What a beauty.....Glad everything went well!!:thumb:

Looks great. Glad it worked out.

Should have just cut a hole in the wall Doug :twised: a good carpenter or reno dude could have fixed it easily that is if you know one :razz:

Tank looks great Dougster, now hurry up & get it wet! :twised:

Unfortunatly Jr. Was more interested in Laurie's tanks so thats all the pix he got lol


Glad I could help out....can't wait to see it full!

thanks Dan!



are you talking about the tank or your truck?:lol:



well, we'll see if it all worked out when I fill the tank with H2o:neutral::wink:

What?? its not salty yet?? Whatcha waiting for??? jk!:razz:

Sweet tank, worth the wait I bet!!

I figured it would take less time and money to put the overflows back on then it would to fix the drywall, door jamb and casing......I may have been wrong.....I have a new least favorite tank chore.....scraping silicone off glass....took way longer then I thought to get the glass clean enough to re-silicone....between all the running around I had to do and the time sucking vortex of scraping silicone I only managed to get one of the overflows glued back on before I had to leave for C-town to get the bosses truck back......will be back in E-town this coming w/e to get the second overflow stuck on and the plumbing done....



I get distracted by Lauries tanks too.....hey a couple pix is better than no pix....thanks again mang!

thanks Sheena.....I could have worked through the night on Saturday, but I was wiped out fron the day....I would rather make another trip up there this w/e to get things done then rush through it and F something up....besides it give me another excuse to see my baby again....Laurie I mean, not the tank:wink:

:lol: you better mean me :wink:

Else you just might be buried in that there glass box. :lol::lol:

:pound:

Doug did say that the kid inside him wants to climb in and have his pic taken :lol:

Laurie, I want to know where the traditional "mermaid" pic is?

+1

Lol

Maybe there IS a mermaid pic..... But you guys will never see it:razz:

Just so long as their isnt a "merman" pic. :what:

everything checked out perfect with no leaks, so I pushed the tank back to the wall and threw the level on the tank and bam!.....no shimming required....first basement floor I think I ever seen that was level:surprise:

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...g/DSC_0228.jpg


commence filling!

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...g/DSC_0226.jpg

Ya it's wet but is it salty yet? :lol:

I say the perfect level is all in the stand :twised:

Kewl!!

woo hoo h2o!!! :mrgreen:

Excellent :razz:
Such a great break on the level floor :wink:
I know how you feel about the whole thing ...
I just finished putting salt in mine tonight after tooooo many months

Hope to see yours running soon :mrgreen:

Im starting to get excited

:mrgreen:

thanks man....I did get lucky with the floor.... my build isnt actually taking that long now that I have the tank.....oh well waiting as long as I did for the tank allowed me to save the coin to go high-end-ish with my equipement....good to hear you got your tank salty!:biggrin:

so your saying if any part of your stand isnt touching the floor, it should carry the weight and not need to be shimmed???:razz:

my job was to get her wet....now its Lauries job to make it salty:mrgreen:

Good to see her wet man. That skimmer is a brute lol. I've seen full reef tanks smaller than that skimmer.
Keep those pics coming

its funny you say that....I was wondering how many gallons the thing holds and if I should have made allowances for it in a power out situation:lol:





I got off work a little early today so I figured if I wasnt making money, I should go spend some.....good logic eh?....I picked up the last remaining pieces of the puzzle today.....I had one from before and got three today...lighting done, *check*....hopefully this will be all the tank needs and I dont have to use my T5s .....also grabbed another 300w heater for good measure...

Nothin' spending money when you're not makin' any :razz:
