I'm working on having fish in it by Friday, but if I fall behind I will let you know for Sunday evening. Thanks Jim.

It's here:

It's facing the wrong way.... JK, congrats sunny. Looks like a great start. Can't wait to see it up and running.

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks. Me too. Had to set it like that so I can work on the plumbing on the back for the sump drains and return. No internal overflow and can't do HOB because of the euro brace. I think I like it because there's less hardware inside the tank, just strainers and nozzles.

[barrettsline]

Sounds good bro. Can't wait to see H2O in it.

[SunnyHouTX]

Ready to be flipped around to install the bulkheads for the canisters and start leak test.

[barrettsline]

Looks nice bro! Look better with water, rocks, and fish! You gonna use driftwood as well?

[aquabee]

Yayuh! Can't wait!! Bust out the chrome hair dryer!

[eklikewhoa]

Looking promising!

Nice work with the plumbing, was there not a way turn the drain elbows sideways to minimize the loop?

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks guys.

Yup, picked up another large piece of wood from ADG that matches the other one.

You know it!

The hoses are pretty long for now, will be getting regular length hoses asap.

[SunnyHouTX]

Forget about flex hose. Cut clear PVC tubing to length:

Much nicer look!

[barrettsline]

Come on!! Fill it!! JK, clocks ticking on your wanted time frame. Gonna be up and going tomorrow?

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks guys. I'm behind by a day as things stand right now (was gonna have fish in tonight). If everything goes well that should happen tomorrow night.

[barrettsline]

Sounds great.
