    So I got to drive up to Denver to trade skimmers, and got to see the store. It's very nice indeed. The wall of tanks is great. Looks very nice and fits perfect. The fixtures are nice in the rest of the store. The finish and colors I really like. Very nice setup.

    The water tanks were going, still needed to set up the quarantine tanks. Got to meet Colodan and the wife. I helped CJ put on his fake cast for the pity photos. I told him it was not cool, but he did it anyway. ;D

    Overall it is really nice and is coming along. Lots of work left. Didn't even have any salt in any water yet. Lots of thought though and well designed. Next time I'll have to get some pizza next door.

    It was great meeting everyone. You guys are doing a great job.

    Big Day today. Got most of the plumbing done to top off the tanks and replace any salt water lost do to sales. every tank or sump has its own spigot for saltwater or ro/di water so when a tank gets low its only a matter of turning on the pump and turning a valve to refill the water. No leaks on the first try! just one faulty valve had to be replaced. I think I may be qualified to be a journeyman plumber now. Can't wait till this setup process is done so I can actually pay attention to my tank again. I might have to do something similar to my tank, would make water changes a breeze.:)
