Well Francis and I put in a good day at ST today. Thanks Carmen for covering for me at the shop.

I will list the things we accomplished today.

Electrical setup and run
Plumbing to drain and Fresh water in.
Canopy up; plumbed and lighting tested
sand in
heaters in
worked on canopy doors ( back wall that canopy fits in has huge bumps and bulges and is far from being straight)

The pump is running and all that is needed is the loc-line connectors as I am just running a straight pipe down now.

We washed the sand out but it still caused an Iraq Eclipse. The pics look blue but I am happy how it is progressing.









I am back at it again tomorrow
Thanks for looking
Kevin

Great set-up. How did you decide on the clear silicone for the tank?

I am glad you brought this up. In hind sight I should have gone Black silicone as you don't see any growth on it; but for the first 3 - 6 months it will be enjoyable seeing the transparent seam.
