Quit messing around and put water in there
Haha...I'll tell her my new orders right away!

Funny enough, I had most of yesterday to work on things and even then, only a little got done. The real SOB of that plumbing was that TruWye. It sounded like a good idea at first, until I realized that the angles of the split were around 65°...and I was up till 1am trying to make 45's and 90's compensate. If I was a true plumber, the concept of turning the 45's would have come to me much earlier.

I'm very impressed with your fish room. Congratulations on an amazing build!

Well, I haven't had as much time to work on the tank in the last few days (what with New Years and all) but I did have time to put up the new 65" Panasonic Plasma I got in my theater room. Don't mind the mess and no, that audio rack is not supposed to be there...a refrigerator is. I have an amazing PSB speaker system going up as well, once I find speaker mounts that I like.

Crap Mark, now I need a bigger TV because your 65" makes my 54" look tiny. We picked up Kef speakers that sound nice for a reasonable price, running them on a Onkyo amplifier. I was never able to find speaker mounts I like so the darn things are still sitting in weird places.

Got the quarantine tank in place today...next will be the frag tank. Slow going but steadily moving forward.
Gotta have pics to prove it!

Mark, that's a small QT for a big reef, no? Maybe you're planning one small and one bigger? <- There's an idea!
