Norstar's 350 gal Tank Build

[Norstar]

It's running now! A couple of minor leaks with the plumbing to deal with - nothing critical.

I am so thrilled with it. I've waited a long time for it. I can't tell you how excited I am!!!!!!

Oddly enough, it was delivered by Mother Nature herself. Yep, in fact, personally. She regretfully had to tell me that I was 50 years old today!! Holy cow!!!! 50! I can still remember being 10!!! What happened in between?!?!? I still feel like having milk run out out of my nose and thinking its cool.

Funny how things can creep up on you. Oddly enough, some days, I still feel like in 10 years old (my wife confirms this)

Anyway, I'd better get going. I have to look up some clinics regarding Botox treatments and a good salon regarding my gray hair. Some kids are playing on my lawn and I have to go yell at them (that's what I think I'm supposed to do anyway). And oh ya, I better get my "Depends". Apparently, old foggies like me need those for some weird reason (maybe its because I need to go to the bathroom 2-3 times a night - lol).

Well, here's to my heart bypass and retirement in 20 years!

stop your whining you old fart and get some more pictures up on canreef.

OK, who's the smarty pants that wanted to see more pictures!!!!

I think you guys jinxed me

Got a bit of a surprise today. One of the top Euro braces started cracking. AHHHH - run for the hills - she's gonna blow!!!

Actually, the tank manufacturer told me to drain the tank, and that they would come to my home next week to fix it. In fact, they will re-inforce it with a center brace as well. Now that's service!!







Sorry about the pic quality. I took them with my Blackberry. Our camera is in Osoyoos with the wife and kids.
