  1. So im still doing this! However due to covid I had an enormous boom in business when the stimulus checks rolled out, and unfortunately wasnt able to get to alot of your guys cars in a timely manner due to the crazy overload I was under with walk ins, and scheduling in multiple other places, things just got really crazy. However when the stimulus checks started fading out business seemed to do the same. I had a legitimate shop with a sign and everything in vancouver, but unfortunately was forced to move out and sell off some of my large equipment. 

    Im currently insured to do mobile work, and am primarily focused on that as ive recently moved and no longer have garage or shop space. My labor rates have gone up since, but since everyone here is so awesome ill offer the $50/ hour rate. Thats 33% off my standard rate.

    Times are tough right now for all of us, and with moving out of my shop, and out of my house into an apartment, its been extremely tough for me to say the least.

    Let me come to you and perform the work at the same level of quality, or better than your standard shop for less than half your standard shop rate in the area. Not only that, Im able to offer the same warranty and guarantees as any reputable shop.

    I primarily service in the portland metro area, but if you wanna pay me for some of my drive time im happy to go wherever you need!

    I don’t work on cars for a job but more of a hobby.. I do alright! 

    The main thing id do different is id go back to being 18 and go get that engineering degree instead of chasing a six figure year working flat rate on cars. Lost my shop this month, had to sell off my system and still trying to sell everything to just recover. Cars are definitely a better hobby/ side gig opposed to a job.

    In all reality working on cars drained me to the point my tank didnt get the attention it needed. Hopefully switching over to welding while I pursue an engineering degree works better for me. 

    Moving forward, once im recovered from all of this im going custom acrylic 300+g peninsula if possible. Im gonna pay a good friend of mine to build me a bad [language filter] scape so i can just put it all together, and just be patient through the woes. If given myself alot of stress and headaches trying to keep sticks in young tanks and its just not worth it in the end. Nothing grows until things stabilize anyways. 

    Im gonna be patient and buy the top of the line equipment that makes keeping a reef easier by having failsafes. 

    In short im just gonna practice exercising more patience and budgeting in my next build so I can just be happy with the results and let it do its thing.

  3. Ive still got my 36" ATI powermodule hybrid 8x39w, 2x75w fixture with new fans 3 month old bulbs, extra bulbs, and programming cable.

    coralbox dc500 skimmer. Works great, looks and operates like new except i accidentally broke the intake silencer bracket while cleaning it once so i glued it back on using pvc glue.

    And last for now is my favorite lobo ive ever owned or seen. I got this 3 years ago fresh off an aussie shipment if i remember correctly, and it did nothing for the first 2 years.
