    Hello All and Welcome,

    Couple of my friends started bugging me about getting into this hobby as they thought I would really enjoy it. Enjoy it sure, but then at some point the tides turned and obsession set in.

    And So Construction Began!

    Then We decided hey this really needs a big sump/fuge!

    Before:

    After a few skill saw cuts the back of the stand decided to cooperate and allow the insertion of the sump.

    After:

    Then the time came! The filling of the tank. Some suspense was lost here due to the 2 day fill time, but I and a smaller monkey I live with hopes remained high.

    And finally our efforts came to fruition!

    So that's it. So go on scat! You dont have to go home but you can't stay here.

    Damsels commited suicide shortly after induction into their new realm. I tried to talk them out of it but they weren't having it.

    It was there from the nasty old cigarette hag I bought the 29 gallon high from. Looks way better than a hello kitty sticker though
