stand though. I have a metal stand for it, but it is only 30” tall. Not a good height for us tall people. The issue I have is the bracing across the front of the stand. I want to be able to see all of the 125 when done. Not sure what I should do to where there are only uprights at the corners.

Any thoughts?

Kindof sucks but I'd build my own stand out of plywood for it instead. Sounds like you'd be doing a ton of work to the current one to even bring it close to where you want it to be it might not be worth the cost/time...
