Added a table. Check emails ,drink espresso while watching the kids

The table cloth was a nice touch.
 
Added 3 ai primes
I love them !!!

Also threw on a nero 5 pump
Got another on being delivered soon

Love the easy control on my phone.
Yes it had a cord in the tank but I don’t even notice it. Pushes lots of water. The magnet IS. Strong enough for my 1/2” thick glass. Holding strong
