I think I'm in the wrong line of work. Tattoo artist? Need an apprentice? I can't draw though. Is that going to be a problem?

Errr, I mean .. I can't wait to see the pictures. Hurry home.

Tattooing is my passion Tony, but not how I made the majority of my money. There's an old thread in the lounge somewhere where I touch it a little....buying and selling homes and properties wisely as well as a successful buisness that was owned by the other half (who recently sold it to his nephew) is where it all started...

I can't wait to see your pictures. Is there alot of time involved with maintaining a pool tank? I thought my small tank was alot of work

[Rbacchiega]

not as much as you'd imagine. If you set everything up right it can be really easy. I have a large ro/di unit that puts out roughly 100gpd and collects in two big bins with constant water movement. One bin then goes to the salt mixing bin and the other bin of ro water goes straight into the gar pond when I need to.

Which reminds me.

The way the filters are set up for both tanks I just turn some ball valves and it trains out towards the back of the quanset where no body needs to worry about it but the coyotes.

On the shark tank I do water changes every 2nd week. All three of the sharks are up around 2ft long now, which is close to full size, but being that they are the only things in the tank there isn't a whole helluva lot of bio load believe it or not.

The gar tank is merely topped up when I feel it's getting low (hahaha SO LAZY). Because the pond is constantly draining from the bottom the dirtiest water is being dealt with right away.


I can't guarantee that my half-assed approach to things would work for others though...I seem to be lucky in that way LOL
