Posts like that are so cruel. I took it hook, line and skimmer.

Tony hurry up. Your evil twin grows impatient.

I guess technically the next step is I have to come back into the country. I'm currently in South America on a work trip! (Hola from Buenos Aires. Isn't it grand to waste international bandwidth on surfing one's favourite reef discussion forum??) Anyhow, it's, ah, slowed me down a little at the moment.

But I guess as far as recent progress goes, the last couple of weeks have been a question of moving livestock out of my 75g into my 110g cube so I can shut the 75g down. Why not just finish the 280g and move them into there straight from the 75g you may ask? .. I'm not sure. I guess mostly because I want the 75g out of the way so I can do the electrical for the 280g. And also to help defray the costs some more of recent purchases. Kinda disappointed that I see hardware I was hoping to use one day, listed for sale at great prices, and completely unable to buy them because I'm flat out broke. But also just in that I get to a point where all I can see is "obstacle" (in this case, the 75g) and maybe a more creative person could find a way to workaround said obstacle, I just become obsessed with removing the obstacle, .. which tends to cost me time. What's weird is I'm noticing the same pattern in my work as well, so it's clearly a bit of a mental thing.

Same here...and I'm close by. I'm broke two so maybe we can both have a laugh and a reasonably-priced beverage over that.

Uh, thanks..

What I really need help with is babysitting!! The last few people who came to get stuff from me can attest to what a gong show my house is with two boys. (Only 2, but can feel like 12.)

In a couple weeks time I'll need help with the sump, I'll be sure to bug you guys then. Thanks!!
