    Jay's IM20 Peninsula Build

    Well I went away April 4th and returned April 13th. April 4th the Diamond decided to jump through the screen top, how I don't know. He was bigger than the holes! Either way he cooked himself in a short time until he was seen that morning. I had set everything up and did a normal 5G change...

    McCosker trouble
