:lmao:

You know....the short bus!!!

When you were young, didn't you used to see all the "special" kids arrive at school on the "short bus"????

Okay, maybe its just something me and buddies from high school say :lol:

 

[tbone28]

dude, I had to take public transportation in high school

 

[Jim_S]

:lol: :lmao: :lol:

I don't think you get it... or maybe you do...

Either way, cheers buddy I'll have some skimmate shots up for you soon

 

[tbone28]

please just force feed your fish tonight :lmao:

Man how do you keep all the wires from hanging all over the place. I got cords everywhere.

 

[Jim_S]

Sup Hiep

Yeah, the cords are a pain. I have all my Tunze cables tucked into a long sleeve, but the power cables you see are unsightly and annoying

However, they are also on the outside back of my stand, so they don't get in the way

 

[jtarmitage]

Looking good Jim. How hard is it to pull the collection cup? It looks like a pain. Did you think about turning the skimmer around 180 degrees so you wouldn't have to deal with the standpipe being in the way?

 

[Jim_S]

Hey Jeremy.

Yeah, the cup comes off by just pulling up. Its a tight fit, but I can pop it off no prob.

The skimmer is set up so that I can really move it around if I have to. I'll run with it this way for now then switch it if I have to. I really wanted to see the pump and have easy access to it. If I want to turn it around it would be a fairly easy move

 

[kdblove_99]

I like that! My MSX cup is the same way just pull up and off it comes, great design IMO

Got my Radiant Wrasse from LA today. Site said small and that he is. But man he was in and eating right away and was out the whole time swimming around like he had been there the whole time. Definintely a very cool fish i really like tehre color alot i had only seen standard pics of them on websites which do them no justice
