Getting back in it

[SteveO83]

Its been about 5 years since I had to sell the 210. So I finally talked the wife into letting me start a small 40g breeder. Bought the tank back in December. Started the stand and have been slowly buying componenets that are needed. This is a budget build with equipment.
Equipment list soo far is:
40b from petco dollar per gallon
20g high from petco dollar per gallon
Dm-165+
Jabeo rw-4
Glass-holes overflow and return
Sca-301 skimmer
Lifeguard aquatics quiet one 2200
Purewaterclub 5 stage 50gpd ro/di
Refractometer(cant remember brand)
Tds meter off of amazon

There was an issue with my overflow hole position as was posted. I drilled the hole too low. Completely my fault. Glass-holes made ans sent me a new overflow box free of charge. Awesome way to do business

Testing after drilling return and drain holes. First time drilling glass in a tank.....

And of course the stand. Didnt have the skills or tools so I made a single door on the front.

Looks like things are coming together nicely. Great job with the stand! Welcome back to the hobby.
