Well heard back from Miracles today and they spoke with their builder and great news! They say I can remove the side panels by undoing the screws from the inside of the stand. I am going to try it tomorrow when I get some help over here. Hopefully I will have it in the house tomorrow night! Thanks!

Glad to hear that Rev, I hope it works out for ya!

Any updates?

 

[Troylee]

It's prolly fully stocked thats why he hasn't updated...:xd:

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

LOL! Funny you ask because my brow is still sweaty from getting it in the house and getting the side panels and doors on. So far it looks as good as it did when it arrived and YAY it is finally in!!!

 

[Troylee]

Are you kicking yourself now for staring at it for a week wondering what to do??? Could have had that bad boy cycled....:xd:

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

LOL! Well as tight as the wood was I could have swore it was glued and screwed. Another thing was it only took about 8 screws for each panel to get them off.

Also the inhabitants I have now will go straight into the tank with LR, water and all. No cycle just like I did with all my previous tanks. :D

Ok gang got some questions. How would you plumb this tank?

I want the plumbing to be simple and I was thinking of using some spa flex type tubing instead of PVC. The sump is made to where to drains that were tubing would fit just perfect. Here is a pic of the sump. Notice where the drains will go on the left. Also does anybody know what that first piece is for? The two on the right will be for the drains but not sure on the one far left.

It's a smaller diameter, so maybe for your ATO?

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

HAHA that may very well be what it is used for! If not it is now! LOL! Thanks!

Man that is so nice looking. I like the light hanger. Where are you having that made. I also like the choice in lighting. I run the same setup

 

[swissgaurd]

The teeth in the overflow will come out for cleaning.
