Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

My dendro is recovering! I thought this was a goner after my little hiccup. I am shocked. I'll try to get a pic this weekend.

My son's decorator decided to wear a new sponge today. He was so excited. He has been dying for his crab to be as hideous as mine.

Any of you guys remember seeing a 1 gallon Red Sea acrylic tank? May have been for shrimp. Not sure.

@hdsoftail1065 this one...more pink in person

I might have accidentally bought the one gallon. No plans yet. Just something for fun. First I'll have to get a top made for it.

Looks like it's genetic.

I predict he'll be making his own stands like me. Let's see if HE can do it without giving himself a black eye.

I spy a pinewood derby car! I won first place with mine. I had a very small narrow car. Looked like it would be very light.... but I drilled 3 holes in it and filled with melted lead fishing weights... yea, sneaky. Hey, there is nothing in the rules about filling the body with lead. It was right at max weight.

He has won 1st or 2nd place every year so far. He does his own work. Good eye Robin!

I remember one kid in our troop whose dad would bring beebees and add them to the limit at weigh in. The kid won two years in a row and then they would not let his dad do it anymore. It was clear the dad made the car too.

We had kids try and file the wheels down, and one that had a "shark" themed car where the nose hung over the edge. The shark car somehow made it past inspection, but I beat him anyway.

I would rather my boys do it themselves. One year I had a boy bring one unpainted. He was very upset. Amazing what you can do with a black Sharpie and a few decals in 10 minutes. I always take care of my kiddos.

My mom still has 2 of the cars I made when I was a child. Such a great and instructive project.

You beat me to it, I knew what that block of wood was instantly. Sadly my cars all had square wheels and never got off the line!

This car may end up with a reef theme. He asked if I could draw an Octopus...

Somebody finally moved us to the build thread section. Lol. Are y'all happy now?

How cool. I haven't had a Decorator crab in many moons. I loved that little guy.

I still have my Pinewood derby car and I can see it from where I am sitting too
