lol.. thanks Gary.

I haven't had the finances to work on it this week. I just started my new position, it was supposed to start last week, so instead of taking home 57 hours of pay, I only took home 14. eek. next wee will be a better week and I will head over to the plastic shop and get the acrylic and weldon. from there, it should go quickly.

On a sad note, my nano is no more. I had a friend taking care of it at my desk while I was out last week (i didn't switch companies, I now hold 2 positions within the same organization, so I have 2 desks) anyhow, because I am only in the other desk 2 nights a week the hot bunked someone with me, and I think that person sloshed some water out of the cube. With a good heart, they replaced it completely with top off water. You know the rest, salinity spiked, 2 sexy shrimp dead, 1 dwarf zebra crab dead, 1 blue leg dead, rhodactus dead, 1 purple shroom dead, 1 lr with zoos on it, in triage tank hopefully to recover (polyps were starting to extend after 12 hours). It was a sad day yesterday.

sooo... I am going to be doing the new 8x8" cube, which works out to 2.5 gallons or so... the skimmer will go on that, but for now, the imediacy to get it done is over. nothing left to skim.
