Indian Summer is finally here.
I did not work on the car today, but I give you instead, Legendary rust, Live!
It was 101F on the patio, but I could no longer ignore this rust. I knew that one small quake might be the end of my patio aquarium. I had a new stand (kit) delivered from Petco, by DoorDash in a Prius.
It was on sale too, so $98 plus $25 for the Prius owner.
Really, I did this just in time. It was so far gone that I didn’t need a wrench to take this apart. Bare handed, I ripped the connections asunder.
OK, it practically fell apart . . . It was so bad. ;(
Still it took from 9am to 6 pm to set up a temporary tank on the concrete, move fish, & drain everything.
Then I had to clean the tank & gravel, disassemble the old stand, build the new stand (assembling it around the plumbing which all goes through it) drill holes, add the braces, level it all, refill it, and put my fish back.
