Default Another Monster update.

Well, it's almost done. The Tank room that is

-Wall's are painted.
-Floor installed.
-Trim installed and painted.
-Door (with lock to keep the up and comming little one's out of there) almost done being painted.
-Light hood installed with a pulley system that raises the hood up so there is about 12" of clearance between the bottom of the hood and top of tank.
I am very impressed with this system of having my light's mounted

All I need to finish before the move is to finish painting the door and do some touchup's on the wall. Put the sump on some 2x4's and then the big swap day is ready. Phewww that up and comming day makes me exhausted just thinking about it.

ciao

Jon you should get someone to paint a cool reef-scene on the inside walls or something. Or at least the door. Or maybe not. But I used to love the interior of the McMahon Joey's Only when I was a kid, with the moorish idols and stuff on the walls.

I have air pumps if you need them for critters while you are switching.

Besides I want to see all the happy little fish faces when they go into that big tank....

Hey Tony,
I don't know for sure yet but I may find out today if I get my schedule at work. It will be next week for sure. I was going to do it this week but I am going away for a business trip to Wisconsen over the weekend so that's not a great idea to switch it over and leave Kate to deal with it
Next Week! YEA!!

Here are some pics. This is a front shot with the radium's installed. There is 2 radium's and there is going to be 2 Iwasaki (250W) bulbs on there as well. It's going to be HOT

THis pic is to show off my flooring installation skills! And my 100g sump. The sump will sit closer toward the stand and the 75g refugium will sit to the right of the sump along the other wall.

THis shot is of my pulley system. I am so impressed with how this work's and the adjustability is awsome! Very happy. It's quick release as well so If I need to get the hood off then is quite simple.

Here is an overall view of the pulley system. It's adjustable VIA a dog leash clip and a long section of chain

Cheers
