250 Build (New Fish/rockwork- with pictures!)

Looks great Tom! yes, sorry about the overhang. Can't wait to see this bad boy up and running with some beautiful fish!

 

Update: I found a way to get water in it in a relatively efficient manner. Since I did have a drain anywhere near the tank I ran a hose outside and used a hammer as a counter weight to let gravity do its thing. Quite a ways to go as far as water and I broke Alex's PVC cutter in the process.....

Lesson of the day- PVC primers stain carpet a deep purple color.... this does not make the wife happy

 

lol
What a hoodlem

 

oops, what color is the carpet?

 

Deep purple! At least in one area anyways...

 

And its permanently wet from his overflow flooding. Ask him about the time he got shocked standing on electrified carpet.

 

Haha, it is now! Under the rug I just bought my wife anyways.... It was an offwhite color of sorts. Maybe tope?

 

Ya, that was a big issue. Until I got someone to come over and stick his hand in my tank while i unplugged things one by one. That was a pretty hot shock

 

Got most of the plumbing done today- just waiting for the rest of the water to drain so i can re-silicone the overflow. Then its water until she's full!

 

You must have now learned to do your PVC gluing over a concrete floor now, huh
