The Miracle Tank

[brett_schn]

kinda have to smack em to get sand dust out of wet,then again dry before reusing

Yeah Im letting it soak in the sink for now. Will take it out during my next break

I’m loving the online school. My tanks right next to my desk so I get to enjoy it all day!

It was clogged after about 8 hours after I sprayed it out and let dry

Wow. Try this.

Take an old salt bucket or anything like that, fill halfway with water. Put the sock in it and ring it out a few times in the water. Do that right side and inside out a few time. Let water sit a few minutes and see if you have sand at the bottom of the bucket. If the sock was full of sand dust, that is a pain to get out.

If it is then you will need to wash the sock again, and you can beat the sock on a sidewalk or driveway while washing it. Ringing it out both inside and right side out during this process.

Can y'all send us some of your rain? Our world is on fire out here. One small town near us only had two buildings survive the fire. The church and one house the rest is all gone. Never remember the smoke this bad...we are trying to stay indoors as much as possible.

I would be happy to if I could. I am so tired of mowing 2 acres 3 times a week and bush hogging 17 acres every 10 days. I do have enough hay to last 5 winters now though.

Socks and the new filter mats concern me, short term issues fine, I worry about how much micro fauna they remove that are good guys!

Same. I’m probably going to just use them till I get a skimmer and a new sump because the filter sock is what quiets my sump

Yes yes we are. Its not as bad as eating a hissing roach. Surprisingly they are a bit crunchy and taste like teriyaki.

Yes. Rats with a cuter outfit.

Rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, and possums (if trapped and fed corn for a few days to flush them out) are a staple in my house. You then have the deer we eat and the fish we catch. If it moves in Tennessee, it is likely to be food lol.

 

[Katrina71]

Not my usual, but I have eaten it. If a hunter brings you breakfast here, it is considered a gesture of friendship. Rude not to eat.
