Have to clean my return pump for the first time... excited scared... I'd rather be buying new corals o_O
I’ll be doing the same for the first time...

Cleaning pump, power head, and skimmer.
 
2015 Chrysler 200 s v6. I have no idea where it even is when i open my hood [emoji23]
Oh yes, Chrysler. That is definitely one you dont want to tackle on your own unless you're mechanically inclined. Looking up the service procedure now. You have to remove the air filter box and intake tube, Jack up the vehicle and remove the tire, remove the belly pan, support the engine, remove the engine mount, remove ac bolts and THEN you can finally get at the alternator and remove it ;Nailbiting;Nailbiting my wife used to have a sebring, and working on that was always a fun time. I remember one time I did timing chains and the water pump, not sun as you have no room to work.

[emoji23] yeah thats not happening. Thanks for looking though.

I didnt even bother looking, after i looked up how to check my transmission fluid required taking front tire off.

I think i like to buy cars that the only thing i can do myself is the brakes [emoji23]. Last car was a mini cooper
 
Stop the moving process for a weekend to......

Install 5x 220 50 amp circuits for welders, install a 200 amp sub panel, run a crap ton of MC for interior and exterior lighting, run 250' of conduit for the wire for the weld feeds, trace out some other wires to determine if they can be used to go from old 220 lighting to 110 for new led lighting (sadly they did not use standard wire colors, who knows which one is the neutral lol). Along with the random crap of adding outlets here and there and trying to make the building a functional shop.

All in a shop used to build rock crawlers. So after work is done for the day, we will take some crawlers down the road to the rock quarry and maybe, just maybe have some fun.

Best thing is, all of this is for a friend who owns an LFS lololololol.

I had a chevy ,malibu that required removing the passenger wheel and the complete buber cover to change headlight bulbs, lol. What a PITA that was.
 
Changing filter pads
Clean up the QT for new fish (if i can find one)
Setting up an AI Hydra 26hd on my Lagoon! I was supposed to do that yesterday, but weather caused some delays on the delivery ;Shifty
 
I will continue the curing/culturing process for my soon-to-be live rock, doing water changes and other general tank maintenance, and continuing to work with a batch of 100+ freshwater angelfish that hatched last weekend (and are free swimming as of this morning).

Dont forget a dedicated high amperage 115v outlet for your smaller sheet metal welder and plasma cutter. Often overlooked with us fab and car guys. Sounds like a great garage!
 
RO membrane and filters
Water change (including rocks with a maxijet)

+ The plan is to finally get around to building a manifold for a reactor or two... you know just like I planned every weekend for the past 3 months :oops:
