Scott checking out the Plumbing coming out of the sump
Scott inside the tank placing the back panels for marking . The overflow teeth had to be marked on the panels for cutting. Once the panels are in place the overflow would have been blocked unless the teeth were copied onto the back panels
Barrett dropping in a pump to pump out the freshwater that was used to test the tank
Scott inside the tank holding the panels in place while Barrett marks the overflow

When you post pictures from Photobucket, all you do is double or triple click on the IMG tag line under your picture. It will say "copied" in a tiny window.
Then move to your post editor over here, and click paste. You don't need to add IMG tags at all, as Photobucket pastes them on automatically.
Always hit Enter a couple of times after a picture or your text so that the images line up properly on the left.
Once you've got your post typed up, click Preview to see if the post is displaying properly with all of your images.
Hope that helps; thanks for sharing.

Thanks Marc that will help ...I have not posted pictures on RC before and it shows. I have been there through all the blood and sweat since the tank was delivered to the campus and plan on being there to the end and beyond. The pictures do not convey how awesome this set up is but it does show the dedication to the sucess of it . I will try again in a little while to do better at the picture posting.

Barrett feeling a little silly after chasing down a construction worker to get a pencil and shortening it to short to reach through the overflow bafflles to mark the placement of the teeth to be cut in the acrylic backers

One of the acrylic backers ready for the rocks to be attached..the rocks were preselected and numbered with zip ties so we knew where to place the rocks
They actually let me help drill the holes and attach the rocks
View of a panel with rocks attached

Barrett grinding off the acrylic rods that protruded to the back of the backer to make the backer smooth so it would fit snug against the back of the tank when installed
Barrett routing out the backs of the backers for the zip ties . The backers were routed in order for the zip ties to be imbedded for the backer to fit snug against the back of the tank.
Scott showing us how to use the router to grind off the acrylic rods that protrude through the backs of the backers

Today was the day we added the rest of the rock and sand and actually got water in the tank... That was a total of 800 pounds of rock and 500 pounds of sand.
Barrett building a PVC rack to go in the far back right corner . The rack will hold liverock and provide a hiding space for the fish .I am not sure how he measures with a BROKEN ruler...
Keaton and Mary Lynne ( club members) inside the tank doing the aquascaping
Steve ( another club member) and Keaton placing the PVC rack in the tank. It had to be disassembled and reassembled inside the tank.
