Fish's new tank project

[Fish]

I drilled holes in the bottom piece of my stand to route the electrical cords for my sump equipment:




Then I painted everything and glued the powerbar, in a tubberware container to the underside of the stand - making it impossible for spilled water to get to the electrical:




Added gfi plug in the rafters for my lighting and in the wall for the sump power:




Tank arrived:





I chopped down my closed loop filter screen so it didn't protrude into the tank so far:

[Fish]

T5HO lighting arrived:






I assembled the pvc plumbing:



Then glued it:




Then hit it with some krylon fusion spray piant:

[Fish]

Then added a few other pieces of equipment:







And a peacock mantis shrimp named Mac:





And that brings us pretty much up to date!

Thanks for looking,

Im looking for a peacock mantis myself. If you don't mind my asking, does gold's aquarium have any peacocks left and would they ship to vancouver?

I assume you removed those glue runs from the power bar , all in the interest of attention to detail of course

Haha thanks bro. Actually I left the glue runs on the powerbar because I thought that the hardened glue might act like fingers providing more contact points and less chance that the powerbar will one day come detached. It does look dreadful though. No one can see it unless they got down and put their face against the floor... but.... I know it's there still
