Paul isn't setting up a tank. He is baiting us - like the guy with the Tank of Almost Certain Electrical Death from RC did.

Oh yeah, that knucklehead. Buh wait... Where is this "skinny little lizard" located? I need to take him out. He's the only one who stands between me and total supremacy. Sho nuff!

This will come as a shock to some of you. My tank is not up and running yet. :: Actually, it's on hold for awhile. It looks like we're moving by next spring. We really love this house, but the public schools are pretty bad and there aren't many kids in the area for ours to play with. Most of the people out here have grown kids and they, themselves are on the brink of retirement. I'm really going to miss this house and especially the ocean, which is only a few hundred feet away.

So we're looking for a smaller, less expensive place with great public schools. My wife would like to be closer to work, so we're looking at homes from Reading to as far north as North Andover and as far west as Groton.

Thanks bro. Though I don't look forward to house hunting. It was daunting last time around.

How many times do I have to help move this tank

 

[paulthomas]

How many times do I have to help move this tank

Five times. You must help a minimum of five times. Keep an eye on the Bat Phone.

 

[paulthomas]

Oh. And an ear... keep an ear on it too.

Man, I thought I was pretty good at procrastinating, but 25 months, 40 pages of posts and 6 miles of elect. wiring takes the cake... :: What ever happened to "Keeping it Simple".
I wonder if that thing has blown up yet...

That's it. We're gonna start looking in the Southboro area so that I can really annoy you. What street are you on?

I have never really checked that build before. It's infamous though. I guess I need to peruse it one of these days for inspiration.

As far as my build goes, I am bummed about having spent ~ $2500 on electrical, plumbing and bracing. I can always take some of that stuff with me, I suppose.

Oh man Paul,
Good luck with the hunting and move....
But gezzze this could seriously be the driest install in history

LOL. Thanks for the well wishes and for pointing that out, Marc.

We talked about staying here for a few more years. But there's no point in that. Plus I don't want to have to move everything once set-up. I did mention to my wife that the best way to avoid losses is to have a new tank cycling in the new place ASAP. She didn't like where I was going with that.

On the bright side, in my basement, I got me a pile of the finest dry rock around!

What did you drop them in that nearby ocean?

 

[Blueflu1]

OMG Paul. So does this mean that your going to start a new build thread when you get in the new house which will continue on for years? lol

Move out my way. Then I can put a spark under your ***
