metageologist Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I hated working night I used to have to do the switch when I drilled overnights at JFK. Of course it was fun being able to call the control tower at midnight and say shut it down we are starting work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Where does everyone get their lids for tops? I'm wanting to cover all my tanks. Was going to cut glass but really want hinged ones. So much easier, will help keep humidity to a crawl and top offs down. I thought two tanks were leaking and turns out it was splashing on another tank and running down in between. It leaked pretty good after all night, I filled in my garage and found no leaks. So something to be aware of when building racks. It only really happens when a smaller tank is next to larger tank it seems. The tops and turning down the air stopped the problem. So yea I'll need to buy a few lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
