Thank you so much this has been so hard for me and while not pretty it will be good for me.

Severe depression is what caused my issue along with facing the fact that my neurological condition will not get any better but we are all born with the ability to survive and overcome anything brought our way.
I never really asked for the present but wow was I surprised so I want to make the best of it and document every process as I go and maybe some of my decisions made on this build will help someone else.

@Katrina71 after meeting you and your son I was so happy to the the enthusiasm that you guys had in learning this wonderful hobby. I am needing some sand and trying to figure out who has some. I have 2 brand new bags of this but I think that 4 more will be ideal

Nice! I have that same ADJ PC-100 power center and I love it. Running it almost two years and works solid.

That is what I did bu I think that my dad went a little overboard when I told him a few bags and he came back with 160lbs of sand lol.

Mounting it was my dad's job as me and the saw didn't get along to well

Following! I enjoyed following along your previous shallow build, this should be fun too. Props to your dad for his help and power tool skill and his excitement/going overboard with bags of sand ;-)

This is looking awesome! Ours is coming together. No tank yet. It's coming. We ran into a couple of snags, but nothing we can't overcome. Hopefully I'll get to start trimming the stand this week!

He is the most amazing father and has taken a true love to watching these tanks grow and mature

What size is the stand because my old sump might be perfect for you guys.

We have a sump. Thank you for thinking of us though!

That’s great... You are lucky to be able to share that with him!

How are you liking the Maxspect Jump12k? I am thinking about getting this for my 225g but haven't seen any reviews yet as its so new to the market. Love the color scheme and look of the pump.

Katrina71 · Feb 9, 2020

I'm anxious to see both of our tanks!

Katrina71 · Feb 9, 2020

I'm learning. I'm way behind your skill level, but plugging away.

Okay, I love this pump so far as it has help the power solid and is quiet. The cords are very long which is nice on a big tank and the pump has a 1.5in output so its easy to screw on a 1.5 pvc adapter and hard plumb.
Time will tell but so far so good.
