Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

I like surprises.

One thing I learned, reef saver rock is not very porous. Might as well put bricks in your tank...

 

[Katrina71]

Don't ask me, I can't get my own life straight...

Me either! I've figured out only be really worried when you think you have.

The best bit for live rock is the biggest set you can find at harbor freight. Jus chisel drill them till ya have a good hole. Wet or dry.
I'd rather have a .35 rusty tool than the right one. Lol.

Thanks @Robin Haselden
Enjoying the thread so far. Still a bit early to indulge but when the time is right, I'll supply the Canadian whiskey

I guess i don't discriminate when it comes to whiskey. Used to sip Canadian with Dad when he could still drink. Either of the Glens... when the mood strikes and im relaxing. Last night i may have been over served a tad celebrating a BDay but went Irish. Jamison and Ginger.

I'm going to have to get some Kraken spiced rum. I want the bottle.

That's what I ended up doing with that hole saw, hammer drilling with a regular drill. It's ruined for cutting wood now... but I didn't buy it for cutting wood. Pukani should drill much easier.

I was looking for my bottle the other night. I think I gave it away to someone.

I have used a hammer drill with a masonry bit. Still not easy work.

I do make rum cake. The wet kind with a bite.

I was quite disappointed with the stuff inside the bottle.

Pretty sure that's why I gave it away. Sailor Jerry is much better.

One Barrel Rum. Like candy. A warm sharp dagger candy.

I believe that isn't sold here... at least I've never seen it. BTW, great suggestion for dinner. Y'all hurry up before I eat it all.

(yes, that's my old ball valve in the top right that was on the drain. Ssshhhh, it's been a long week...)

I thought a hammer drill would shatter the rock.

I dunno, but I had to keep pulling back and hitting the bit into the rock to get it to bore thru. I'm hoping pukani is softer rock.

I'm starving now!

So this is Rev B on my QT for fish. It wasn't cycling correctly so it was time to reboot the entire system.

I figured I had earned a bit of refreshment after that.

Fancy name on that scotch that I can't pronounce, must be good stuff....

It is very good stuff but since I am new to scotch I may not know what the really good stuff is. However, my best friend, who got me started with scotch, likes this so I know it's not bad stuff.
