Fixed all my pumbing and created a "biotope fuge"

I always try to do things the right way even if its a little more money. Or will DIY to save some money...depends

Unfortunately the first time i did my sump... i didnt know "the right way"

So this afternoon was spent underneath my tank...cutting pvc...breaking like 3 hack saw blades and spashing water all over myself and my house... thats what i get

But i fixed everything.

I spend another good amount of time trying to create a separate fuge today. I was going to mount a 10 gallon tank up on the large shelf that you see in the picture. All was going well until i went to put in the tank and realized the idot who built my stand didnt think that far ahead...

The stand is DIY

So i had to come up with plan B. Plan B is the muscle milk container with the top cut off, and overflow created with my pocket knife and the screen from the closest window. Its being fed with water from before the skimmer from a mj 600 i had layin around. Now the chaeto wont end up all over my freakin sump like before.

The giant space you see in the other side is waiting for my skimmer to come in tomorrow (octo extreme 200). I was sooooo happy to take out my old POS.

 

I put these up in my tool shed to remind me how "not" to do it next time....

A few remnants from two areas of plumbing that i have fixed. One last weekend, one today
