omg no eels. they freak me out. I'm thinking lots of tangs. schools of small fish. There's just so much I could do with this. Never know I may change my mind on everything still lol.

No way eels are way cool!!! Trust me!!

Garden eels are small and dont bite!!!

inlander · Big-Geek

We had one and hardly ever seen it , they will impress you beyond imagination.

Not a fan of big eels myself !!

I used it a lot for ceramic shafted pumps that froze up never had a problem, the safest thing and probably best is pickling vinegar and razor blades, it has a greater acidity than regular

ew vinager makes me sick to my stomach. I absolutely hate it, but it's safe.....

Barbara · Geekette

I hate it too......but it works and it's safe!

Talked to the guy today that I'm getting the tank from. I remember him now. Me and another buddy of mine sold him a Suburban about 6 years ago. He's pretty excited about getting it out of there. He's got it all emptied out and ready for me.

when's moving day?

rgrking · Spawning

Wednesday at 5pm. I'm closing up the shop and taking all of my techs and porters out there to move it for me

I love having a crappy back. I already have the trailer at my house. I'll take a camera with me and document the move and when it's set up.

I can't wait to measure under the cabinet to see what kind of room I'll have in there. Then there's the question on drilling or not drilling. I've drilled glass before but nothing this thick. Just stained glass.

I had to put 4 or 5 tanks in the closet so that my fish room wasn't overly cluttered when I get it in there. I'm going to try to get plumbing up to the room next weekend. Not sure on the drainage yet on how to do it. O know I want to add a big wash tub in that room so I need a drain at some point.

do I smell obsession?

rgrking · Spawning

my new gf lol

Sneezy · Big-Geek

LOL right on Glen, so are you going to put this in the wall or what? Can we get some pic's of where it will go?

rgrking · Spawning

I'm just setting it against the wall. I want to paint it first so I don't get that darn green look in the room. I'll snap a pic tonight.

Barbara · Geekette

this is sooooooo exciting!!! only 2 more days!!!

......can't wait to see pics from start to finish either!

.....so what's the gf think of this?

rgrking · Spawning

lmao she tried to tell me no on getting it. kinda put a ripple in the relationship. I'm not going to have someone tell me no anymore. Had that in my marriage. Never again.

high tide · Big-Geek

rahrah rrrrrrrr!!!!!!
