Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I have to drive 17 hours or so on the 10/25. I am going to see Daniel graduate AIT and then driving him home right after.

Will leave around 5 am and be home around 2am the next morning.

Should be fun!
 
Regarding running an outside intake line for a skimmer; if airline tubing was to be used, one could use an extra 25 feet of coiled tubing inside the house prior to the skimmer. This would be plenty to allow for the inflow of cold air to warm as air does not hold thermal properties well. If going this route, I strongly recommend having the line exit the house as high as possible. This way, if you leave it running in the summer, there is less of a chance of vapor pollutants (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) being drawn into the line. I also recommend connecting an inline charcoal filter inside the house.

Very sound advice!

I had thought about the height, but never thought about charcoal. Smart. Thank you.

When is this
 
My last traffic stop was 105 in a 55.
I once got 7 citations at once. It's what I got for dating the dispacther cop's girlfriend. I heard him on the radio as the cop that stopped me ran my plates. I heard him say, "Throw the book at him." Let's see if I can remember them all, shall we?

Improper start (burn out)
Drag Racing
Speeding
Driving too fast in wet road conditions
Passing at an intersection
Running a stop sign
Reckless operation

Something like that anyway.

Of course, I was actually innocent of all charges. :cool:

Aren't we always?

This happened back in the mid 70s. The guy still hates me. Now he runs the 911 department, so if I ever have to call 911, I am screwed. :)

I know a guy...I could get his calls routed all over the country for a day. Maybe it'll shorten his career for ya.

Devious. I like it. :)
 
How are you liking time off?
So far, so good. I just chilled today. Did a water change on my aiptasia tank. Cut my neighbor's vines off of my fence and house. Ate some pizza. Hung out here for a bit. I am going to have to find a group of old guys to go sit and have coffee with at Burger King in the mornings after the first of the year. :-)
