got an email yesterday saying Rock should be here tomorrow *fingers crossed* Put a couple more gallons in the tank and now I'll just wait till the rocks and sand are in before I fill it the rest of the way. Ordered lights too! The guy I was going to get two vortech MP20s off of ran out (anniversary sale at an LFS here) so he gave me a screaming deal on a MP40....wooooopah!

one drip ends, another friggen begins. Figures the one spot I didn't hit with the silicone from the return in the overflow down into the sump would be it....damnit. Soooooo let the overflow drip out into the sump, silicone that before close tonight and let that dry...Saturday should be able to run everything.

But on a positive note, the rocks and sand showed up today and the tank is currently all cloudy and disgusting! Ended up going with probably 60lbs in the display tank and about 5 and change in the sump. Beautiful dry rock...full of lots of nooks and crannies and ledges etc....got a nice open scape going on too, complete with mini valley and overhang ha ha....

dear lord I hope things start going together easier.

Hang in there, champ. At least there rocks in the tank, that's not a bad place to be. Can't wait to see pics.

it's hard to really get a sense of the little cove and all the crevaces etc...but this is where we're at:

Lots-o-potential. So Saturday is the big day then. Well, at least there will be some settling time in the meanwhile. I can see why you're frustrated. I can't imagine a build where things have gone so horribly wrong. Oh wait, wait, are we talking about THIS build? In that case .. um, yeah, never mind.

Anyhow, yeah, in all seriousness ... looks good from here!

Where are the rocks sitting, off to one side? Any plans for the other side?
