    Funny you mention bowling. We've been going on Monday nights in Melbourne. $1 games and $2 shoe rental. Now that's a fickle sport. I bowled a 167 and back it up with a 80 last week!

    Golf used to be my sport. I grew up on the course with my Dad & Uncle. Now I barely get to play. I shoot in the lower 80's.

    That's about my average in bowling too. As for golf I don't keep score. I just swing and hope to make double bogie.

    I haven't forgot about you. New company here in Florida so still in the set up phase. That's been keeping me busy 60 hours a week. But as soon as I get a handle on everything I'll definitely stop by. I think about it every time I get to go to lunch but usually I'm starving so I go for the food. LOL I'm working Clearwater, Plant City and Sarasota smh. I did however got to meet your peeps at fins and skins one day after work needed some stuff. Had no clue it was that close.

    It's all good. It's a bonus to have a steady job which means more money for corals. My tank is in a pause mode now. Looks like I might be adding 2 gyre to the tank. Power surge blew out my mp60s.

    Dang! Bruh. Sorry to hear that brother. You might want to consider the lightning cap from Duke energy. I know Teco offers it. I believe if you lose equipment to lightning they cover it. not sure though.

    I will have to look into that or else the pumps power supply are just made improperly.

    This is the stays of my tank today. Have I lost some corals, yes. Are some struggling, yes. Is it my fault, somewhat. In the past 2 months I lost a main pump, which I mentioned some posts ago, power supply to my WP60s went out and it took over a week to get a new one. Ordered 2 Maxspect Gyre 150s that I couldn't use because my acrylic is to thick for the magnets. Ordered the suction cups only to find out they don't fix my pumps because they were made for the original 150s and the ones I have now are the new noise reducing ones. So I came up with my own fix and this is it,

    And this is one of the brackets I made to slide over my brace on the tank,

    Now the only problem I'm having is when making my salt water, at 1.024 the alk is suppose measure 7.3-7.7 dKh but coming out at 14.55 dKh using Hanna and Salifert test kits. Other than that I'm good. Just stumped.
