Terry's 450g upgrade - Page 44

hmmm...i'll have to steal some of kim's magic erasers then, she buys them by the boatload since the dogs like to lay against the walls right after they've come from outside

tbittner · 03-30-2008, 09:17 PM

There are two kinds of magic erasers. DO NOT use the ones that have soap or anything like that added to them. I believe it's the Original Magic Eraser that is safe to use.

JoJo · 03-30-2008, 09:23 PM

ok, i may have to go pick some up because i remember her being excited because of the new ones she picked up had a Febreeze scent or something, must be a women thing. i still clean with bleach and water, she calls me ol' school but i'm on 24, go figure

framerguy · 03-31-2008, 12:24 AM

Hey Patti! Great to see you.

Magic erasers huh...I sell those in my store! I'll try them out.

Terry I have 2 seconds this morning to tell you congrats and it looks great! I had to work Saturday and Sunday because of all these projects we have going now. I was just thinking, where would be a good place to post some of the stuff we are doing? I guess that is if I find the time. Let me know if you have any ideas. I can't wait to see that tank with the goodies in her.

My Solaris in on the truck for DELIVERY!

Mark, I think a great place to post build pics of making tanks would be in the Equipment forum, there is a DIY sub forum. I'd LOVE to see how the tanks are built. Especially the BIG ones! I always imagined sky hooks and cranes all over the place to move stuff around.

althea2you · 03-31-2008, 08:25 AM

wooohooo!!!!! Lights are on the way!!!!

Craig Manoukian · 03-31-2008, 10:24 AM

Let there be light, eh?

Doot77 · 03-31-2008, 10:50 AM

Congrats on the BIG move, It looks great! The pics of the wife in the tank really do put into perspective how HUGE that tank really is. WOW!

pbittner · 03-31-2008, 11:55 AM

WOW is about all I can say........The guys really did shock me when they called me down and viola - it was already up on the stand.....I thought for sure they'd be standing around scratching their heads for atleast an hour while they thought and formulated their "great plan" LOL.....The move went better than I expected and best of all NO one (including the tank) was hurt in the making of this great adventure!

Yes - I am still amazed at being inside that tank and just how big it really is! I could be a real swimming pool for Jessi - she'd love it if only we'd let her!

Maybe she can go in to clean it out occassionally!!!! LOL
I am tired - but just from having my dear in-laws here for the weekend - I never realize how tiring it can be to entertain people - well and esp. if they love to talk - don't get me wrong I love when they visit - it was just a tiring weekend!

Take care all and hopefully the next big hurdle (the hold water test) will go as smoothly as this has!!

We expect to see you doing the backstroke during the hold water test Patti!

tbittner · 03-31-2008, 01:52 PM

She used to be on the swim team in high school. Lets not talk about how recent that was.

The LIGHT is in the HOUSE!!!

This thing is HUGE and HEAVY! It's going to continue to sit in the kitchen until someone gets home to help me carry it down to the basement. It's going to be interesting hanging it. Thats for sure!

Craig Manoukian · 03-31-2008, 01:53 PM

Picture of the lights in waiting? I'll expect a worlds record backstoke from Patti then!

tbittner · 03-31-2008, 01:59 PM

Oh yeah, one other thing...

I had hooked up my hammerhead pump temporarily to give me a chance to replace the seal in the barracuda. Since that is the pump I want to use for the closed loop, I needed to get it switched back out with the barracuda....

DONE!

What a PITA that is....
