The Fun Dip come with the kit?

Let me know how good that Ecotech glue is, I've been disappointed with the glue I had been using.

It is explicit in the instruction, in order to get a clean hole, must consume fun dip all at once. Totally worked. Will certainly let you know about the Ecotech, wanted to play around with some rock rubble and frag plugs.

Congrats on a clean drill!!!!

Nice Build Nate! Maybe next time on the Ghost. Sorry the 16" model was not ready to be released yet. So you installed the overflow on the side panel? Peninsula style?

Not a worry, I'm hoping to get this thing wet by the end of the month so it definitely has had an impact on several hardware choices just in the name of sticking to the timeline!

I did wind up doing the peninsula style, one because that back bracing would have forced my water line almost a quarter down the tank, and the end of the tank I installed the overflow on wasn't going to have much view access anyway. Will certainly create some interesting issues for flow across 8 feet, but I think I should have enough pump options to figure it out!

Tomorrow is the end of the month... You didn't drown in your tank did you???

Not yet, but I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind burying me in it as of now! I should be getting the finished stand by Friday, which is a bummer since I'll miss the Halloween deadline, but hoping to possibly move the tank inside weekend after next!

Excellent Nate! I was wondering where you were on this.

 

[schooleyosis]

That's good Nate. Don't put yourself on a timeline in this hobby or you'll regret rushing. Let us know when you're ready to move the beast indoors!

Man I only wish everyone would understand this one thing. I get it everyday with people in a rush. My motto has always been "only thing that happens fast in reefing are bad things"

 

[Volitans67]

Sorry for slacking on posting, been traveling a bit and had 2 colds in as many weeks. (Opens door for bubble boy jokes...)

Stand and canopy are here and done! Hoping to move the beast this weekend and start plumbing!

 

[11f150]

That looks good!

 

[schooleyosis]

I like it.

 

[NeveSSL]

Wow, man! That stand looks great!
