Don't judge a book by it's cover! They're all trouble!
Best to judge them by their works! LOL

I know large public aquariums, or at least the few that I’ve been “behind scenes”, they are delivered salt by the 2000lb sack on a pallet, it was even Instant Ocean brand. Might be worth thinking about. Especially calling whom ever salt you’re interested in directly.

That boy needs a laxative.He hit with his fist it while I was standing at the front door watching them head out to play some football!! This is why I know he is trouble...

Replace it with a cast iron cap. He'll only punch it one more time!

Finished the 1/2” plywood ceiling and wall surround, caulked in and ready for paint!!
Had to lay across a few 2x4’s to screw those all in on my back and flip around to caulk all the seams. Glad I did it and will be able to mount the returns right to the plywood… creates a water tight seal above the tank, fish can’t jump out those two sides now… bonus
Also worked on the catwalk a little, have a floor drain I’m putting in there… the catwalk will be tall enough to comfortably lean over and view the tank top down, it’s also the side I will enter and exit when working inside the tank…

Nice Progress! But now I'm starting to get mad at Bill and I don't even know him! Maybe we should all start calling and texting him. LOL
Are you sure you don't want the monster Palani? I saw it this weekend and it could barely turn around in a 300g tank! I think we should either...
A. Fly it back to Australia and let him free, or B. Drive him to Utah and put it in your tank!
I picked up the Goldenheart. And he's one of my biggest fish! You can see how small he looks beside the Palani. He went in my eel tank. And I'm getting a Leucistic Zebra I'm pretty excited about. (see pic). Also going in the eel tank. Hopefully my Dragon Eel will play nice.
I started reading your posts when I was working on my 800g. It gave me a lot of inspiration. Thanks so much for keeping us updated. Now I'm eager to see some fish go in! (Besides the Koi. ) LET'S GO BILL!
