very nice setup! quick question how would you get to the backside of your tank? is there a door i dont see?

 

[LegoZ81]

no different than a tank up against the wall :) all equipment is downstairs. the stain glass is removable and I have access from the sides. I will be able to unlock the windows behind and get in behind the tank that way.

WOW! That's a nice way to light up the room.

Frames and "Stained" glass are almost done. I need to grout the last 2 tomorrow night and then get them installed Tuesday. I should be able to do a final sand on the wall tomorrow as well, then start to paint.

 

[LegoZ81]

one panel grouted. i broke the backing piece on the other one... yeah... I glued it back together and may be ok once it is grouted. I just have to be REALLY careful when framing it. after that I should be fine. but dang!

So tonight after polishing the grout residue from the good piece and framing it I will have 2 done.

No work was done to the wall last night unfortunately :(

 

[LegoZ81]

all three panels complete!

Is your pH really at 7.21, or is that just measuring the effluent from your reactor?

 

[LegoZ81]

I think I have a ground loop from the pc connection. I may have to bite the bullet and get a ground isolator to fix it.
