Third time better be the charm

[Stang67]

The tank is on the stand......I repeat.....the tank is on the stand. Now for the leak test and tomorrow plumbing.

 

[Stang67]

Drilled the additional holes in the floor. Cut some pvc and have a plan to finish tomorrow with plumping and lights. Then Monday sand, scape and water. Tuesday transfer everyone back to their new home.

 

[Stang67]

Well lights are done and plumbing 98% done tomorrow is all me again so no distractions. I can focus on gluing the plumbing, water, sand and scape. And groceries I need groceries.

That is looking really nice. Can’t wait to see the scape

I find that when I'm in a live sale thread I miss a lot of notifications. I have to go back through 5 or 6 pages looking for unread notifications after most live sales.

Today's update. Plumbing is done and we have no leaks in the return line. It's late and I have been at this all day again so tomorrow will be making sure the drain lines don't leak, sand, scape and maybe if things go well we will have the gang in their new home. Pray for my drain lines not to leak please.

That is something else!

Thanks I am trying so hard to make it work out. It's been a long time coming.

 

[Stang67]

Houston we have a problem.

 

[Stang67]

Crisis averted. For all of you hanging on the edge of your seats waiting to watch me have an epic meltdown it's not gonna happen.
Pro tip: gaskets go between glass and plastic.
In other news one leaky union and the emergency drain needs a bit of silicone. So off to fix that now.

 

[Stang67]

Done is better then perfect.

The scape is in, but not the way I planned. Forgot to rinse the sand so I have milk at the moment. No leaks. Lights need programmed. Thursday pm will be the final scaping then Friday pm transfer of fish and coral back to this tank.
Thinking it needs a name. Was thinking Eleanor would be a good name.

Filter socks and skimmer will clean that up in a day or 2.

I'm going to love to see that tank stocked.
I guess I need to go back and catch up on what fish you are planning.
