ahah ok... I'm working on it. Tonight or at some point this weekend

So one of the main things I wanted with my new tank was easy water changes because I hate doing them. So I made the sump very accessible and also made removing the water very easy while keeping things clean.

For those who forget what my stand looks like:

The sump is in the right

It's real, I've seen a few similar ones but never seen one for sale. I guess you gotta get a purple one and an orange one then get them to spawn.

Ryan_Lap 12-08-2008 02:17 AM

We'll get it eventually he's just stalling to get his view count up :lol:

Quit stalling Wes!

Trigger Man 12-08-2008 02:24 AM

It's working for view count, I keep clicking on this thread to see the new tank shot, hopefully it comes soon.

Ryan_Lap 12-08-2008 02:25 AM

Yah who cares about the view count. Wes, if you think the contest is the most views wins you been grossly misled. :lol:

Mwaahahaha...

superduperwesman 12-08-2008 03:08 AM

I just don't want people to get to good of a look... familiarity breads contempt. If people see my tank basically stalked with 4 months to go they'll be sooo bored of it by the time voting comes around.

superduperwesman 12-08-2008 03:09 AM

Plus I want to get a new camera so I can post some quality pictures

ahah it's not about view count... just want to save some surprises.

Plus I posted a video on my easy water changes and pretty much no one commented :( so why the fuss over not having a big fts

karazy 12-08-2008 03:32 AM

lookin kool

that water change system is really neat. i dont understand how it works, but it's neat

superduperwesman 12-08-2008 04:23 AM

Yeah I guess I should have explained it a little better. I just drilled a hole in the 45' elbow that's below the ball valve on the pump return. The I heated it up and threaded in a fitting with some glue on it. Then I ran that to a ball valve, then down the side of the sump and out the bottom of the right side of the stand.

I turn off the water returning to the display and open up the small blue water change ball valve and the water drains out the bottom of the right side into my water change bucket

superduperwesman 12-08-2008 04:44 AM

A little something else I picked up...

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...n/IMG_1332.jpg

superduperwesman 12-08-2008 05:38 AM

This might help to understand the water change system better...

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...aterChange.jpg

Now this might make more sense:

I've heard that expression before but I've never actually "heard" about the birds and the bees... i think I'll have to google it

superduperwesman 12-08-2008 06:46 AM

ok so it's just about how they pollinate flows... lame! Not the best metaphor if you ask me.

Ryan_Lap 12-08-2008 06:47 AM

ok if your having a hard time just google "sex". I think its pretty much the number 1 googled thing. :lol:

ahah I know what it's referring too... I just never knew what the parallel was specifically.

I thought it would be a little more exciting.

Ryan_Lap 12-08-2008 06:57 AM

I guess its hard to emphasize saracasm online.... damnit
