Well, after working all the way up to the game and then all the way up to the UFC event and working all morning till now I now have the plumbing all done (execpt for the OM 4 way). I have all the lights mounted and installed, wiring run, bulbs in and all. (have to pick up my other ballast but am wired up to it).
Closed loop pump is mounted and plumbed.
Return is plumbed and mounted.
All plumbing (except for the closed loop waiting on OM 4 way) is glued and curing.
I have to say that after 24 10' tubes of PVC, 25' of spa flex, 18 true union ball valves, about a million small ends and fittings and two really big holes in my wall, this is no small job.
I really enjoyed doing all the work but am glad it is almost finished. I will be letting everything cure for the next 2 weeks while I am doing the whole turkey day thing and then going on vacation. After I return I am going to put my sand and rock in and fill the bad boy up.
I considered putting some regular hose water in it before I left just to make sure there are not leaks but I think I will do that after I return. For those of you who haven't yet seen my tank and stand....
Well I am off to phishys to pick up the sand and give him some more money. I am going to actually spend part of the day with my family instead of the tank... i know i know they were suprised too.
