I mean...
The poor dear. I hadda come home an' take carr-uh him. So I'm throwing caution to the wind and risking getting sick to be home widda hubby. It's nice. He's hotter than hell, too. Running a fever of 102 or so. I'm gonna hafta be careful 'cause I can't afford to get sick right now. Eeesh... But it's still so nice to have his sick lil' ass here.
So here it is... My latest project!
Notice the enthralled kitties checking out alla new equipment.
Just started 'er up... Sand detrius is foggin' things.
The first bits of live rock, as you can FINALLY see them crisp and clear. The individual patterns on them are amazing! Even with barely anything on them in terms of visible life, they are beautiful...
It's gonna be so gorgeous!
So I've only had one major plumbing mishap. Seems I forgot to put the final clamp on the hose that returns water to the tank... The little submersible pump is one strong little fucker. I found out just HOW strong as I was trying to place the sump tank in a final position. Ron and Bam were watching t.v. and talking as I fiddled with shit. Next thing ya know...
*FFFFffffffshshshshssssshhhhhssscccchshshchchccccchffffffffsssshhh!!!!!!!*
AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! UNPLUG UNPLUG UNPLUGGIT UNPLUGGITTT!!!! It'sa geyser in the livingroom!!!! I watched in horror as puddles of water flowed from under the cabinet, all over the carpet. I saw hope in the edges of the spilling water though...as they spread on the carpet, I noticed that the edges had air bubbles under them, that I had few precious seconds to grab towels from the hall closet and sop that shit up before it was absorbed! Low and behold, and to the utter amazement of the men on the couch, I successfully sopped that shit UP! WHOOOOOO!!!!!! *Whew*
Needless to say, I had Ron help me put a clamp on that damn thing right after I cleaned up the saltwatery, itchy mess. Yes, saltwater is itchy on your dry, hairy legs. It's spring now. Time to pull out the razor a little more often than twice a month. Mmmm-hmmm. That's my saltwater tank 'ventures so far. The next installment'll probably be in anther two weeks or so. I hafta take my time 'fore I add to thuh BiOLoAd. Yea, man.
I'munna go rub Ronnie's noe now. Later!

The tank looks like it is coming along nicely. It is neat to hear that there is so much life in those hunks of rock. Keep us posted on how it goes.
