worked out how much I made in Afghanistan per Day

[christyf5]

I can't wait to fire up my RS250, poor thing has been sitting out in the shed for a couple of months now It must be lonely out there all by itself in the dark.

Alternatively I would have liked to try out one of the ReefFlo Orca skimmers, I was looking at the 250 which is rated for 200-800 gallons. But its external and that kind of freaks me out a bit. The Octopus Extreme 250 is an in sump model, has gotten good reviews and is like half the price.

I suppose ultimately the best deal was the RS250 as I got it used and it looks brand new and has the gate valve mod done already.

Has anyone looked into those cone skimmers? I see Progressive Reef has some Octopus Hurricone Category 2 skimmers. They look interesting.

I know, working on it!!!! We need to sell our house first and man the market is incredibly slow here.

I'm hoping Mike buys the reefflo skimmer, then eventually I can talk up the ER and we can do a trade or something. Then again I might just love the ER so much I'll never part with it. I do love my CS6-2, it rocks my world!

Well ,you know that whatever he buys, he's going to sell, so just wait him out. Although the ER is probably going to do it for you!

You should really put it on your night stand and sing lullabys to it at bedtime then.

I don't feel sorry for someone who can keep acrylic in a shed in the winter and not have it crack

I am of course assuming an un-heated shed

[christyf5]

No its heated but now I'm thinking about going home at lunch to check on it. Jeez thanks a lot

Nah, all my acrylic is outside unheated. You're fine. Although it might look good on the coffee table instead of the shed. Just sayin'...

I dunno, I guess it would make a great conversation piece. People coming to look at the house might think it a bit odd though. Maybe if I took the collection cup off and put some flowers in it or something
