The Miracle Tank

[Scratch08]

I graduated in 1972. You hadn't started school yet. Ha.

I said I quit going 30 years ago. I didn't go that much before that either. I vaguely remember the name of that movie, but I didn't see it. Most of my favorite actors died long ago. I don't care much for Hollywood these days.

Lol...not to make you feel too old...I was born in 72. My mom and dad graduated high school 2 weeks after I was born...just think...you could be my dad ;Hilarious ;Hilarious ;Hilarious

Andrew's clowns spawn all the time. I guess I thought about what she's missing out on.

Biting tongue. Must refrain from comment, LOL!

Here’s the aquarium in the back yard. Lights just kicked on. Should see some big tarpon and snook and 20 or so snappers and grunts etc will show up in the next few hours

@Fin That's neat how you set up the check valve. What's holding it in place? Do you have one for each return pump?

 

[dieselkeeper]

I see you do have one for each pump.

Suddenly I feel very low... but not as low as Tampa!

I’m so excited! I’m not down here alone!:cool:

Almost forgot, I’ve really wanted a Blue Spotted Jawfish, but didn’t want to spend the money, especially after my Whitetail. My LFS has 5 and he’s going to trade one for a frag of my wwc aoi ;Smug;Smuggrin;Happy

That’s awesome :)
I so wish I had a good LFS. Only local option is Petco, then it’s an 80 mile drive.

That stinks. Mine is amazing! Eddie has quarantined fish for me, met me at the corner Chick-fil-A to give me something I need after hours, comes to the house to check on the tank if we’re out of town..I don’t think there’s anything I’ve needed that he hasn’t helped with.

Another easier option is to run a T on the outer part of the return bulkhead and off of that T you reduce to a 1/4" threaded fitting. Then run a 1/4" RODI line off of that back to your overflow, you can place a valve on the line and tune the flow to just barely a trickle. Ran it for two years, never failed, never cleaned. I'll be setting up the same thing on my new tank.

He meets you on the corner for something you need after hours :eek::eek:. He sounds like your ————- ( fill in the blank);)
