calvin415 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm in DC at the moment, coming home on Saturday... I hope to get to work on the sumps and a canopy when I return along with drilling the tank and installing the plumbing. Unfortunately, I'm out of money, so I still have more lighting, to buy along with 150-200lbs of LR and Sand. I'll try to post pics at things happen. Thanks for everyone's patience!

lakshwadeep Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 +1 for cardinalfish. I forgot about them, but I have one of the pictures from CP Farm as a wallpaper, and they have a huge school of cardinalfish: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...fari%26rls%3Den Quote Link to comment
PBUEHH Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 great build! I think the ff would be wicked, but a harem of flasher wrasses sound better. My mom could have used you when she needed her cabinets and banister done, she wasn't happy with that guy. cant wait for the weekend to see what happened! Quote Link to comment
Lalani Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Still waiting..... Quote Link to comment
calvin415 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Dang guys, I said I wouldn't be home until today... I've already painted the stand with exterior paint to protect it from any drips and hope to get started on the sumps on Monday morning. Depending on how much energy I have I might get started on drilling the tank tonight, and painting the cabinet doors. Quote Link to comment
nanoty Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Depending on how much energy I have I might get started on drilling the tank tonight, and painting the cabinet doors. Take pills and drink redbulls...HURRY!! Quote Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Take pills and drink redbulls...HURRY!! won't taking pills and drinking red bull kinda cancel each other out? i guess it depends on the pills, huh? Quote Link to comment
nanoty Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 won't taking pills and drinking red bull kinda cancel each other out? i guess it depends on the pills, huh? Damn straight, took some pills my buddy gave me (got from his mom who is a nurse) and I could've built a house during lunch time. Hijack over. Quote Link to comment

You now have me wishing I'd thought of using exterior wood finisher on the stand for my new tank instead of generic furniture polish. Quote Link to comment
Sergeant-G Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Take pills and drink redbulls...HURRY!! won't taking pills and drinking red bull kinda cancel each other out? i guess it depends on the pills, huh? As long as the pills arent Viagra then you would be like an epileptic jackrabbit Quote Link to comment

calvin415 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well it took me a lot longer to drill the tank than I expected but it's done! All 12 holes are finally drilled. 9 (5 drains 4 returns) in the tank for the closed loop, and 3 in the overflow (2 drains 1 return). Because the stand was already built up before the leveling hiccup, the top is rather thick... LOL! 1/2" OSB on bottom, 1/2" drywall, spray foam to level the tank, 3/4" oak ply, 1/2" foam, 1/2" acrylic. Again, each hole took a while... Quote Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 LOL! Well at least it came together for you! I like it. Now... MOAR WATER! Quote Link to comment
Sexy Shrimp Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 That's thick!!! Glad you are concentrating on the tank now Quote Link to comment
