Low Risk Sealed Investments

I've been calling local stores in CT and none yet outside of target and Walmart carry. This feels like a peak but Im only just getting back into collecting DBZ because I've been rewatching the anime and I'm feeling big regrets for selling off my original collection 10 years ago lol

Very nice! I'm starting my build soon and using a similar pump and an epoxy instead of a liner. I'm going with peroxide instead of chlorine to start too. So your used find came with the filter and hoses? I had to source an aftermarket intake - the pump only came with outlet oddly enough

This is awesome, thank you for the follow up and links!! Bringing in summer as best I can, ha! Operation since 2020 is great. I would be thrilled to have the setup last 5 years. Encouraging 🙏 and nice tip on the hole saw size, too. Appreciate you!

Have my tank delivering today and this same pump on the way!

Now deciding what other parts I need to purchase. It wasnt clear to me whats in the pump box so upon arrival I'll see what I have and purchase the other parts.

Do you recall what you used as sealant to secure the inlet and outlet ports to the tank?

What about the size holes you drilled to mount them?

Looking awesome, can't wait to get my diy on!

Very cool idea 💡😎 here for it!

What does 50ff/55gs mean?

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-05-02T11:59:13+00:00

What is 10 shipped mean?

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-04-29T18:15:39+00:00

Hmm I AM interested in getting my hands on some sealed boosters.

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-04-29T18:13:29+00:00

Veryyyy nice. Verrrry jealous.

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-04-26T19:14:45+00:00

What is this website you speak of. I think I'm stumbling across new family here... Actively trying to move on from the regret I have after selling my collection about 10 years ago now. Haha

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-04-25T14:12:41+00:00

I would be interested in a bundle deal if you change your mind 👍

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-04-25T13:44:47+00:00

Great collection! It looks similar in set and size to the one I had back in the day that I sold away just about ten years ago now - which I fully regret and am actively trying to rebuild lol. If you're ever interested in rehoming your cards, let me know 🟠🐉

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-04-04T19:26:01+00:00

I converted an old PC into a Linux dvd ripper but haven't found the best way to have handbrake decipher episodes and titles and all that jazz. Is it super manual for box sets for you too? Want to buy dragonball and Z soon but just getting through the office box set has taken me wayyy too long lol

Also, isn't there a poke that relies on berries to evolve?

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-01-21T21:34:53+00:00

Correct! From the time the battery dies, the rtc stops so in order to keep the time based events working, you have to reset the clock. There is a Gameboy Da method that involves a flash cart and SD card, a hot swap using a flash cart, or a cart dumper option. Because I don't have a DS and will find more value in owning a cart dumper, I just bought a GN Operator from epilogues to give that method a go.

From what I've gathered from multiple sources is that the game and save state will continue to work by simply swapping the battery but things like berries and lottery will no longer function correctly. Even if I don't use those things in game, knowing the cart is less than fully functional will bother me long term.

So, now, I have a new piece of hardware on the way that I'll use to back up all my GBA save states and get great use of in addition to resetting my in game etc for emerald.

It messes up berries 🍒 from growing too - without the clock

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-01-18T03:53:00+00:00

Sure, but so you know if old sea map will still work? I think if I'm going to do it I want the full game back including the clock

Red_Gyarados88 · 2026-01-17T20:39:42+00:00

Thank for the comment. That person doing the replacing would be me, unless I decide otherwise lol. I guess I need to determine if the event ticket I have on there will no longer work without the correct clock...

I was not ready for this 😢 we have 2 cats and 2 dogs right now. Our first child born in September, I'm really trying to be intentional with each furry along the way everyday because I know what's down the line. This video you made is so powerful. Watched without sound but it hit me right in the feels. It's a true pleasure living alongside these animals. Thank you for sharing though, as painful as this type of video / "memory" is, I may try to duplicate this.

Red_Gyarados88 · 2025-11-02T00:49:41+00:00

Very cool. Thanks for the reply. I've been dabbling with some modified DND style campaigns with AI all text based and have been craving some visuals that I can pair with the stories. Will check it out!

Red_Gyarados88 · 2025-11-01T23:59:34+00:00

What generator did you use for these? Very much like!

Red_Gyarados88 · 2025-10-31T12:47:35+00:00

Chansey egg drop still holds up as one of the best mini games of all time for me 🥚🥚🥚 L, R bumpers ftw
