There is water in it now. Ran into some problems last night so i am trying to get the pump to seal. Thanks to bigmoo and jsleedy who help unload the tank at the shop and bigmoo, verper, pontiac2002gtp,Newman,chefx123,and Udjustin for helping get it in the house. I will post some pics later today if i get time

You have time, just cut back on sleep. Thx for the frag BTW, it is doing very well so far, I don't think it ever really even closed up except maybe when I picked it up to put it in the tank.

slandis3 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 17, 2009, 13:54:13 »

ok here are some pics. Please note the stand still needs to have the oak skins put on it.

slandis3 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 17, 2009, 13:55:29 »

A few more.

Bigmoo · « **Reply #29 on:** March 17, 2009, 14:07:07 »

Speaking of skin... Jeesh, thought this was a family site? Please photo shop those.

Man moo I thought you were a carpenter not a plumber, or were you just trying to get some dollar bills.

Bigmoo · « **Reply #32 on:** March 17, 2009, 22:40:16 »

.... LMAO... Hmmm. Sorry, I know I shouldn't write that but it is what it is, and UDJustin is a smart guy

And I thought I mentioned I am a jack of all trades.

I did find an extra Washington on my way home though, very strange.

There ya go Dave I fixed your pics

Tank looks awesome. Wish I would have had room for that one.

Bigmoo · « **Reply #37 on:** March 18, 2009, 12:18:15 »

LOL. Much better, kinda. Is it coincidence that the guy is green and appears to be holding his breath? I think you may need to stretch that last one to a 16:9 ratio. It is all my wife's fault cause she is always on my butt so it tries to escape whenever possible. Speaking of wife she said she will never attend another meeting cause she can not "bare" to show herself after such embarrassment. I said "yeah it was you with all the shame". More pics please (of the tank).

Very nice. The grey PVC looks really smooth.

slandis3 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 18, 2009, 13:48:54 »

Thanks I like the look of it compaired to the white much better.I am draining the water now and going to start filling with r/o water hopefully tonight.

very nice. i like watching the progression of everything and you certainly work fast

lazylivin · « **Reply #42 on:** March 18, 2009, 20:47:20 »

+1 on the gray PVC, looks very clean and professional

UDflyer00 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 18, 2009, 20:53:03 »

As we're discussing PVC and slandis obviously just did this, what do I need to get to attach PVC to my AGA built-in overflow? Right now I just have a 4' section of flex tubing held on with a medal band to the bulkhead under the tank, but would really rather convert over to PVC, but just unsure how what size and piece I need to start with? Any pointers would be great...

I like the gray pvc as well. I suspect you are going to make your own gray pvc overflow kits to match the gray pvc color under the tank as well? Very nice looking tank!

getting close.

slandis3 · « **Reply #46 on:** March 21, 2009, 23:30:15 »

Well the tank is full and ready to start adding salt tomorrow. I will let the sand cloud clear out over night and take some pics tomorrow. I did find yet another leak around the output on my snapper. Im having one heck of a time trying to get it to seal for some reason

NEWMAN · « **Reply #47 on:** March 21, 2009, 23:48:05 »

Do you put teflon tape or silicone around the fittings?

slandis3 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 21, 2009, 23:49:12 »

tape first then i redid it with silicone

NEWMAN · « **Reply #49 on:** March 21, 2009, 23:58:55 »

Did the silicone fix the leak then?
