I hope everyone doesn't think all us Illinois folk are like those Granite City boys. Some of us will be putting more salt than sugar in our tanks.

Who's this guy??? Where did he come from???.............OH wait I know who this is!!! It's the girly-Foo-Foo-Gas-Grill wannabe :eek2: :lol2:

P.S. Hey thanks again for the drill bit you gave me! Rich1972 wanted to have a drilled tank, so I drilled it for him............Hummmm you did forget to tell me 1 small detail though. tank+drill bit+water in tank= :eek2:

 

[Grace's Dad]

Interesting 3-way. Lonnie lays some pipe while you drill some holes, what's Rich's job? I'm sure it involves a big van with tinted windows.

Here are udates of progress with pics.

Lonnie starting the new track lighting for the fish room that Rich1972 complained was to dark.

My two labors hard @ work.

The finished product. ( Sorry Lonnie's a ham for the camara )

And then we hooked up the lights for the fuge-in-sump. These are 6500k. Lights on pic

Lights off pic.

Lonnie again did most of the work. But he twisted my arm and made me nail in the fixture.

Lonnie, look at that plan of yours. Their is 4 holes on the back of the tank NOT 3!!

I know there is 4 holes I was more worried about the overflow, and return lines. I didn't want to confused adding to much into the picture. :lol:

I come up with the Ideas and Lonnie asks me if I'm retarded, and tells me that will never work! Then he explains why, and of course then it makes since

Now this sounds 100% right. WWLD

Got some good news... Glasscages just called me and the tank will be here Sunday at 1pm.. 2 weeks early.... Anyone want to help get it to the stand, after we pick it up?

 

[Letmegrow]

I really like the sump lights.

I know Stupid did not come up with that.

Is it wired to a on/off switch ?

 

[capncapo]

Sure ..... I can use the money!

 

[Grace's Dad]

I might be able to help as long as I don't have to bend over around you guys.
I'll have to remember to lift with my legs, not my back.
