Im glad that we went that extra mile in the end. it paid off.

going the extra mile is almost always worth it. better to do all now thean to dig again later.

here is the finished floor so far the pipe is just there until I moved the washer over across the other side.http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...L/DSC04316.jpg
this is where my sink is going to go just to the left of the pipe, and the wall that will divide the fish room and the laundry room will be 36" bi fold doors.

Nice progress! What is the next step for you now?

Skimmerking 05-30-2008 06:14 PM

the reno guys are going to come in I hope that they put the wall up in the fish room so I can have time to build my sump stand since I going to get my new sump this weekend. I hope to have it all plumbed so once I get back all I have to do is do the transfer over. Im going to pre order my lumenarc reflectors too. then once home I can getmy rock too I dodnt have the time to get the rock from Mike at hidden reef.:sad:

Joe Reefer 05-30-2008 07:00 PM

Wow Mike, are you trying to have water in to before you leave again? Good job so far.

Skimmerking 05-30-2008 08:08 PM

Hey there RObb sorry if I'm making you look bad:mrgreen: you better hurry up.

Lando trust me if this plumbing and electric crap didn't come up I would have had the tank transfered by now. Now I have to wait til Sept til I get home :cry:

Well I was at it again trying to fine tune the fish room. Since I have been gone Doug has been mixing salt water at his house using his water and his salt for me. THANKS DOUG. So I went out and got a garbage can for Water changes its just a 21 gal container but I think it will do the trick. since my sump will be about 30 gal that should work out just fine drain the sump and clean it and do a water change at the same time.
