Thank you, really looking forward to bringing this home!

What kind of clown is she? I had a maroon one that was gorgeous but possessed by the same forces of evil that power my cat. They’re such trippy fish!

I got one in my garage you could have.

Those look like maybe VHO ends in the photo??? Maybe a photo of the tank facing side of the light hood and a close up on the ballasts would help folks see what’s there better.

I’ve been on the fence about a table saw for years. We’re getting ready to do some major work in the house though, so I’m leaning harder towards biting the bullet and getting one before freight increases make them cost 1000% more than they already do. We have about every other kind of saw. I’m a rancher by trade though, not a carpenter, and I don’t mind saying that woodworking and structural engineering type stuff is a little intimidating to me. Fences, goat sheds, and barn repair is one thing, something holding 3000 plus pounds of sloshing weight? Yeah no I’m not trying to bluff that I’m that good. I wish I’d paid more attention when I was younger to my cousin Dale, he was a master woodworker and old school cabinet maker whose skills I really miss. I don’t mind laying tile but I’m not confident enough in my math or my welding to try to make a stand without adult supervision. Heh. Around here, those light 1/4” panels would quickly become kindling. We run a ranch, so our house has a constant stream of kids, large dogs skidding around, and annual seasonal invasions of bottle lambs or goat kids. You ever see that scene in Bambi where the little deer hits the ice and all four legs go out and he skids around? That’s my house every morning as our Dobermans come thundering down the halls and around the corners once freed from the bedrooms of their respective favorite family members. Multiply that by 3-8 when we’ve got bottle lambs in the house. It’s adorable but terrifying. Let’s just say we earthquake proofed this place BEFORE the earthquake actually hit.

That looks super sharp! I like the way your hood works too. We’re going for kinda a more gritty steam punk meets forest by the sea aesthetic, but I really like how that sleek look gives life in your living room.

Ah well I tried. Sure that works.

That would work great. I could even meet you there. You guys eat lamb? I’ll bring you some fresh organic pasture raised chops as a thanks for the drive halfway.

Happy Valley is a bit of a hike. At the price of diesel these days… would you mind shipping to 97374?

Where are you located?

Could all those socks fit in a flat rate priority mail box?

I used to get my aquarium cabinetry done by a guy in Salem who owned a fish store in south Salem, but I heard his light departed this world. Looking around for somebody who still does that kind of thing. Our local cabinet makers give me deer in headlights looks when I bring it up.

I’m the weirdo who tests the water in the bag for ph & salinity, then compares to quarantine tank water. If it’s close on ph and not too far off on salinity, I’ll float n separate fish from water to quarantine tank. If it’s way freaking off, I’ll adjust my qtank to match closer and then over the course of the observation period, bring the fish/invert up to speed to where I keep my display. Seems to me like moving back up in salinity is harder than going down, and ph differences seem to affect things more than salinity. Kinda depends on source too, store vs mail order. I made the mistake of drip acclimating mail order fish once, before understanding the role oxygen and ammonia play with each other.

Pretty sure RO/DI doesn’t actually remove everything. It gets a good percentage of things, but you can’t really get all of it unless it’s super clean water to begin with or you’re running multiple membranes.

Dimensions and photos? Who manufactured it?
