Christy here are some close ups of the screen. It is a store bought reptile lid.

Hmm I wonder if they make them in 6'x2'

I think I might check out Buckerfields tomorrow see what they have. Thanks for the close ups

Maybe, some reptiles get really big right

I have to say I'm impressed at how fast you noticed the close ups. I felt bad yesterday that I ran out of time to post pic.'s. Installing a couple of GFIC's takes longer then you'd think, and all I did was hold the flashlight

LOL it always takes longer than you think. My husband changed out a touchy GFCI the other night and it took forever. Mind you the hockey game was on and he could see the TV through the tank

That's awesome, I'm just going to hold the flashlight and point it at my non-code-compliant sink and watch it fix itself! No wonder my build is taking so long, I've been doing it all wrong!

(Or do I need me one of these "husband" things first? ... That sounds like a pretty handy tool to have as well!)

(Oh I know I'm not funny. It doesn't stop me from trying though...)

I can see how that would indeed slow things down

Well if you're not funny then why are my co-workers looking at me funny for laughing my head off at the computer. I also re-read your post to them (so they'd understand why I was laughing so hard) and they thought it was funny too

Also just so you know one of those "husband/boyfriend" things do come in very handy, I highly recommend them.

So after our power bar on the reef tank got wet and Steve got a small shock from it (all the fish, corals etc. are fine) we added some GFCI's to all the fish tank outlets.



Now that everything is hooked back up and the lights have their legs back on, and the egg create is gone, I thought I'd share pic.'s.
