That beast is bad to the bone!!

Thanks. So far in the garage test, the waterfall sound is kinda loud. I personally don't mind it. It's weird..but when I don't hear something in the middle of the night I freak out when it comes to the tanks. Like the power went out or something.

Been busy with family stuff.

Got the tank in place, water in, sand in, and picked up some local LR to get the cycle rolling. Still have to get the canopy and wood surround done.

would you do it all over again or has it been a headache so far. just guessing youd do it over as you seem to have it completely under control
