Thanks Dave I will post more pics. Don't worry about that I love to post pics here it is very easy. I was gonna start a thread about what I eat everyday but I wouldn't want to make everyone sick.

I got my refractometer today. My floaty hydrometer says I have a SG of 1.022 and the refractometer (after claibration) says I have a SG of 1.025. I think maybe I need to read the directions again.

Any how I don't think it will be ready by then. I will be inviting everyone on here over in a year if everything goes well.

My best friend is Melanie C.... maybe you know her ex BF, Leigh, he had a band that played around a lot when I was there last, called Plan B. And I met his friend Brett, he was kinda lame.. but I liked his other friend I think his name was Dan.

But Leigh... he's a dork.

Leigh Orvis and Brett Lingal. I might not know Melanie though I don't think I Know a single Melanie. Yeah, I know Dan Henson, Too. That is funny. I thought you were full of it at first.

A funny story about Leigh... My brother slammed his finger in our front door one day (about 20 years ago) and chopped the end of it off.

Well, I drilled my collection cup today. No more dumping it every 3 hours. I also raised my water level in the chamber. I got it about 3 inches from the top of the chamber. I'll see how it runs there for a while if I need to bring it up higher I will. My house smells like a dead fish.

If anyone wants me to post a pic of the drain tube from the cup let meknow.

My wife wouldn't tolerate that...

My wife would take that thing and throw it out the window if it smelled like a "dead fish"

I would just say.. man the kids really stink, I think they need a bath.. it could take days to get that smell out of here now...

I think this weekend my lights will come. Early next week on the calcium reactor. I got my other heaters and the temp is finally up to 82. I'm running 1650 watts of heaters. The house no longer smells like a dead fish and the smell in the water is almost non-existent. I love my skimmer. My SG has dropped from 1.027 to 1.023 from the skimmer, I added salt last night. I will post some frivolous pictures this weekend just to appease anyone that wants to look at something. Total water volume minus the LR displacment is right at about 340 to 350. I don't remember if I posted that yet or not. I have my water as high in the sump as I can get it with out overflowing when I shut the pumps down. My auto top off is working great except that I can't figure out how to stop the waste water from running. There has to be a simple solution to this. I'm gonna do a water change with a good sloshing of all the LR on sunday. I need to find a local dealer where I can get some IO.
