Lookin' good. Get it done before summer so we can work on mine next

cyberwollf · « **Reply #27 on:** February 15, 2010, 17:48:49 »

i think i have the may meeting so its ganna be done before that.

I hard part is actually setting up a temporary tank for all my current fish and drilling the tank. Whenever I get myself to accomplish that, the rest will be pretty quick, especially now that drilling through a wall is not involved

And you have the temp tank already, don't you?

Ok Got the baffles redone in the sump, Silicone was much more messy than I wanted but its done. In hindsight Im thinking i might add another peice of glass right before the pump and run a piece of spong in there just to be sure to macro makes it to the pump

Water enters on the right and pumped out on the left

Nice Job Wes.

Looks good man. Give needlepoint mesh a try. I've been using it to keep my macro in place and it works will without clogging up.

I got my sump made tonight also, I'll post pics tonight.

PREPARE FOR THE RETURN OF DR. SKIMMER!

cyberwollf · « **Reply #39 on:** February 16, 2010, 19:18:56 »

I went ahead and added the extra baffel. The silicone says 24 hours to full cure. Looks like water will be in it tomorrow night.

Ok after some carbon drama, I got the sump contents moved over from the temp tank to the sump, Now I got to clean the temp tank and move all my livestock over to it (which i am dreading) So I can get my 75 Drilled and raise my stand.
