LOL!!!! Yeah....
On the point, I notice that some (rare few) Nautilus bases can be problematic, but you'll know them when you feel them. They're not all exactly the same, and the problem ones have a bit of a "hitch" when screwing in or out. Believe it or not, I'm actually using one of those daily. It's the one that stuck the first time, but now I know to watch the base when turning it.
The two other (Nauti) tanks I used in them are flawless. All others too (which are just Kabuki & Cerotanks).
I probably should swap the base on that one "hitchy" one, but it's been four months now, so....
(y'all do realize that my very next post will be to report an "Ooops!", don't you?).
