MikeTR Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Lies. Pics required. Delirium set in yet? You just wait till your wife wakes you up at 530 to help pull a log out your kids' butt after you pulled the late shift. That wasn't in the manual btw. Link to comment
Marc.The.Shark Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Oh, they wont be logs for a while. Try runny, messy, smelly all the way up the back to her neck from laying on it! Now thats a good time! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I actually don't need but a couple hours of sleep anyway, so I'm actually pretty golden, shitty hospital chair as a bed and all Link to comment

Now thats a good time! yes..good indicator that the 240 diapers you just bought are the wrong size. They didn't make the extra fabric on the onsies around the neck so you could make it easier to get over their head, although it does.. it's for going the other direction. Link to comment
Marc.The.Shark Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Exactly! Welcome to your life until solid foods Ben! Muhahaha Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Will the AI Prime be okay in such a humid area? Is it above the plastic shield or did you take that off? Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Will the AI Prime be okay in such a humid area? Is it above the plastic shield or did you take that off? It's inside the glass shield. I've already verified that without the stock fans running it goes into thermal shutoff.. whoops Link to comment
metrokat Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 How many tangs can you cram in there Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 How many tangs can you cram in there I'm gonna shoot for 3-4.. a vlamingi, a unicorn, and an orange shoulder. I think I'll put one of those 2" blue hippos in there and then rehome him later. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Well I was all set to add the clowns to the tank this weekend but maybe I should wait until after I get the live rock in next week and scaped.. let any mini cycle occur, and then add. Link to comment

MikeTR Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Here's some pics of how I mounted the Prime. Basically just used an angle brace and some of the hardware that came with the arm mount. Drilled 2 small holes which match the existing vent holes and the screws from the arm mount fit perfectly. Completely stock look. Found this ugly bastard when I turned the room lights on to take the pics. This rock was taken from the sump of my 180g which means he's been chillin for a few months.

MikeTR Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 New rock gets here tomorrow. Interested to see all the hitchhikers and then watch all the macros sprout. Yes I think live rock is sexy. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Delivery exception.. label unreadable. Ay yi yi. Pump upgrades.. what's standard issue? Maxijet 1200s? I'll not be adding additional nem blenders to the tank so flow will all be from these 2 pumps. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 So what's the diff here.. other than the cobalt is newer and costs twice as much. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/maxi-jet-powerhead-1200.html http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/cobalt-mj1200-powerhead.html Well nevermind.. cheap Chinese vibrating piece of junk vs quality. Guess I'll buck up. Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 My understanding is the original MaxiJets were made in Italy under the Marineland label. Then Marineland moved manufacturing to China. Then Cobalt started manufacturing MaxiJet pumps in Italy under their label. From what I hear the Marineland Chinese MaxiJets are loud and sucky. Go with the Cobalts. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Found em on sale at Drs F&S for 34.80 and used 15% off code. Win. Link to comment
Mirya Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Score! FYI I've found Amazon has the best prices by a lot on Cobalt Neo-Therms if you find yourself in need of a heater. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The only thing I like about the Marineland Maxi-jets is that they can be converted to a powerheads mode with a large propellor and move ludicrous amounts of water. I have one that is in my sump keeping gunk suspended and doubles as a mixing pump. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Well fortunately it's a dismal day in paradise. Box o rocks arrived this morning and can't skip out of work until noon. Link to comment
