The guy who I grab sps from locally from time to time nuked his tank and is selling all his equipment so I grabbed myself an early birthday present:

I'm still pinching myself. I never thought I'd get such nice kit. Lots to learn.

I also feel obligated to offer this shirt to you too, since it's your face after all.

Name a size and I'll make it and ship it!

I also ordered some stuff to make custom stickers so your face can be on stickers too.

Stickers would be FIRE! I would put them on my tank, 5g buckets, a few on my truck! Projects with Sam is going to be the next Supreme clothing line… people will only be able to afford stickers…
At RAP when ppl ask how to get that shirt, I just let them know it’s designer and I think the sell for $78

Dangit. I cant get a 6' tank into my basement without some major hurdles to jump... I'd need to move my water heater (needs replacement anyway), break through a wall and cut a gas and a water pipe. I can do all this temporarily but it really diminishes my chances of getting it done when the wife is on a work trip (vacation?)... Also... spousal seal of approval for tank upgrade was rescinded... *sad face* I think it was granted in a moment of weakness.

This sounds like my bathtub replacement, that hasn't happened. Solid cast iron tub, not straight but angled slightly so it makes it wider than normal tubs. Next is a 28" wide door. Not a snowballs chance in hell that's coming out the door. We're literally going to have to cut the exterior wall to take out the tub. Plus my house is approx 100 yrs old and the bathroom is smaller than most closets. We're still living with the little old bathroom because neither of us wants to deal with that.

Cast Iron tubs rock.... ? ppl. pay big money to have them?
You the saying... " when the cast iron tub is a rock'in.... Don't ...
Forget to shore up the floor joists and throw a bunch of towels on the floor....

Changed the carbon & GFO; added kalkwasser to the stirrer, scraped the algae scrubber and made more frozen food. I need to change out my DI resin and make some big water changes... my Hanna was blinking 2.5 phosphates; I may dose 15ml LC to at least get it into the ones.

Just posted another filter I designed and am selling. Priced pretty high imo but still less then 1/2 comparable products.

ParlaRoller 1810

The ParlaRoller 1810 is designed to span an 18" sump. It can handle receiving water from multiple tanks via a 3-3/4"x8-1/2" opening in the top with customizable attachable lid and filtering it at down to as low as 30 microns. The filtration bay is a giant 10"x14" with a thick polycarbonate grate...

have a smaller one in the works too: (ParlaRoller18x5 on a 40 breeder)
