sorry but I cant sleep anymore since I have a new hobby, haha:eek2: :eek1:
I let all the kids and wife goes to sleep so I have my peace and quiet where work can be done, 3hrs of sleep is plenty for me. I think alex deserves an upgrade since his 72gal is running out of space and with no traffic lights in his tank the fish will eventually run into each other, maybe like 300gal

Holy Carp Batman, that is some freaakin' unbelievable plumbing!
thanks, it took me couple days to figure everything out on paper before any work was performed, wish I had a 3D program to generate all the plumbing schematics. if I had add up all the days since tank made it here probably took me about 2 weeks since I had break in between on some days where I was up till 4 am..

well, what I found was that the learning curve for CAD programs is fairly steep and it was taking way more time than just drawing it out. I ended up tossing the CAD stuff just to save time.
yeah read on some of these program before putting my project together and took me longer to learn program then to get pencil and letterhead and start from there.

I use Microsoft Visio it is pretty easy. I know that google sketch looks pretty cool. I just havent had the time for it niether. Photoshop is a good idea, I have been meaning top play more with it. Hummmm.
Melv I like your movies. Movie maker is a great little program. I love the simplicity of it.
After seeing your setup and going through all the threads. I am going to go with the hayward bulkheads. I am excited on seeing how you do your lights? I am sure they are going to be top notch like the rest of your system.
