Just picked up a nice Acrylic 36", 3-chamber Sump to possibly convert to SW...it was full of bioballs, eggcrate, etc. When I was loading it onto my truck I stepped around to the other side to clear some stuff and it FELL onto the street. Smashed the corner, cracked in a few places, bio balls rolling everywhere down hill, hundreds of them all over the place.

Every now and then some big hand comes out of the sky and just Slaps Me into reality.

Sigh...

:(

So sorry to hear that :( . Did you pick up that 92 corner?

Mine seem to go in longer cycles like weeks or months :p
Like this week some crazy virus infiltrated my 2 yr old son and put us in the ER for 20 hrs, then I got it and it took me out for 3 days. All during a huge milestone week at work that I almost died trying to complete. Felt like that huge hand had me pinned to the floor for 5 days :eek: ;)

Wish I had a camera, it was quite a site...after the intial AGGhhhh.... I just quietly went about my way picking them all up with all the cars driving by looking at me. Just another day in the neighborhood.

I did laugh at myself...an NO I'm not gonna do a "little blue balls" joke...

Did you pick up that 92 corner? - ;)

Sorry to hear Mike,

I have a sump filled with bioballs that was used on a 300 gallon with a 1500 GPH little giant. You can have for free if you want it my friend... or trade for lights?.

It was stupidity...I was trying to put it into the cab as to not scratch it in the back of the truck...ended up scratching it all right...
