Real Question ,input on the glue... What did y'all use before the plugs and putty's existed ??...

The rock they came with, or stuffed them in a rock. Or, they just decorated the sand bed cause I had no idea super glue gel worked...

Just your standard external pump and a 'circulation loop' plumbed into it should do it.
Gates on the freshwater and saltwater inlet and outlet cover your flow pattern. You can even automate it if you're nerdy like me. The sides aren't sturdy so plumbing your return bulkhead can be... problematic... without support on the metal cage, but I don't recommend the metal cage anyways because they're cheap metal and subject to corrosion quick.

I might add I also get these free from work. I just have to flush them for days before using them because we store sodium chlorite in them.

The ones we get for Citric Acid are the ones I like to claim when possible.

I work in the water department and we have to pay to have our totes picked up so it's cheaper fo me to haul them off for free than for us to pay the company that sold them to us to get them so I get them for free too. I have to rinse pretty good since they have flocculant and coagulant in them but it's water soluble and drinking water safe at least!

Yes, less light headed, and telling myself to not go diving for shrooms.

I got 2 buds on the sand I want to recover... it wont go well if i try to snag them. I guess, they're on their own.

I felt like crap yesterday and went to bed at 8pm. Power went out about 8:30 last night as a bad thunderstorm rolled through... and of course the storm woke me up. The first estimate for power back on was 12am, and I have 1 powerhead on a battery backup so figured that would be ok. Then about 11:30pm, the estimate changed to 3:30am, so I dragged myself out of bed to get the generator going -- no dice. The thing's been started maybe 6 times since I bought it and the pull cord won't catch. Not at all. (It's out of warranty of course). Started to try to take it apart to see if I could tell what the problem was (got instructions from the manufacturer website) but there are 12 steps to even get to the part I needed to look at, and by then, practically the entire generator would have been disassembled! Plus, I still felt like crap. So I put an extra battery bubbler on the tank and crossed my fingers...

Everything seems ok this morning but I'm gonna need to get a new genny. Maybe electric start this time?

Electric start have to be started frequently or keep a battery tender hooked up so the starter battery doesn't die.

Small little scuffle just took place. Cbb bit the H. Leu, cliwn tang bit the copperband and Eli got a bit irritated.. and the clown did not know how to respond except to say "please, don't kill me".



Look at piglet's eye.
