That is a good thing...good to see you around.
BTW took your advice, slowly getting tank ready for my son to setup.

Final decided on the return pump...Fed ex visited today.

Spent a few hours the last couple of days and buffed out the sump and added the baffles. Due to the inner panel of the tank having a bow, the baffles didn't come out as nice as I would of liked, but should be functional. Will leak test it tomorrow. Had to use Weldon 16 for sure.

Wait isn't that the 180g you were going to use as your display

Oh ok. Nice baffle work.

This weekend I'm looking to pick up the foam board to place under the (acrylic) DT and sump. Can anyone recommend a brand and thickness. Was thinking of 1/2". Hope to get HD or Lowes to cut if for me too.

Thanks...

Compliments to JohnS...thank you!

Sump baffels done and sump inplace...

Just ordered the Reliance panel for backup power.

I found some L14-30 power chords on Ebay. Is 40 ft too long to run power from a generator to the panel? I have a choice between a 25ft and 40ft, just concerned the longer one might be too long for running power.

As long as you're under 50' you should be fine.

Thanks or the quick reply Jim. Hope you are feeling better...I will go 40ft then.

 

[redfishbluefish]

Agree with Jim....the cord is rated for the 30 amps...and that is what your generator is putting out. I run my 30 amp plug with an adaptor and a 10 gauge, 100 foot extension cord....no problems.

Stand completed and delivered. Doors will be placed after everything is installed. Thanks to Rob...who might still be floating around from 5 coats of lacquer.
