Heres the water test, it's just about full now, everything looks good.

I get nervous filling a tank for the first time in the shop, can't imagine doing it in the house, looking good Bob.

Okay the picture was taken in the day time now it's getting dark is it full!

Thats wicked Bob!.......how close do ya figure you are to calling it ALIVE?????

So i take it i could bring the skimmer back anytime?

Yep, all 315 gallons.

Well Doug, I think it's going to be a while yet. Now that is tested, I'm going to start the woodwork around it, I don't even have a sump yet. So it's going to be a while. Between the extra shifts at work and the kids, haven't had much time to work on this, but...........summer is coming and we know what that means! Two months off and my parents want the kids for at least a couple weeks. So I'm hoping by the end of August to be operational. I wish it could speed things up but I might as well be realistic.

No rush, won't have salty water for a bit yet. But I should swing by for a visit anyway, haven't seen the tank in a couple of months.

Unfortunately with this one I couldn't test it outside. Oh well, whats 300 gallons if it let go! No worries on this one, Im confident on the build, I've seen quite a few tanks and this one is solid.

I wouldnt second guess the quality of the tank either:wink:.....
