This morning I ran down stairs to start water. When I got back my wife thanked me for starting coffee. I said "huh????" She said "you started the coffee water"

This is the water I started.....



She will just have to learn in guess. Hahahahahahaha...

Hey Spencer,

Skimmer looks great. Do make sure you're able to get it in and out of your sump. I had a similar problem and had to have Dave build me a second stand cause I couldn't get the skimmer in or out.

Also you'll want to make sure that Rubbermaid bin is food grade. Especially being black it may leech contaminates into your water. Do some reasearch on Brute bins as they are food grade. You can pick them up from Home Depot.

Coming along nicely! I know that you already know this, but man 29" is tall yo! Over the years that is probably the single most complained about aspect that I hear about people's tanks. ie, that it is too tall. Anyway, I've been following your threads so I know that your dimensions are deliberate.

Is that what we are calling them now?

I really like a deep tank. Just grab a snorkel if you can't reach the bottom. Experience your tank in a whole new way.
