Jgraz's Custom 15"x15"x12" SPS Nano

No go for Joann fabrics. They have a material similar but its more like foam than rubber. The drum sound dampening pads might work though. Ill have to check to see if i still have the extra set for my drums. ill check when i get home from work for ya.

Thanks Austyn, let me know, but i think im gonna swing by a sports store and check out the excercise mats also.

Dont know if you have already found the mat you are looking for but,

I found this at work and i think it will work for what you need. Let me know. Anti fatigue mat. dense but forgiving.

Thanks Austyn. Though I did end up with the Pilates mat.

A little update.
Got the holes drilled, back painted and overflow/return installed.

Working on the plumbing now. More pics soon

Nice. Can you now do a 60 X 30 tank? Maybe with external overflows this time?

Those wouldn't happen to be the dimensions your looking for? It was all I could do to get this done.

Positives:
We have water. Got the plumbing done and got it going. I think all will be tight. Tomorrow, barring and life altering ending circumstances, I'll be adding rock and a bit of sand. And I'll also add the light.

Negatives:
While cleaning my MP10 the wet side broke. The propeller broke away from the magnet and the tabs on the little cover that hold the prop assembly in also broke. I'm in the process of finding a replacement but in the meantime I'm hoping a little glue will bring everything back together.

Hey Chris there's your next tank builder. Looks great John.

Heehee. Lol. Ok John I'm going to price glass. 8foot by 8. 6 feet deep. No big deal.

Well big update today. I picked up my rocks today. I think it's about 8lbs or so.
Also fixed, temporarily my mp-10. Gotta get a new propeller assembly. Installed the AI Nano. The pics below are blues and royals at 40%. White will be at 25% when they are on. I may lower those to start acclimation. I am gonna bring these up slowly over time. Also got the system running. Here are the pics.

Thanks for looking.

Looks great John, I like the flat/slab pieces. Any fish going in here?

looks amazing john! the tank looks professionally made!

Thanks guys. I though making my own sump was satisfying, but building this tank has truly been a rewarding experience. Hopefully it keeps up.

My original intention for fish was a pair of snowflake clowns. I have now added black ice clowns to the list, so I'm not sure what to get. After seeing the Pygmy wrasses that have been making there rounds on the site the last few I figured one of those would be awesome but there will be no top here so they are out. I'm probably just gonna stick with a clown pair.
