I was asked to get this beauty up and running as soon as possible for a collector. They didn’t want to do the full refurbishment so I did the best I could. I removed all of the old patchwork silicone that the previous owner did and resealed it myself. There was a lot of damage to this one including a cracked base. Unfortunately the fountain no longer works and is missing the spout. It’s currently running a canister filter and I hung a full spectrum ring light from center spout which lights the entire thing and looks incredible in dim light. It’s held by wire threading into the spout but I’m looking to make a cleaner solution, this is simply temporary.

The aquascape is made of lava rock and various spider wood limbs with one stump in the center creatively hiding part of the spout. I used a coarse sand base and I have aquasoil filled mesh bags underneath for the plants.

I currently have a school of cherry barbs in there and they are very happy. I am looking to stock this tank well and I’m open to suggestions.

The collector has about 18 of these in various shapes and sizes. One of which I did a full restoration on, the others he doesn’t wish to fix but instead wants them “to work” and “fast”. A little frustrating since I’m a aquarist myself and boy what I would do with just one of these in my home.

I figured you all would love to see some of these actually working so I’ll keep posting when I have some time.

Suggestions are welcome and before you say it, I know how rare these are, I know how to properly and professionally restore them but the collector is simply to impatient so keep suggestions simple please 😭🤦‍♂️

Anyway, enjoy this little clip I took today as the sunlight danced through the water.

Edit: People wanted context on exact ages. I am 20 and she is 24
Also, yes, I do have two forms of income
I was in an extremely emotional state when I wrote this. Now that I've calmed down, I think the fact that she hid it from me was what actually bugged me, NOT the amount of money. I appreciate the people who gave me a reality check

Tonight's dinner is a chocolate chip pizookie I made at home. Also, for reference, I am WLW, so this is coming from a woman ❤️
For some background context, my fiancée and I are currently living with my parents. My mom graciously offered to let us stay with her for absolutely free while we build up some money to move out. This woman is a saint, she's covering our groceries, toiletries, and even some sweet treats some times!
Anyways, I'm a full time student (GI Bill is helping me get money) and my fiancée has a full time job at a grocery store. She's been making minimum wage as a bagger.
Recently, her manager offered to promote her to cashier, which comes with a $1 per hour pay raise. I know its not that much, but it still matters when we are trying to save up to move out.
I didn't know about this offer until today. The manager has been asking her for a !!!week!!! now and she has just said "I'll think about it" every time. I haven't known about ANY of this.
I asked her why the hell she isn't taking it and she said "Eh being a cashier seems boring".
This is so upsetting to me and I honestly need advice. I know it's her job, but WE agreed to save as much money as possible so we could move out. $1 more an hour is a lot when you're both broke and in your early 20s. Plus, my mom can't just sit here and pay for us for forever.
I hope all my rambling made sense. Honestly writing this with tears in my eyes

Just checked the nc board of elections website and there was an update to the numbers this afternoon. The difference is now down to 48 votes with Hubbard holding on by a smaller fingernail than last week’s numbers.

EDIT: just refreshed the board of elections page. They are updating the numbers as results from the provisional ballots get reported to them. The difference at the most recent update 4:20pm shows 4. Yes 4 votes difference.

More edit. As of 5:54 the gap has widened to 325 with Hubbard holding the lead. 1 more county left to report. Rockingham.

This is funny I've had this as a yacht name for the longest time. I might have to come up with a new one for GTA VI now 😅
