Sweet! Does that mean hell be free to do my tank next month?

That does leave room for another upgrade I suppose. Wait...how long has the 97 been going lol?

Waiting is going to be rough but it's not like any waiting I've done previously. I have a tank so I'm still totally happy! Speaking of which...water change time!

Where is that Pet Peeve Thread? I think we need to add Mikes Sig to it. HEHE

If we do that it's going to make the thread like 10 feet longer when scrolling. What to DO?

Well I'm sore as hell. Was a busy day getting my basement ready.

Few things changed (I'm sorta like Mike sometimes!):

- Going regular glass afterall. Concept Aquariums will be here before Feb rolls around!
- Absolutely no holes in the tank. Safety and energy efficient Vortechs.

So before I built the stand (I'm getting really good at these) I had to frame my fishroom and behind the tank because it'd be really hard later. This was tough because I have to shuffle couches and stuff around to build walls in this tiny basement. I also had to demo and dispose of the silly half-wall the previous owners had made. If you look at the photo below you can see there is a floating wall. No idea why but it had to come down.

Before:

After:

I still need to clad the sides with some plywood for lateral stability. Will likely use some scraps I have and not sheet the entire area as I don't think it's needed. The wall behind the tank needs some more love but I ran out of 2x4s.

Off to bed. That was a rough one.
