well i was try to learn how to post pics with a caption by it but i dont know how .. well it been long and hard but worth it i could not even tell you how much time i have in this set up besides A LOT...

pluming looks awsome but only one flaw .. its soooo tight against the tank i cant remove it to test in the tub i did put in a union but its so i can remove the pump easyer ..lol lol owell i dont plan on ever taking it down....

went to get r/o water the place had frozzen pipes yesterday too come back later but its ok im still wating for a shipment from foster & smith hope it comes today and ........... i can get this sucker wet !!!!!!!!!!!!

well here are the pics..

Sorry to hear about the rock Hummer, but I think the biggest problem here is that JoJo has been testing water to much and the poo has gone to his head, LOL, I am sure JoJo can fix the rock if there is away, JoJo will find it for you, of course Big Dakar will never let JoJo live this one down, LOL

Bob

It could be epoxied but after what we are going thru with ups I'm not sure I would want to risk shipping it.

you can say that again jojo.. every time i order some thing now im sooo worryed is going to come all broken ew... bad dreams


so what do you all think of it (tank lay out be honest) ?????????????????

Well if you really want the truth, then I have to tell you that I really think it looks great. Expecially for a first tank.

Looks great, I see even I all the pictures you were very careful with the PVC primer, see no primer or glue passed the joints in any of your pictures, very good. Just keep taking your time, it's when you push yourself or get in a hurry that is when all **** will break loose, things will just not go together or you will make a wrong measurement.

Bob

thanks jojo

w7afm you are right also when your tired too...lol
about the glue and primrer ..i used the clear primer and when i was putting the pipe totether i wiped off the extra glue and i did take my time mesuard twice cut once .....well most of the time ... hehe

Hummer, that is really a top notch job. it really shows when someone puts heart and thought into a project and this really shows through. your going to have a fantastic reef that is for sure. it has been a pleasure to follow along this thread.
