So I had some time today and wanted to clean up my messy sump and clean up the area around my tank. <br /><br />Before Picture: Messy Sump! - Notice the ballast are right next to the sump! BAD IDEA- time to move<br /><a href="http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/?action=view¤t=Messy.jpg" class="postlink"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/th_Messy.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br />Happy Ballast:<br /><a href="http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/?action=view¤t=Ballast.jpg" class="postlink"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/th_Ballast.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br />My first task of the day was drill a hole in the side of the stand to let the tube run through.<br /><br /><a href="http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/?action=view¤t=DrillHole.jpg" class="postlink"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/th_DrillHole.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br />After that was completed I needed a way to keep the line out of my way and since I am not big on buying things if I don't have to I just looked around the house until I found a "Picture Hanging" kit. I figured that surely this would work for my needs. As you can see they bend very easily so I was able to bang one into a snug fit with the airline tubing<br /><br />"Picture Hanger"<br /><a href="http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/?action=view¤t=HangTheTube.jpg" class="postlink"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/th_HangTheTube.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br />Installed<br /><a href="http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/?action=view¤t=HangingTubing.jpg" class="postlink"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a218/BobDaMann/th_HangingTubing.jpg" alt="Image" /></a><br /><br />
