Translation from Smackanese:

It’ll be at least 3 weeks before I break up with this Lady, then I’ll meet her friend and start a new love Maybe by summer I’ll do something on the floor, but I doubt it.

I'm thinking 'No grout', isn't going to weigh well for you if Rams' flooring/compatibility relationship correlation theory holds true.

Just curious on your build. Is that a pump hooked up to your drain line?

Update time

I’ve got the electric under the tank completed and started gluing pipes






I still have to glue the tank return lines to complete. In the mean time I’ll be mixing 100 gallons of saltwater

I also added 16 RBTAs to the tank. They were really neglected in the 90 as the biggest one was about half dollar size. Now the smallest is about half dollar size

You can see I’ve got a serious hair algae issue
