jedimasterben Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My grandparents had a little 28" deck snapper mower, they got it new when I was like, uh, 4 or 5. I vaguely remember riding on it then. They bought a new mower a couple of years ago, and they gave me the snapper. Up until that point, the only thing that ever went wrong with it was that the tires needed to be replaced, which was ultra cheap. Literally a few weeks after I got, it quit wanting to run. It was a pull-start, and I'd need to pull it a dozen times or more to get it finally crank up, and even then it would shut off after a couple of minutes. I've been mowing with it for many years now (since I was like 12 or so), so I know how to treat it with care, but it just wouldn't do anything for me. Sad to see it go, but I'm going to donate it to one of the schools I work for, their 8th grade ag class has been taking apart mowers and rebuilding them and making them work like new, so I figure they'll get a new toy to play with before they go home for the summer Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Carbuerator maybe? I couldn't point one of those out if it had a neon sign pointing to it. Link to comment
markalot Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I like flow almost as much as I like acros lol My 40B is running a MP40 on 100% reefcrest mode, and I have been considering getting a mp10 (or another 40) for the other side A year ago I would have thought this insane ... now I'm wondering if that would be enough.

Chris! Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A year ago I would have thought this insane ... now I'm wondering if that would be enough. IMO its not, eventually I will add something else to stir up the back section of the tank. I'm sure I could change my scape and center the MP40 more and it would work for the average person but I would still probably want more. Link to comment
Chadf Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 any updates chad? maybe a video update or is that pushing it? Nothing to update, just lots of diatoms. Going to a frag swap on Sunday though Link to comment
Chris! Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 So did you get anything at the swap?? Link to comment
Chadf Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 So did you get anything at the swap?? I didn't end up going, had too much stuff I needed to get done. Still enjoying just the two fish and pink and golds from lawn. Link to comment
Chadf Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 The diatoms are a lot better, almost done with them I think. I'll probably get a frogspawn and another fish in the next couple weeks. I need to get a ricordea pack soon too. Link to comment

Chadf Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I checked my salt yesterday for the first time since the initial fill, dead nuts. That's with doing 25% weekly water changes without checking the level of my new water. Link to comment

Chadf Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I need to peroxide my rocks and get rid of this hair algae. Normally I'd take a different approach but I have basically nothing to kill. Link to comment

So you're saying that there is something that you don't know inside and out?? Completely serious question, lol. Please don't take that the wrong way, it's actually a compliment . Link to comment

Peroxide or turbo snails. GTFO!!! I'm calling BS!! So you're saying that there is something that you don't know inside and out?? Completely serious question, lol. Please don't take that the wrong way, it's actually a compliment . While I know the name of a few parts here and there and what they do, I have no clue where they are, what they look like, how they'd attach, or anything like that lol Link to comment
