290G Peninsula Tank

After a visit to my local Andrew Sheret, I have come up with a solution. For about $30, I can put an extendable PVC joint into each line. This way I don't need to be exact with the measurements because I can extend it up to 3" in length. I will take a picture of the joint later to put on here. I chatted with a couple plumber friends of mine and neither had issues with these extenders leaking, so let's hope I can say the same.

Hey Mark, your build is looking FANTASTIC! I'm so happy for you that you're getting some great progress now, and it is all coming together for you so nicely. The stand and canopy are right classy. Soon the stress will be on to make the inside look as good as the outside!

Haha, Thanks Mindy. The stress of not yet being able to buy some of the frags I see on here from Snappy and others is almost as bad...so I'm hoping it will all balance out.

^^ That is the worst part about having an in-progress build - seeing all the stuff you badly want to buy or add, but can't.

How long are your US orders taking to arrive? Mine take about 3 weeks unfortunately.

Hey, sorry for the delay in answering...I was away for a bit.

My orders from the US average about 14 days...so a little faster than you apparently Got my stuff, now just to find the time to put it together. I leave for the Kootenay's on business for the next three days and my wife sure isn't doing the plumbing while I'm gone!

Anyways, here's a quick phone pic from today, the doors on my fish cabinet were going on. Simple and all solid Oak. The pic isn't great, I will take my camera if I go over tonight.

yeah i see now they are already pretty close together. if it were me and pointing the tunze slightly up didn't work out very well i'd try and move the vortechs up as well. looks like you have unlimited vertical room for holes if the overflow box is narrow enough.
