    No problem before I started this build I had no clue about any of the plumbing items for a large tank or even what a closed loop setup was.

    Thanks Tigermike and Dasco for the kind words.

    I Decided to put the bulkheads and Loc-lines in the bottom of the tank last night. The pictures are not the best but here they are.

    The one fish I am scared to transfer is my fox face. Every time I have to put my hand in my tank for something I cringe at the thought of him hitting me with his venom. I have made a neat fish trap so I hope he falls for it before I have to remove the rock so I can put him in a QT while I complete the transfer

    i have been stung by them several times and its not as bad as you think it would hurt lol just use two nets to catch him
