Now let's see, that was a day or two between deciding to get a tank and actually having it plumbed and running. Nanook have you considered asking Roy to help you out with your tank plans? He appears to know how to get things done in a timely fashion. You might want to consider bringing in an "expediter" like Roy to get your project back on track.

I got it all swapped and running last night. So less than 24 hours after carrying the tank into the house it's done. That was a chore. I was able to do some things I've been wanting with the rock etc. No more softies other than zo's. No mushrooms yay!!! I don't think my aquascaping is right yet. I'll need to take some pics today when the lights are all on and get some opinions and advise. I have about another 50 lb's of rock from Glenn that I could try to add to the tank if needed, or sump for filtration. I sent him home with some rocks of anthelia, shrooms, zo's and he's coming back for another load today. Anyone looking for some of that I'll have some misc. zo's and shrooms I'll post probably later today. No pm's yet or any lines, non lines, etc. One casualty, not from the move but apparently some other time my ywg is gone. I saw him so seldom I didn't know it. The pistol was there but unless he found a hole in the rock and escaped into the sump while the rock was in there, he's gone. The pistol was on a rock that wasn't moved to the new tank until after I dragged the old tank out of the way and then it went straight to the new one.

Cast. It came from acrylic creations or something like that out in Arizona. I'm not sure what was going on. Maybe from cleaning and chipping corraline in the corner by the seams?? It may be as simple as some weldon but I'll have to clean it and figure it out. But if it was going to do something I couldn't take the chance. Now I have to get on building and skinning a canopy. I have the pfo parallel reflector which did so good on the tests by Sanjay but it's 36". So I guess I need to order another one and combine the two in an overlap or cut with just a little overlap.

Here's a pic of those front seams for anyone interested. This doesn't show up as well as when it had saltwater in it and the lights of the tank really made these stand out. This is just with freshwater sitting on the back patio.
The first two are from the front (looking through the front piece of acrylic and the end of the side pieces. Notice wht looks like scratches or something in the seam.
These are from the sides notice the crystal looking voids or ?? Almost like a glass chipping inside of there.
