Third time better be the charm

[Nate Chalk]

Good morning. I love all my hobbies but they are so dang expensive. Oh well gotta work for something. Bought the girls 4 more boxes and frames to match. Picking those up next Saturday. That blew my coral budget for June.
Car Show was a blast. Probably about 350 cars.
My father in laws:

My man's

Remember the furnace I had to replace? I am good friends with the owner of the business, this is his, and if he ever sells it maybe mine one day. I have a thing for yellow.

Some other general shots. Show took up the entire downtown of a small town near us called Willoghby ohio. My man's grandfather was the city's building inspector for years. It's also where the twilight zones episode "last stop willoughby" was named after.

Princess will be coming out for the next show.

Almost went to good guys here in Columbus, we were busy busy

Didn't get a chance to go either. Haven't had the mustang out in a couple years. Thinking of selling it but I don't think I am ready to let her go.

I have 4 of the individual Kasa plugs. I don't necessarily need a power strip that's controllable.

 

[Mschmidt]

Yep! I just need a new power strip. I actually have everything plugged in except the heater controller. 3 lights not Daisy chained, heater controller, skimmer, 2 wave makers, and the return pump. I also have the 5 gallon plugged in this strip.

Busy strip.

Next decision for Frag Tank. Spray bar like @Lost in the Sauce has for the return on his or standard loc-line. And what is the difference between black and the Blue and orange loc line.

I think my vote is obvious right?

I like @Vivid Creative Aquatics RFG (random flow generators). If you want my opinion or my vote, that's it.

As for the different color I don't think there's a difference. I use black because it disappears more in the tank, orange is going to "pop" kinda cool under blues and blue may disappear somewhat under blues.

I think I'm going to restate my "vote"...

My frag tank is drilled and started running on 2 RFG'S that @tbrown3589 linked above. This was the plan from the beginning.

RFG'S require a certain amount of flow through them to actually work. In my case it was 300 GPH each. That means I need it to be running 600 GPH through a 30 gallon tank.

Being that I primarily house mushrooms and softies down there, that kind of turnover created too much flow. No matter what I did, mushrooms were not laying out well.

The spray bar was a great solution for me, given my tank size and desired livestock following @najer inspiration.

Now that I am keeping some acro in there, I'll be adding a small hygger pulse pump set to only come on at night and blast the acro while they are actively feeding, and the softies are shrunken and more protected.

Just found out I have a huge (basket ball +) size hornets nest 20ft directly above the bees. This is not good and I have no idea how I missed it for this long. Have to call someone to get them out of the tree asap or I run the risk of losing the hives. If it's not one thing it's another. Good grief Charlie Brown.

Flame thrower?

If you have one that will shoot 20ft up I am GAME! Not sure the neighbors would be on board but hey never know.

I was actually thinking @tbrown3589 may be willing to come over and do his best Katnis impression.

When we were in Missouri we woke up with a mid dobber(dauber?) in bed with us. Apparently they don't sting so... Still, don't want them in my bed!

That's a hard no from me. I am not fond of insects. Esp creepy crawlies. Bees are the only exception.
