Emergency drain installed! Wish i could have made it a bit more "undercover"... but it will do the job.

Even after draining the tank today to add my emergency drain, I still had enough time to get er' filled back up and added the Live rock and I think this is gonna be my final aquascape... Got a couple ideas to try out tomorrow.. but, im really liking this one.



Also picked up a used Hagen Glo 2x24WT5HO fixture today (thanks finaddict!)...

Nice progress Maybe if you painted the white PVC with black Krylon Fusion, it would be more "undercover"?

I see I am one of the few lazys that will be gambling no overflow. Nice rocks though. I was cherry picking through some for almost an hour. It is very hard finding smaller/adequate pieces when they are all 3 feet below 30 pound pieces in the holding tanks at the store.
