Cabinet drilled and return pump connected. Happy with the dry fitting too. Slow progress is still progress 😀 #therealdrill #reeftank

Waterbox Cube 20 drilled and (almost) ready for plumbing. I need to drill the stand for the return pipe first and probably need to replace the levelling mat. #reeftank #therealdrill

practice tank drill done and successful. a few lessons learned, including that I am an idiot. #fishtank #reeftank

@kev thanks mate. yeah that's not a bad idea.

@travisshears very nice.

@kev you feeling flushed with excess memory on that new build and looking for a way to consume it unnecessarily??? 😆 (old prejudice, have not used KDE sin 10y+)

@travisshears have you tried scrapy? I use it for several tools and I find it great. https://scrapy.org/

@r3pek yeah well you guessed it. The tank is crowded. I only do a water change when necessary, ie: nitrates get close to 80ppm, and that happens on average every 3 weeks. I prefer doing a larger water change less often and it seems that the fish can take it 💪

@verzulli oh yeah definitely head about it. I have an obsession with monitoring and I expect to cross that bridge when the hobby gets easier.

I've started looking into reef-pi. you familiar with it ?

@kev not found on the warm welcome

@koreymoffett xautolock to trigger i3lock

@kev wait till they get worms .....

@kev all talk and no trousers 😆

@kev @hejowhat I might try to convince the kids to make a necklace with #PerfectValentinesDayGift 😂

@kev AFAIK you're nowhere near nasty enough in emails to be as "cool" as him ...

@stimzim I'm not sure tbh. They'll probably go in a box in the attic. My cyber paranoia just forbids me to throw them away 😀

@hejowhat yes that's a good idea. I'm just wondering if aluminum heat conductivity might not be ideal for hot drinks ...

Platters galore
