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.

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.

and here is my Fish sink

man I can't believe that im getting excited over a sink.... ya ya ya I know its a mess isn't it

Well you need to have the good guy in there trowling the cement right. God I'm so good at what I do.......

And with all the reno's and ripping up the floor, and putting in another new tank.. See My wife still has a happy smile.....

That's the most important factor of a new build: Keeping a smile on wifey's face.

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

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.

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

Skimmerking · #18 05-30-2008, 08:08 PM

Hey there RObb sorry if I'm making you look bad

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

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.

And here is the water going in to the container, LOL man i have no life....

And snce I moved my washer and dyer to its new spot. I had to redo some of the pumbing for the washer and the Waste water for the RO/DI and the waste water for the A/C nice power cord for the washer machine.... I need to put a plug in there
