    there are 6 and 3 vertizontals, i needed atleast a 25" width under the tank so the outer edge of the tank overlaps the supports by 1/2", plywood is 5/8" which i just started to coat with liquid plastic.

    otty:
    i dont drink beer

    omard:
    thanks

    the fuge needed to be reinforced with eurobracing and the overflow still needs to be tweeked. the double bulkhead fitting goes from the fuge to the sump. will probably just use a cloth filter sock instead of bioballs or LR since i have so many in the garage. there easy to use just clean in bleach.

    Hey reef, Don't you ever stop? You do more in a day than I do in a week form the looks of it! LOL, looks really good. Cant wait to see it

    Not to HJ, and I know I asked you before but what kind of pump are you partial to? I remember you saying something about Gen-X, is that what your using on your display?

    i like gen-x and little giant pumps, long lasting and dependable as far as im concerned. next time you come over to the house there will be some presents for ya. the big tank is coming, still hashing out some engineering pitfalls.

    geek:
    i jumped on top of the stand and played havoc with it, so far so good. the next step is to have my x-wife come over and stress test it.

    otty:
    i was kidding about the beer

    Let me know, and I will come..Would love to see it all together... Thanks for the info, trying to gather up as much stuff as I can before I set up my next tank.

    By the way those frags you gave me have grown at least 1/2 inch and in multiple places, what was the name of it?

    "Next step is to have my x-wife come over and stress test it!" OUCH! Funny as hell but OUCH!
