I ordered online through BRS.

Best way to learn how to tow a trailer is to go rent a small Uhaul trailer and practice in a parking lot, dont have to worry bout damaging your investment. Backing up a trailer takes some practice but once you have it down it is a pricless skill to have. Once you are comfortable driving around with a small trailer it’s pretty easy to get comfortable with a bigger trailer.

Not sure how to tell if it needs to be calibrated other then to compare to a test. I calibrate mine every 6ish months just to ensure it is accurate. I have not noticed much of a change when freshly calibrated so could probably go even longer between calibrations, but its cheap and easy to do.

Few of my fav’s, odd mix now that i look at them together.

I love my alk checker use it every day or two, much faster and i get more consistent results then I did with red sea. Only test other parameters once a week or if I believe there is an issue so still using red sea kits for them and haven’t upgraded to hannahs.

Welcome lots of great people on here.

I use polyfil batting. Get it at Walmart, only thing I go there for. Made a filter cup for my reefer out of a bottle I bought at tap plastic and siliconed a ring off a filter sock to it. FYI if u use polyfil it will make your skimmer go nuts for a few minutes.

Got a Classic set up wifi using this wifi booster with a ethernet port on it. I was going to shell out for the new apex till this was suggested to me. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-universal-wi-fi-range-extender-with-ethernet-port-white/2733324.p?skuId=2733324&cmp=RMX&extStoreId=1454&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=f58b7a44-9a57-4961-a4d8-fda3e155dba1&ksprof_id=401&ksaffcode=pg264797&ksdevice=m&lsft=ref:212,loc:2&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtJbTBRDkARIsAIA0a5M0U8ncFLx6iplOsCsuGPdIqrizUXxt869hgQMDCnBF5nnES1xuTtsaApRvEALw_wcB

Definitely Cuttlefish and Coral.

I believe CJ’s on 181st and Burnside has everything. May want to call ahead.

I don’t personally have a clam but im super excited to see the photos that show up for this!

Thats great, I would have loved to see that. His history is actually pretty interesting and very well hidden. He is the only body shop that I have ever heard of that hires a full time attorney

I manage an auto body shop that handles the collision repair side of things not restorations or custom projects. I basically babysit a bunch of adults and make sure they meet deadlines while maintaining quality. I also fight with insurance adjusters to ensure they pay for everything it takes to properly repair cars to pre-loss condition. Don’t listen to the big guy in town who spends tons of money on commercials to make it sound like he is the only shop who properly repairs vehicles, most reputable shops properly repair vehicles. In fact if you want a good laugh look up the reviews of his shop and see how satisfied people are who buy into the commercials.

Happy birthday Holly

Yes outdoor pond. The owner tested the ph today and it was about 8 ppm so a little high in his pond at his house, ph at the smaller pond at my work is 7.6 so definitely better. He only has a ph test so i will bring my api tests to work with me tomorrow and test kh, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates here. I did run to rising sun koi today to pick up antibiotics but the owner of the store said that antibiotics will not work this time of year in the cold water. He recommended a salt bath once a day for 3-4 days so I picked up some pond salt while there. Thank you everyone who has chimed in and I will keep the status of the fish updated here

Cool will treat with antibiotics and cross fingers. Already looks a little better today, no more white fuzzy stuff on the top salt bath must have helped. Will treating the pond hurt the beneficial bacteria in the filter?

Owner of the shop I manage told me today that he has a koi in his pond that has skin peeling off and wondered if I knew what to do. Knowing that he has many other large expensive koi in the same pond I told him the first thing we need to do was remove him from the pond in case it is contagious, especially since he told me he had lost one a few months ago that had a similar issue. We have small pond here at the shop that has 2 small cheap koi and 3-4 goldfish in it so I rushed up to his house to remove the fish and bring it to the more manageable pond here. I acclimated the fish and added a little salt to the cooler we transported him in and gave him a 10 min salt bath. I have been doing a little research online and it appears it could be related to PH or a bacterial issue. I told the owner he needs to test the water tonight or tomorrow and let me know the parameters, but was hoping in the meantime someone on here would have some experience with koi and could possibly point me in the right direction.

This helped me get my setting dialed in. I was running a reduced version of the ab+ spectrum they show, but got my seneye yesterday and my par was a little less then what I thought. I will slowly ramp up closer to their intensities over the next month or so till I get the par up a little more.

They are loud, especially when running in reverse.

I have 2 xf230 gyres.

Saw one of my flower anemones hitching a ride on the back of one of my hermits shells. This flower anemone of mine seems to move every few weeks, not sure why the other two have stayed put once they found their spot.

Just ordered a seneye on black friday deal , feel free to remove me from waiting list.

The wife and I are heading up to Seattle for a three day weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Im hoping to squeeze in one stop to a LFS, any suggestions? We will be staying in the city center area.

If you are going to have it sandblasted you may Want to consider spraying it with a bedliner like rhino liner. That stuff is bulletproof, and much cheaper then powder coating.
