So I was informed by the Mario brothers press secretary that they no longer do plumbing so they can focus on their professional gocart career :mad: so I hope my piping doesn't leak. Anyway here it is all doped up and clamped.

Just gotta wait a couple hours for it to cure to I can do a water test. Also should I glue stand pipes?

Umm so I did
I was like why would you go from a Herbie to a durso? Then saw your pics.

I wish I could have found a brand new 120g for about $500. Everyone around me wanted $700 or so and I couldn't justify it. So I spent $200 and had a guy buff out all the scratches in the front glass. Sides are still kind of beat up but I'll compromise

I paid $730 for my new 180 , they wanted $350 for the 120 but it’s to small for me. It took for ever to find that deal tho.

Dude, invest in a couple brute trash cans, 1/2" flex hose and a maxi jet 1200. Save ur back! Let the pump carry the water up there!

I have what I need coming from BRS to fill the tank from my RO/DI system. More just making sure the bulkheads don't leak and being able to say the tank is wet

I had a hard time believing, the man building this amazing tank, was filling her up with 5g buckets! Killer thread

Thanks glad you're enjoying it

I did end up filling the overflow with water to check the bulkhead seals. No leaks overnight. And to check level, it's level front to back and left to right

Well after all that I only got about 100 gallons out of my RO/DI system before the DI resin got nuked. Ordered the specrtapure max cap di cartridge to see if I get better performance until I can get my system set up properly
