Leakity Leak Leak

[Nanook]

Well, I got the two tanks filled with FW last night and I had some leaks at bulkheads, unions, etc. I got a couple of them figured out, but have the A-Team coming over this evening to help get them perfected...then, we will turn on the pump

Menu for this evening is BEER and Dave's Special Experimental Wings...they sound promising for extra Toidy Time Tomorrow:lol:

Did you pre-wet the bulkhead gaskets? I've found that they seal better when they're wet and tend to dry with a nice "stick" if that makes any sense. Whenever I screw them on dry I always have at least one leak.

dave, you guys must have been drunk when you installed those, my home made bulkhead with a gasket cut by me hasn't leaked at all

I'd put up a cool avatar, but I told you! I'm busy with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!

besides I don't even have any good skills. You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills... avatars only go up for people who have great skills.

Aren't you pretty good at drawing, like animals and warriors and stuff?

After careful consideration Nook has decided to chuck the whole fish tank idea. Simply too much trouble.............

Some exciting news though.............he's has rededicated his efforts into turning his basement into "Daves Crazy World Circus" complete with all the 'fixins' you would expect to see at any circus.

His cube tank will now be used to make massive quantities of Kettle Corn and the 375 will be retrofitted to become a mini Krispy Kreme factory. YUM! My mouth is watering already!

Of course, Bogie has been renamed "The Man Eating Beast From Borneo".

Should be an exciting time for all. Bring the wives and children!

with its size you should be able to devide it into multiple flavors like the tins

I'm guessing the fumes got to Capo last night, Don't know if it was the PVC glue or the "experimental wing" fumes, but either way, Ol' Capo inhaled too much!

So Capo,

Is Dave going to set that 300g rubbermaid back into a look down tank hosting another killer clown? I think he only had the previous one set-up for 10 years.

Why do you always have to pick on his precious little lap dog that just loves to lick your face?

He's not licking your face......he's seeing if you taste good enough to EAT.
