I think he'd kill me if I did that.

I don't really mop very often (have helped mopped half the store's floor before, but it was the smaller half) and I admit I was surprised by the workout I got. FYI I don't really workout either, figure mopping is a pretty good start :lol:

tank plumbing modification checklist.

Kids in bed check.

Parts for planned modification either allready in the parts bin or purchased today... Check

dogs walked.... check

gf occupied? unhappily ... check.

All systems go!

:Banane10::bananapartyhat::Banane22:

oh wait.... we used one more piece than planned.. everything on hold! :laluot_08::laluot_32::laluot_10::laluot_21:




All though it was on the piece that made me want to do this mod, it is the last one I got to.

Fortunately its after the gate valve at that junction.. i can just leave everything else as is and turn the pump back on in a few hours and plug away again tomorrow night.

Lesson learned.. if having to do plumbing at night.. buy at least one extra of everything.

Always willing to give some. I get that way too ...
If the hugs aren't enough to get you through, I always find a good jolt helps :spider: :mrgreen:

Been waitin' for a slow spot to add this ....

Stupid skimmer
I woke up today to a cup filled with basically water
ATO filled up the missing water, then the chaeto tank tried to run too high ... good thing I had no plans

Only thing I did yesterday was put ... my ... hand ... in the tank .... argh
I changed the position of my vortechs ....

Took me awhile today to realise the issue
Whether or not that's the cause, it's still puking foam again, and I'm letting it do so, but it was so bad it was running over

At least now, since about dinner, it's just foaming a lot but not filling the cup

Kinda makes me wonder if the new CUC is releasing stuff from the rocks, such as epoxy residue, which is peeing off the skimmer

reefgirl189 05-26-2012 01:18 PM

I have a rant.

Sometimes I like to look at the local classified section. Okay... all the time actually. I'm currently shopping for some 'almost new' appliances for my new house. This has brought me to the topic of this post:

What is up with people and having a crazy idea of what their stuff is worth? I can buy a brand new in box stainless steel frigidaire fridge from Trail appliances for $650 today. What the F are you smoking thinking that you are going to list your 7 year old scratch and dented white GE garage fridge and ask $600 FIRM? Seriously? And who is going to want to buy a 12 year old dishwasher with a broken door latch for $200? Are you crazy?!?! Throw that hunk in the garbage already! I guess it doesn't hurt to try but seriously people... get real. Canadian tire down the street sells brand new Amana fridges for $550. And they aren't dented or scratched or 7 years old. Plus they come with warranty. You can *maybe* try to charge $300 for that used fridge - at best.

Which brings me to the best part. Three times this year this one person has posted an ad asking someone "by the grace of God" to donate their house or land to a "family in need". A HOUSE OR LAND? DONATE? I get it, hard times, blah blah blah, but this is Cold Lake, AB. You could trip walking down the street and fall into a decent job with great pay. Why would you expect someone to give you a house or land (worth at minimum around $80,000 for land or $180,000 for a piece of crap house) around here? Be realistic. If you're truly that hard up place an add asking for a rent to own situation. And don't throw a religious vice in there like "by the grace of God" - That's low. There's some very religious people around here and and that's not fair of you to try to play that card. I just can't believe the audacity of some people.

gregzz4 05-26-2012 01:23 PM

Holee ... or holy .. or whatever I should say :wink:
I wish work was that easy to find here

I agree with your rant in respect to everyone wants something for nothing, just wish I could throw a story back at ya

Are you serious ????

So, are you saying that, just 'cause I have a lot of time to spend on Canreef, that I say too much ???
I would have hoped that all I have said helped others :sad:

Exactly.

But seriously if you go though this thread the last 20 or more pages (never checked just guessing) is mostly posts by gregzz4 or nano. Just saying you both talk more then I do....which admittedly is pretty impressive since everyone says I talk a lot :lol: Guess a few people thought they'd tease you a bit about it.

gregzz4 05-26-2012 02:07 PM

Hmmm

Guess I'll have to remove this thread from my subscribed list for awhile :smile:

I've never wanted to be known as a, well, bah, that ....

Pretty much no need to come to this site anymore. Sites turned in to a useless blogging site. Thought this site was about fish, corals etc. Not how you cant find a job, your baby, zombies and all that garbage. Save that crap for Facebook. Moderators have allowed it to become a joke with some people. Don't know why newbies figure that they feel the need to respond to every post even though they're not even sure they know the answer. It's kept me away. None of this nonsense on Reefcentral.

thats a little harsh i love this site. friendly banter and in general a great group of ppl. ppl like to share the things they love kids fish cars. good times and bad. you say blog ...isnt a reef journal a blog sharing your thoughts ideas and mishaps. ive learned alot of things.and concider mysef a newb always. cautious in the advise i give for fear of being wrong.. but through all the banter ppl are helped.. isnt that the point. why cant it be lively.. i prefer learning with a chuckle than learning through a textbook. canreef is a great famiy of reefers that truly care and try to help ppl succeed. i dont see reefers on reefcentral going out of thier way to ship a tank to the middle of nowhere tohelp a reefer out. or taking time to rebuild and personally deliver a tank cross country.. all i saw from my short time on reefcentral where ppl with too much money and time on thier hands ban happy mods. and reef bunnies with no tanks just talking about thier menstral cycle. given there are great ppl on there as well i dont mean to judge all as a group.

all in all if you feel that strongly dont log on lifes to short..if the mods and owners dont care why should we.. be happy and happy reefing to you..im gonna kiss some babies..while drooling over fish and corals.)

disclaimer: this is a post of my opinions and mine alone and in no way am i paid to do so. nor do my opinions reflect any of that of canreef staff. if you wish to hate me for my opinions please do so in silence or pm i will not respond to an argument.
