    How would you distribute the load on the roof? The pol would be a single concentration of load in one spot unless you spread it out. Not to mention your load would likely be on the edges of the canopy, although that depends on how you plant to mount and orientate the tent.

    It’s made to have a roof rack, so it has 4 holes drilled into a thicker fiberglass section across the roof. So idea would be some sort of foot at the bolt holes and cross bars. Need to keep height as low as possible there

    My concern is the shell sides bowing out, not sure if that is the right thing to be worried about though

    Ignore the cloudy water; that's just the bacteria population having gone full bloom after last nights ammonia and bacteria introduction

    This morning ammonia was at 0ppm meaning the bacteria ate it all; dosed it in ammonia again this morning to bring it up to 2ppm

    20240404_103944.jpg

    Nitrites at 0ppm, but should steadily rise in the next day or two as ammonia drops

    20240404_104147.jpg

    And nitrates I shouldn't expect to see until another week (more or less)

    Not at all, but I could've bought one with what I've put into all the new tools, tank, and plants :rofl:

    Post was meant in jest; aquariums aren't cheap but it's just the initial upfront cost that gets ya

    Maintaining is cheap for freshwater; can't imagine the cost for long term maintenance is for saltwater

    Definitely safe to assume my neighbor's moving out, he didn't even put out his garbage bins this morning so I pulled them out.

    Wonder what's changed since he had mentioned wanting to buy the house later in the future.

    I found this one from TrueDrive for under $400; does this not include everything like the RockAuto one?

    I’d just get the joints changed and be done with it. Ujoints are super common and any shop should be able to knock them out without a fuss.

    Lol that website is a disaster, the part cross reference is all wrong to the point that that CS reps don't even know what it fits. And the reviews are an aggregate of every shaft and part they sell not that one in particular. Might as well get a $250 ebay cheapo if you aren't gonna buy from a real brand.

    What website did he even reference?

    He's pretty good at pulling up Alibaba results that I can't even mimic.
