First mod ( :
If there's one thing I learned during my time away, it is that metal is pretty. Partly for that reason, and partly because I don't have anything else to do, I stripped my Iwaki:
 I could have polished it up brighter than chrome but I used up all my 1000 grit sandpaper on my exhaust pipes. Modification Pros, - kept me from pacing for a couple hours - looks like it means business - way better than 'Iwaki teal' - a 'first' ? Cons, - probably killed any resale value it had - uh, did I just remove all the rust protectant finish on my saltwater pump ( : - having to explain why This one isn't going to be locked in the cabinet, but will sit beside the tank on the stand. Because of that (and some mother's polish) I am confident that I can keep it from rusting up on me. - Chad

Very cool. Glad to have you back. Always thought it was a huge shame that you sold off your earlier nano tank, since it was one of the nicest ones out there (as proven by it's many imitators

Chris,
Do you mean that it doesn't even work if you click on the link? Oh, that sucks... I thought Picasa was going to work out so much better than that. I will transfer them over to Photobucket now - you gotta see the pump. The 'bike photos at the top came through right? - Chad
