Built the tank screen lid, now we can have out wrasse and other jumpers i haven't put into my 90g because of that.

And now for the RO water waiting game, i hate this game. Other than that i think i've got everything covered, electrical and plumbing done and that was pretty much all that was left.just a couple odds and ends now, i really wish i had an ro booster pump.

Alright, tested it again, no more leak, everything seems to be alright atm.

I have some wood panelling thats going to go up there, just haven't got to it yet.

well, one small leak on one of the returns where the pipe meets the bulkhead, just like i feared, i pulls the top return pipe out and i'm going down from the top and putting glue into the bulkhead to try and seal around the pipe, its the only way i can think of doing it at this point with...

Almost, i think next week will be the move if all goes well, assuming nothing leaks when i test it shortly.

all plumbed in, i'll be testing it's water holding ability later tonight.

I think i'll do a test on the return today, thats the only one i feel shaky about where the bulkhead and the pipes meet, a bit looser than i'd like.

I have an rw-8 laying around but i'm down in winslow township nj, works fine, i upgraded to apex powerheads, don't need it anymore. used for about 6 months.

how long do i have to give the cement before i can run water through it? just curious, probably won't happen for another few days.

We'll see, i won't be gluing them up so i can do that if need be.

Just a small update, water is going in, getting the piping and electrical done today. Should be full and starting to run by next week.

Tank is up, i didn't wait for help, lol, i managed to get the thing on the stand, test filling it with the hose now.

aaaand now there's a hole in the wall, wife only had a mild panic attack. Nice clean cut if i do say so myself.

Just look into the fish you're getting, i had to pull every single rock out of my tank because of the dotty back just to catch him, he even killed a cleaner shrimp that went on his side. when half a 90g tank is bare on one side it just doesn't look right, lol.

To clarify a bit more, the stand is just sitting there more for show right now, i'll be pulling it away from the wall again tomorrow, cutting out the wall and mounting everything, and it will be a clearer picture of what it's going to look like.

I haven't cut out the wall yet, when I do, the 2x4s will also be coming out and I have some wood to lay down onto to bottom studs that will make the front of the stand and the tank will but up to the sheet rock, if that makes sense. the stand was built 3.5 inches shorter than the tank, front to...

Framed out the wall and make the cuts, all thats left is to cut the drywall, and run the electric, getting very close at this point. As soon as i cut the hole in the wall the tank can go up on the stand.

I agree a hippo in that tank is a bad idea, so is the dottyback, at least in my experience. I had a purple one, and he was the only fish on one side in half the 90g tank, the chromis, firefish, wrasse, any fish in my tank would not go on his side, accept the tang.

Lol, I tried getting an hour trip approved through my wife and that didn't end well. I don't get much free time so sometimes it's hard to justify a trip when it takes away from family time. I worked 750 hours of overtime last year, not counting my second job. at a 7.5 hour workday which is what...
