Dude, you sure like your Tangs

-R

I think that's an understatement. I still want a vlamingi, unicorn, maybe some yellows or purples, dussemier, maybe a powder blue, definitely an Achilles and Sohal. You think I over did it? Oh yea and a yellow belly regal.

Thanks jcoll. For me its a wish list. Some fish are not easy to get, some are expensive or a combination of both.

Well I went to Grangier this morning and ordered these Roller Track Sets for Bypassing Doors with max weight of 150 lbs. http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/2895/=j5cbmjYea its overkill but I'll feel safer about whats hanging over my tank. I went to an industrial storage company that sells the brackets to make shelves. The are long L brackets with holes pre-drilled through out. I got five 8 ft. pieces and had one of them cut in half. I will have pictures of everything in a couple days to give you an idea of what I am doing.

Light Fixture Plans

Light Fixture Plans

Here is a mock up of the lighting fixture.

The supervisor checking it out.

These are the bolts/screws I will use for holding and hanging the fixture.

This is where the rack is going to hang. Thanks for the previous owner or builder for making my job easier as I don't have to measure since everything is centered.

The original ceiling fan will be replaced with a newer fan that'll be closer to the ceiling. Also my electric will come out the ceiling for the lights and tank.

On a sad note I went to Grainger to pick up the door hanging system and it was basically bent up from the way they shipped the package. So I have to wait until Monday to pick it up.

On a good note my pumps finally here.

The difference between the regular hybrid and the gold hybrid is the motor uses less wattage and they have a 5 year warranty compared to the 3 year warranty on the regular pump. Sent from my iPhone using Siri and Tapatalk.
