Join me for a strange one...

[srusso]

Even your jig-clamps?? Oh the pros of having nice toys...

For real!! Big boy toys are the best!

 

[Hookup]

As for your quiz... My guess is 1000.

I never thought I'd finish the back!

Now I have to write a CNC program to drill a thousand holes in the suction standpipe. And I've got to make the eductors.

Am I right? Or were you wrong? LOL!!! :lmao:

 

[props4you]

quiz... My guess is 2500 ?

 

[hail_sniper]

just about 2000 i would say from my haphazard counting and estimate

 

[srusso]

My guess 1,800... What do I win?

 

[kcress]

You guys are pretty dang good with your estimates. Except (cough) Hookup...:lmao:

Exactly...

Two thousand three hundred and thirty six holes.

So props4you gets the Kewpie doll.




I picked up a bunch of fittings today for the output stand-pipe. Of course the dang store had two of something in need 6 of so I'll have to check two other stores first. I hope to get it shaped-up tomorrow. I want some schedule 10 or 20 PVC to make the eductor venturies.

 

[kcress]

I'll have the two stand-pipes done today and installed.

I will soon be needing sand. I want that glaringly white, not fine, but not too coarse stuff. What am I looking for? What's it called and where do I find it? (This is not a quiz :lol

 

[hail_sniper]

aragonite? ..

 

[kcress]

Yeah, yeah, thanks, that's the stuff. Coarse sugar size. Where do I get it?

 

[hail_sniper]

well most LFS's should carry big ol' bags of it, not too sure where else.. maybe one of those places that store alot of rock, brick, sand etc.. idk if there open to the public.. someone can chime in there

 

[props4you]

Yeah I win, now if I can only guess the lotto numbers....lol

They also have locline. If you have a business licenes you can get a discount.

 

[hail_sniper]

i wonder how much shipping would be for the possibly 100 - 200+ lbs, yikes!

 

[Truett]

For me to order 100 lbs shipping would be $84.12 for ups ground. But shipping depends on where you live.

 

[kcress]

It certainly puts a whole new light on "buy local", doesn't it.

Thanks Truett.

My existing tank has about 200lbs of crushed coral in it. That stuff is at about 15 years old so I'm not sure it has any 'buffering' ability left.

I really wanted to go with white this time around. We have a giant Pet Smart in town. I'll see what they have.

 

[mtnbiker44]

Yeah, yeah, thanks, that's the stuff. Coarse sugar size. Where do I get it?

I just bought some aragonite live sand from Petco w/free shipping.

 

[mtnbiker44]

& I bought 120lbs.

 

[kcress]

!!!! Free shipping?! How? Is that a special or you exceeded $xx?

 

[hail_sniper]

sounds like the if you buy this much shipping is free thing. lol sucks to be petco, its like almost no profit probably
