Nice peninsula rock scaping!

So my mp40 was making a considerable amount of noise so I found a fix for it. Took it apart and found that one of the bearing was faulty. One $7 bearing later and its dead silent. If your pump is under warranty I would not do this but mine was an original gen 1 so this method was better than buying a new $220 dry side and was much quicker.

Found the procedure for fixing it here

The set up look great! Looks like you're still running LEDs... is it the fixture from the old tank or a new one altogether?

Still using the old beast. Its about 8in too short but with the rockscape I'm not too worried about that. Next portion of the project is building at least the structure to the hood so i can hang the light up. Hopefully at the end of the month when I get paid I can get the rest of the stand and canopy going.

Wonderful looking tank!

Well I had to move. Tank made the move just fine. Here are some progress shots of the stand and canopy.







Just finished getting the canopy painted and the base painted. Just gotta wait til payday to pick up the rest of the wood to do the doors for the stand. Also spent a good amount of time scraping the built up algae of the glass tonight.

Beautiful Chazde!! You've done a wonderful job and you should be so proud of yourself. Heck, I'm proud of you lol.

Got an idea for ya~I see light peeking out via your canopy doors~some small strips of black felt would be a nice fix. Whaddya think?
