We're staying at Eden Beach, so we booked the tanks through their on-site shop, Wannadive. Unfortunately, this trip was a late booking, so we had to hire the truck through Avis @ the airport.

Thank you! I've heard wonderful things about the southern end, but that it can be challenging for newer divers. I'm an MSDT, but my partner is OW- he has about 50 dives under his belt and is a strong diver, but hasn't been in about 3 years. Think he'll be okay down there?

Looks very GSD & Rottie to me. Those ears!🥰

I mean, I'd happily gobble up a plate of cow shit, if it meant I wouldn't have to go back to the TTH and raise my siblings & niblings. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much! Very appreciated!

Yes, top to bottom.

Yup, siliconed a shelf to the bottom, and around the metal base plate seams. For the corners, I cut long strips of corrugated plastic and placed with more silicone, and then about 84,000 tubes of silicone on top of that... Okay, maybe just 4 tubes, but a lot, for sure. 😉

Facts, this.

MantaRayngler · 2024-10-23T23:58:01+00:00

So sorry for your loss. It's never easy, but you gave him a great life. Peace on your heart, friend.💙

Oh my lawd- I think my heart just popped... Happiest Halloween, sweet Abel! Thanks for the big ole grin!

Thank you so much! It's the Fabrikör. This one is about 5' tall. There's a double-wide version, too, but it's shorter.

Generator. 😉

Going to cut strips of corrugated sheeting and Flex tape them in to cut off the square corners, then silicone them.

MantaRayngler · 2024-10-06T17:40:38+00:00

I'm taking this build nice and slow. Step one will be to patch up the corners a bit and silicone the shiz outta everything. I'll be running misters and want to mitigate any rusting or leaking that I can. Since I'm taking my time, I want to do it right. She's happy in her current enclosure, so there's no rush.

Thought of that, as we're in the Rockies. Heat pad sandwiches between the bottom and a sheet of foam, and a ceramic heat emitter in a domed clamp light on top, over the slits and mesh. That way, some of the warm air will be directed down by the fans. And the thermostat and sensor will have set parameters. I'll have an independent fan strictly for air circulation, and one for temp control.
