had 3 little glass bridges made to install my Tunze pumps so they will have sufficient water on top of them to function good.

tank builder also finally delivered the black acrylic side to cover the overflow side in the tank.

and used some left over egg crate to cover the overflow to avoid fishes draining in it.

ok so will be leaving tomorrow afternoon to Sydney for another 4 month money haul on top of the largest reef of the world sailing right on top of it. Or just around it I guess as actually sailing on top of it would be prohibited right?
Will stay in touch with you guys during that period though naturally.

claim is that the stand is not 100% level and does not carry the entire weight of the tank equal?

This is what I thought when I saw the concrete stand being built while reding the thread. Sucks man sorry to see that set back.. still reading threw the thread.
