Hello,

Hmmmmm @Erica-Renee are you opening a local aquarium lol. We still need to help @Fin set is up so we can admire it :). Besides they are shipping it to me for free :) can you imagine how much it would be to ship that thing. I had to send some family members stuff and FedEx was really proud of their shipping skills :). If a 6.4 pound package is almost 30 dollars lol ground could you imagine a 500 pound plus tank. Not sure it will fit in your side door :)
My tank is more of an urban legend. Really doesn't exist. :) Can't wait to see you with a 425 gallon tank. Maybe you should get yourself a couple of life vests in the event you fall in.

Hello,

Lol oh good grief I know how to swim @Fin well as long as I have my mini mouse floaters on my arms. I found that I’d i put flippers on I could swim like ahh what’s his name ocean freak or flipper man some marvel guy. I could swim like the guy in the movie aliens vs monsters the missing link lol. Of course I need the kids version, but I am not sure of my current method.

I normally strap myself into a five point harness and hire some kid down the street to reel me in slow. But general since they weigh more than me, they usually drop me and drown me. Sooo maybe this time since the tank is the same depth but twice the size I should get scuba gear.

@Fin do you know how many urban legends are real so your tank is very real. (What are some things you need by the way).

@Katrina71 wait a princess life vest, lol I have never seen them in one, except aerial and she didn’t need one. Now Barbie on the other hand can barely walk across the street, so I’m sure she has like one for each day of the week, fashion over safety. To bad she still doesn’t know how to put one on:

I think you could get away with Disney snorkle gear. A pool ladder probably wouldn't hurt.

Wait do they make ladders for this, I was thinking a large large Lego mobile crane. Scuba gear is an idea but if I go with scuba gear I can make my own discovery tank of a long forgot isolated reef.

Lol sorry I’m trying not to snort my food out my nose from your pic @Fin. Aren’t those the stairs from the movie set on frozen.
Don't know anything about no Frozen movie. Those are above ground pool stairs.

While I used to go to the movies a long time ago, I am pretty much fed up with Hollywood these days. Most of my favorite actors are all dead. So any movie references to movies from the early 90s on will likely go right over my head. I am just an old curmudgeon anyway. :)

Hello,

I had a moment of sudden light bulb appeared yesterday. So sadly I have to work Xmas eve and Xmas day, but anyway I still get to help make food as long as I’m not asleep. My mum asked me to get a turkey blaster (Yes I knew as those little sucky things or others lol) I ended buy a pretty nice one (there is a moment to this comes together), it was a red kitchen aid one (well the squishy rubber thing) And I noticed my corals kept getting sand blasted all over.

Didn’t have my wet suite on so, I tried the turkey blaster and wow it’s amazing. Much faster also to just squirt some water and blast it off and or not drown myself. The only problem I have now is, kinda gotta find a new turkey blaster for dinner. Three places now lol wal mart, fred Meyer and Albertsons are out hmmmm.

Worse case I will throw it in the dish washer it will be grand. Naaaa I can’t ligr with out it now. For those who are counting there are only three days till Xmas :)

Hello;

Oh yeah lol this little thing is pretty neat and oh so much faster and I don’t make such a mess. :) so I’m curious (I will have to post pics of the tank here soon) do the turkey blasters make the turkey look that more delicious while it cooks?

It's a baster, not a blaster! :) Helps make the turkey golden brown and hopefully helps keep it from drying out. Sucks that you have to work on Christmas eve and Christmas day. That's why you make the big bucks though. :)

Hello,

Oh yes lol yeah I was given the embarrassing moment from my dad on that one also. He said yesterday, s turkey blaster I’m curious to see, did you load it a bunch of plastic explosives when it hits a certain temp it implodes and turkey is served. Nice idea but naw that wasn’t me lol. But yes the baster lol which made it worse was when I say baster I have to be careful because my mum and brother thought I said bastarxxxx. Yes it made my cheeks glow red lol.

Hello

So as promised I did some tank maintenance and promised to post pics. My iPhone camera isn’t very good with the lights but I tried to dim the lights. It was horrible pics with the blues on but this is about 13 months old now. Suggestions always welcomed :) so hopefully my friends here will enjoy them :)
