Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

[SashimiTurtle]

Hanging with my bro today... might be late tonight or tomorrow in the scape... tank will be wet by tomorrow tho.

 

[Katrina71]

Still got me on the edge of my seat in extreme anticipation. ;Nailbiting

I like surprises!

 

[Katrina71]

Any of you guys happen to do metal art? Been looking for a lighted Kraken wall sconce for above my tank.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

I can smash something with a hammer... that's about the extent of my metal fabricating abilities.

 

[sfin52]

I do to best emoji for that

@Katrina71 that's what you picked up for Turtle's sump, that will definitely keep the little kids out.

Not mine! He wants to keep it

 

[Amoo]

I know it's only 4 pm but I've been chainsawing for the last 3 hours.

That's a mix of so co style flavour and some brandy vanilla extract.

Darn file too big, oh well

 

[sfin52]

I been at it since 0830 and I'm knee deep in bug guts. And two cases of bed bugs. Just a way to fuel the addiction called reefing.

 

[Katrina71]

Brandy vanilla extract sounds good.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Guess what...?

No notifications for me since last night either... Here I was thinking you all went to bed and i missed some good drinks by the sounds of it! Think my UPS schedule looks like yours for Thursday! Reefbrite!!

@Katrina71 Call me impressed! You managed to get your arm through a port hole and power a light bulb! Or is that Turtles arm? I'm so confused! Either way That's talent! I feel lucky when I can reach the snail shell behind my stand.

 

[Katrina71]

@Scurvy I'm giving you the tentacle right now

 

[Scurvy]

@Scurvy I'm giving you the tentacle right now

It's good to know Octopus have 8 legs so it can't be the middle

Flippers man, turtles have flippers.

 

[Scurvy]

Touché! Finally an image that google couldn't provide.... No Turtles with Octopus arms.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Just got home and got these inside...

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Ok, so we have rocks, dirt, a pump, a valve and a dog... wait a dog? Oh he didn't come in the box he's just nosy. There are some nice shapes in those rocks.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

So... we've run into a bit of a snag. The hose I bought to fit the return plumbing is too small fornthe return pump. I need 3/4ID hose not 3/4OD hose. That also means I need a 3/4 barb on the plumbing and not the one I have. The new barb doesn't fit the plumbing because the end is a 3/4 male slip to 1/2 female thread 90... well, I thought it was a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer in a 3/4 slip to thread 90... Lowes closed 10 minutes ago, I'll have to get an adapter tomorrow and try and get the pump hooked up.

Oh yea, I painted the plumbing last week.

I can set up the rocks and fill the tank with water... that is if I don't have to take that return plumbing off and rebuild the whole thing. Ideas....

That center rock has a hole right thru it already. Oh the surprise, don't think I'm going that route. I'll show you what I had in mind later.

Right now, it's beer and D&D time with the idiots in my gaming clan. Normally we play Xbox One games, but someone decided we should try this online Dungeons and Dragons website.
