Plumbing the Overflow and Return..............Post 15 So, I had the evening to myself yesterday. My wife was working and the kids were sleeping. A rare opportunity for me to work on the tank without interruptions. The next step was to plumb the tank and I have to admit I really wanted to see some water in it. At one point, I was kneeling on the floor beside the tank. The basement floor was scattered with PVC fittings. Paper towel lay in a pile where I had been placing it after wiping excess glue from the joints. Various tools were within reach. I had the Apple TV streaming ‘Chillout Dreams’ from DI.FM to the home theater – In fact I was really enjoying myself. It occurred to me that I was sharing an experience of so many others before me. Plumbing the tank. - I’m not talking about professional aquarists, or even when you are working on a tank with friends. It was the solitude that struck me.

Your plumbing looks awesome... I'm doing the plumbing ATM too... doesn't look as good as yours and I don't get the solitude... I get the kids wanting to "help" and the wife wanting me to do anything that doesn't involve working on the fish tank.

So, I filled my tank with fresh water this morning. Everything checked out and there are no real problems to speak of.
Ironically, we had a flash rain storm here this evening and one of the basement window wells flooded. I figure about 20 gallons of water ended up on the carpet. Oh well... <New Content Posted> Fresh water testing...........................Post 16 Last edited by abcha0s; 02-15-2011 at 05:39 PM.
