The Miracle Tank

Katrina71 · Feb 10, 2020

Today I hope to get the window repair done. Trying to do it carefully without replacing the sheet rock. I think we can. Maybe even start on the window trim. 4 days off...I will start trimming out the stand come hell or high water!

Oh, school closed again for flooding. An extra set of hands will be nice. Andrew is way more handy than you'd expect. I think I'll let him miter the simple (less expensive) trim pieces on the stand too.

The demo part is done. Thanks Andrew!

I bet a dollar he is still sleeping.

Yes. It's ok. Mom promised pizza. #tradeout

He's so excited about the stand build! I know we cheated on the main construction, but we get the really fun part!

I want some! How is your pizza in TN? Thick / thin? Garlicky / sweet?

He didn't pick out the hardware. He just says "mom, you're a freak". Just wait until you see his Studio 54 sump lighting! The build is a 50/50 mix of us.

Either or

@Eagle_Steve sorry about all the fish. That is a gorgeous shark.

@Katrina71 didn't cheat you got a quality stand that you know is perfect. You won't worry about. Besides the devil is in the details

Katrina71 · Feb 10, 2020

Yes! Thanks to @siggy! It was a hard pill not to do it myself, but now I have zero concern!

Peace of mind is always good.

I have enough stress. No more.

Right you are

Btw, @siggy may have a velvet outbreak. Let's keep him in our thoughts. I know it's heartbreaking.

Katrina71 · Feb 10, 2020

@RichtheReefer21 has an outbreak too. He's not in a good place. He might be tearing down the tank. I really hope not.

Katrina71 · Feb 10, 2020

It's funny, when one of us struggles, we all feel it almost as if it were our own tank.

If it is to the point of tearing down the tank, I would suggest @RichtheReefer21 try H2O2 for treatment. It works great in QT, but I have used it to treat a clown with velvet in a tank with corals. I put a ton of frags in the 20l QT and all frags and fish lived. Frags were not happy, but lived.
