The only time I had any fail was when the power supply got wet.

Yep, hook and loop. Very small tight hook and loop that holds a lot better than I thought it would.

Like I said I bought mine used, the wood showed very little signs of wear. I used it for a couple years and sold it with the tank and it still looked the same. Only thing I had issues with was it was tough to get some of the small hard green algae spots off with the included pad. I'd use a...

I picked up a great white used off Ebay for $40 a while ago, it was worth it. Would have probably paid up to $100 or so. Super strong.

I belive this is Ozark 5/16"

350lbs of gravel from Manufacturers Mineral in Renton. Was enough to cover a 8’ x 3’ space 3” deep. Sold the tank and the guy didn’t want the gravel. $30 to cover the cost of the brand new buckets or free if you bring your own. Think I spent close to $100 on it originally. In Enumclaw, work in...

He is in a 400 gallon

$100!? What is this 2012? With fuel prices where they are it is closer to $300 to overnight for the shipping box I have. :(

Tinfoils are gone, as is one of the saggitae and the 6" dovii (which ended up being just over 8"). (2) 5" faded dovii - $20 3-4" faded dovii - $10 Several smaller unfaded dovii - $5 C. cutteri - (2) for $20 C. Myrnae male - free A. Saggitae - (1 male 8", 1 female 5" not paired) both for $25 (2)...

Yeah, come grab them!

Close enough

I have a group of three A. saggittae, 2M 1F if you are interested. From the Wetspot in Portland. Largest is probably ~8". Not quite a midas but close.

What press did you go with? Toyed with the idea of one of the Harbor freight ones but for how infrequently I would use it they take up a lot of space.

Good luck. From what I remember when these were bred a decade or so ago it was better to cross EBJD X Normal JD to get a carrier with the EBJD gene and cross that with the offspring of a Pink JD X Normal JD that was a carrier for the pink gene. You end up with ~1/16 EPJD. The EBJD X Pink JD...

I've pressed a bunch of bearings by using a socket that just fits over the bearing and a C-clamp finished with a rubber mallet to get flush. I could have done a better job with that crappy setup than the dealership did!
