Wednesday13’s Fish Room

[wednesday13]

What the...did you seriously just say that in a response to me???

"...pushin 40 now..."....pfffft!

Of course, I do understand, and sympathize. I mean, squeezing under my plywood 360 to remove the pump for servicing was way easier back when I was 60; it's a real PITA now...

I knew thatd get a laugh outta ya… no sympathy needed. The age mention was just as much referring to how stupid i was in my 20’s … no concern of ever not being able to physically fit under there lol and also making the stand too short. Theres just enough room to stick my head in between the sump and stand sideways. Removing socks is a treat with chit right up in ur face

Lol good one. It's all relative I guess. I turn 56 next week and getting tired of hurting myself everytime I try to do something I used to easily do 15 years ago.

First off...

Lookin great. My kind of fish room for sure, youve captured the raw essense of practicality it seems.

That lung is one bad mofo!!! I see little man already eyeing everything up, making plans of his own.

Making me look like a bum with a layer of paint on your lumber stands instead of my signature "natural" finish, fancy as hell man.

Ur too kind Tony … aint nothin fancy round these parts lol… those wood stands are painted because the wood was “reclaimed”. I take anything thats not glued down from wherever i work … 650’s on cinders but the black paint hides that also.

I do enjoy havin a little fish protege now, hes just gettin old enough to be a “helper”. We rebuilt an air pump and drilled a 40 breeder the other day lol.

Lung is def. A fan favorite over here. Fills my need for a monster without too much of a food bill or space requirements. Heres a bit of “scale” on the lung … i need to do a mfk OG pic with a sunken 2 liter bottle one of these days.

Oh heeeelll yeah. Best looking cinder block stand yet, total crowd-pleaser you. Must be one of those "show" tanks im always reading about lol. Look at all them reinforcing rods and weld on 40...hold the tank together sure but maybe also keep that monster from breaking out if it gets any bigger

Drilling tanks already? Man he's got like a 25 year head start on me. At this pace he's gonna eclipse my gallonage with his own fishroom soon. You're gonna pop your head in his room one day and find hes looted your backyard material stash, DIYed a bunch of tanks, and keeping a catfish bigger than him lol
