Get some rest, Flower! Tommorow is a new day...hopefully your beautiful new sump/fuge will arrive. Don't worry about the post, I know you typed it and meant to post it. I'm just happy to know that you recieved everything intact.
Rest well!
Good Morning Corey,
Now that I feel functional again (I actually slept) I realized I didn’t leave the post in draft…rather it was a work in progress that got shoved to the back of the to do list…It’s a tradition for friends and family to speak at the funeral, some old friends couldn’t be there, they have 12 children and now live in Florida. So they sent e-mails for me to read in their behalf. I was working on my post when they contacted me…everything went out the window from that point. I am so, so sorry to be posting this so late.
I had written it almost..and then saved it under sump poem, which is why I couldn’t find it at first. When you read the following you will see why it was saved and not finished. Although I am deeply ashamed I did not at least acknowledge the package right away. I love the Gizmo and the hoses are so much bigger than it looked in the picture…I’m just amazed at the craftsmanship, this is so well made and I see how much sweet effort you put into it…I felt you should get more than a mere thank you. So the following is what I intended to post and do so now….
It’s here! Corey’s Fantastic Gizmo has arrived! He even painted the block he attached to it so it would sit right on the tank, so it looks awesome. Man this thing is heavy duty and well made, and he even added some heavy duty zip ties. He thought of everything he could.
Okay I see the clamps and the piece of hose, what do I use it on? I don’t see what it attaches to..Please explain. (which you already did)
LOL…he thought of everything, he even put some towels in there, I guess for in the event there are any water leaks at install..But what’s the pillow case for? …LOL Just Joking, I know you used it all for packing,.
I’m so happy…I got inspired to write a poem.
My Good Cyber Friends
Nitrates were everywhere giving me fright, water changes each day and into the night. But when you have friends who love saltwater fish, the worries turned into a sump/refugium wish.
Shawn got together all the smart ones online and decided to make me something divine. While Meowzer hunted down the perfect skimmer for me, Al&Burke started measures as swift as can be making sure it can fit in the cabinet you see.
Then others jumped in with opinions and thoughts. Post counts kept rising as help just poured in. To thank them all proper, where could I begin? Monsinour, U Mike, Posiden, Spanko and Gemmy. Even Beaslebob showed up 13 pages later…with all of that help, oh what could be greater?
To my amazement Corey stepped in, He created a gizmo and blocked it all in…… to sit on the tank perfect …an award he should win. He did all the plumbing and put it together, he made it so well it will last forever.
Desertdawg and 1snapple had questions to ask, and they got their answers we raised to the task.
Shawn with your cold, skinned knuckles a plenty, made the sump/refugium with help from so many. My friend posted pictures so all could see…the beautiful sump/fuge he created for me.
These folks didn’t know me, it’s all cyber space…
I wish they could see this big grin on my face. I wrote you this poem, I want you to know…I will always cherish your friendship, my hearts all aglow. What a shame it belongs in the cabinet below.
The end
Now be nice, it was written by a crazy lady who hadn't slept in three days.
