Yes, but woth a different name. I asked my Mom about Bela, she wants to go, but I got a call at 1:30 last night one of my friends fish tanks opened up. It's a 150 in a carpeted den. ~10 galloons of water had leaked by the time I got there. Most his fish are currently in my 50 gal container 0n wheels. A few are in smaller buckets but everything is attached to the filter. He bought the tank used two years ago and it had been dry two years. I told him it should be resealed but it didn't leak and he was anxious to get going. If he was just a customer I usually get $75 for an off hours emergency visit plus $40/ hour and supplies. With friends I let them give me what they want. After giving me $100 for the almost 4 hours I spent there I mentioned I'd be too tired to see Bela tonight so he's also covering my tickets. All and all I'd have rather had a good nights sleep and be going to the show but at least I get to see Nomo pitch tonight. I'm still trying to find someone that wants to see Bela that I trust w/ my credit card. Also, I gotta try to locate a new tank for him and help set it up tonight. Although the fish could stay as thet are for a few days. I must looked like a nut throwing piles of PVC into a suitcase but I didn't know what I'd need to attach all the containers to the filter. It's also tricky not having time to let the PVC glue dry. On preasurized lines (Reutrn line from the filter) the glue needs 24 hours. Since the exhaust lines work by gravity they only need about a 1/2 hour. I had to use a lot of soft tubing and hose clamps. I still have itemize the parts I used. I'll probably wait till a rip it down. How was your night birthday boy?
