That's a great read (the thread above). I also printed out that durso thing...I'm pretty much convinced I'll mess it up - but at least it'll still be cheaper than $200 for 2 aga megaflow kits. $200 is a lot of pvc and glue no?

Thanks Phil and Tony. :)

Phil, there's no way you can mess up that Durso thingy. If I was able to pull it off as a complete and utter newbie, it'll be a breeze for ya. ;) I had literally printed out directions on how to build it and taken it to Lowe's with me so that I could find each and every piece I needed. They had an awesome sales assistant who helped me every step of the way.

lol thanks - i went to lowes and the 1.25" PVC (per the thread) is actually a little bit limited in stock compared with 1.5" pvc. Alrighty - maybe I'll try a HD instead. thanks!

btw - I wish my tank will be that beautiful in a year. Looking great!

Ja, I'm feeling a bit like an oxi-moron right now because I had previously said how EEEAAASY it was to put that thing together. Then you ask me a super easy question and I stall. :-[ :-[ Tell you what, I'm sure glad I had saved that link in my favorites, because when the time comes to build more, I'm gonna print that page out again and take it to Lowe's with me. Did that a year ago, too. :-X

Phil, you're tank's gonna be dynamite. I'm sure of it. :)

I've been hunting for a tank thread since I got home from your place tonight Wendy. This was the closest I could find. LOL

If any tank was screaming to have a thread about it its this one. I second Ralph's request, tell us your secrets!

An unbelievable accomplishment in just a years time! Something to be very proud of.

As for the smoking "failure". NONSENSE!! Hang in there. After all quitting is EASY!!!! ( I've done it MANY times myself! ::) )

I lost track of how many attempts before finally putting them down for good. Quit for several years at a time, more than once, and gone back again. Give yourself more credit, it's a nasty habit that is just all too easy to fall back into.

In time you will kick it, I'm sure!! The thing is just keep trying. ;) ;D

( about 4 years now smokeless and counting! :D. Doubt I'll ever go back, besides, can't afford it. I gotts a reefin' habit now!!! )

Thanks Joe and Richie. :)

Richie, that was my second attempt to quit smoking. The last time I quit for 4 months, gained 30+ pounds (and haven't lost those either), and started up again. This time I put on 20+ pounds. ::) I'm going to join a gym because I have got to get my weight under control BEFORE I start ....you know... the menopause thingy. :-[

In case you'd like to see how my tank "started off", here's another link:

Wendy - on the quit smoking attempts...I found a great quote for you:

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Thomas Edison.

So go yea forward! (hopefully it's not 10,000 tries though!). ;)

:eek: :eek: :eek: OMG, Tom! That is SO awesome. Best of luck. You can do it. Now if only I can figure out how Faith did it without any help AND lose some weight, then I'd be good to go.
