Just a shameless plug! :)

 

Hopefully the second bead of silicone will do the trick.

 

once i saw you replied to this thread i thought you where gonna reply "poo is in the box" or something similar.

 

 

Meh, if it works it works.... I'm not really worried.

 

gonna head over to bed bath & beyond tomorrow to see if they have a "stand" i wanna set this tank up tomorrow

Wife is sick :-( so I can't play cod mw2.

 

So I decided to remove the bottom rim on the 5.5g. Man was that easy. Maybe a little too easy.

 

So I'm gonna do a FW test. Hopefully everything goes nicely.

i want a free orca pico too! haha

 

yea.. it's pretty cool. it's totally gonna rock out with it's filter sock out.

 

 

 

 

oh btw. finished setting up the 5.5g aio. Doing a 24 hr fw test (mainly to see what kinda evap im gonna have with a tight fitting lid (it has a few holes drilled into it (some for gas exchange in the display part & 1 1.5" hole for cords & such) but evap is still evap. Gotta figure out a way to mount my petco bottle. OR diy up a battery powered ato.

 

 

once the fw test is complete, i'll do a massive 90% W/C with salt water, throw in a 5 lb bag of sand

and a small piece of rock from my 40b to start a cycle.

 

hoorah!

Looks good man I really like the 2 return flares.

im not talking about the whiskey im talking about the 2 returns

 

dude your 15, you cant have anyway! :-P

 

 

j/k

 

if you want dual returns, just buy a Y loc-line & another nozzle.

 

 

Hey deli, if you want jack. you got it. Just have to come to ny.... BUT wait. you have my address anyway.

 

 

So i've been checking the temp of the tank every so often. It's bouncing between 75.5 & 76.2*

 

to me thats pretty solid.
