I'm soooooo jealous!

I am in love with your Olivaceous. Awesome fish.

 

[bchbum189]

he has to be the most ill tempered fish ive ever had, and not towards other fish but towards people... Ive been cut by him once now and a buddy of mine has been cut twice! Keep in mind ive trimmed off his bard so this is with a little nub of a spine. Every time i go to feed, i like to feed by hand, same routine, he comes up and backs his tail into my hand and trys to slice me.. Little jerk

it was either turbo kit for her or big fish tank....i lost alot of sleep over the decision

you made the right choice, its never a good idea to boost an engine that was not designed for it,

that orange shoulder is obese ....

agreed, I have owned numerous turbo'd cars, and engines that are n/a usually don't take boost well. They just blow up. Unless built

Yes it is.

 

[chrisk24]

He got that powder blue from me when i brock my system down just wondering how the fish was doing i hated to get rid of him.

 

[bchbum189]

hes a great fish, very active as all powder blues are. Loves to attack the magnet cleaner which is always fun to watch.

As for turboing a N/A car, blowing them up is just the perfect excuse to build them right!

 

[StripestheEel]

You cut the tangs barb off? Whaaaa... How?

No wonder he hates you!

 

[bchbum189]

i do to all of my tangs before they go into my systems, nothing finger nail clippers cant handle. Its easiest with 2 people, one person holds them flat and still, other person puts the clippers up under barb and clips. Thats it... Doesnt hurt fish as there is no nerves there.

 

[rsmall175]

watch out for PETA or some crazy

 

[rsmall175]

BTW 20 more

 

[bchbum189]

20 more what?

A sump i built for a customer didnt fit into their stand so i just inherited a 60x20x20 sump for this system, which is great saves me a great deal of time there.

Well I see you're tread is coming along nicely how's the tank build. I'm stuck in Guam for a little while longer but hopefully I'll have time to start a build tread as well for my new ~220.

BTW For those that haven't met bchbum he does GREAT work with so if your looking for something custom give him a call or PM...
