I can't imagine the mood that would put me in for the rest of the day. It woulda been ok when I was a cook, now much less so.

How are the kids now? still sick?

How are those lights? Thinking about dropping my AI primes and picking up 2 of them for my 75 gallon.

haha! so glad you said that! My wife started getting me thinking I was a bad person for yelling at them in the mornings when they wake me up!
They're great thanks for asking! I wish they woulda stayed sick longer to give me a chance to recover! j/k

I really dig them. I cannot offer a basis for comparison though as I've never ran AIs.
They were night and day difference from my Galaxy Hydro lights. I cant tell you how many AIs I see with fried lenses. So far my fixtures are going strong. They look the same as when I took them out of the box. A little dust on the fans.

So I stopped yelling and made a rule: if mommy and/or daddy are lying in bed, you're not allowed in my room.

Whoops. Didn't think of the amazing gif response I'd have from my before coffee ramble.

Yesterday @fishface NJ told me "Nice rack"... Everyone behaved. This is @Projects with Sam 's thread - it won't go without a response.

So in-between everything that's going on I've been working on my frag tank piecemeal. When I have '5minutes till lunchtime' or 'ten minutes till we leave kids'. Its amazing how many of these increments of time, just short enough to get nothing done; just long enough to get a lot done... Just need to find the right tasks...
Anyway; heres what ive also been doing the past few weeks:

I added 2 new products... printing them now to test and get photos.

4" Filter Sock Holder for a Bucket

3D printed filter sock holder for a 5 or 7 gallon bucket. This is great for filtering your aquarium. One can run a siphon from their tank through the filter sock into the bucket, then pump the water back to the tank from the bucket for continuous siphoning.
