Hey mark what kind of hours do you work? I need to pick your brain on some plumbing ideas. Are you availible Sunday morning at all? Or if anyone else in Vernon wants to comeover, and give me some suggestions, would be great. Tanks still on the floor but have been drawing up ways I want to do it. But not liking the way some of it's going.

Hey Nigel, no problem I would be glad to come over on Sunday. I work from home during the week (and travel a fair bit) but weekends are mine.

PM your address and phone # and we'll work it out.

Nigel, I don't know how I missed the size of your new tank!

I can't believe you are building a setup like that and there hasn't been a thread documenting the build. I might have to offer my limited services to help you lift it, just so I can see this thing. Let me know if you need any help.

I think once I get the tank on the stand, I might pop up a couple pictures. So far the build has taken a few months.

Thanks for the offer to lift the tank, if I need a hand I'll give you a shout. If you ever want to venture over and give some opinions, would be great. Mark came last weekend, and gave me a few new ideas.

Well i hope Nigel that you cvan have a tank like before that was amazing, you boys in the west coast are in for a treat

Well Nigel, now that we've moved the tank onto the stand...I'm expecting to see more pictures on here. Speaking of the move, that went a lot better than I expected. I barely have any aches or pains...lol. If nothing else, it took a lot of the dread of putting a large tank in my own house away.

Let me know if you need some hands to help you with the plumbing.

Maybe I should start a thread soon. That did go alot better then I thought. I think I would have been fine with just 4 guys. Thanks for your help Mark. I'll keep you posted if I need a hand.

How goes the battle

Gools · #69 02-25-2008, 05:44 AM

Making some progress. Tank is filled with fresh water, to test the plumbing for leaks, and finishing durso's, and other things to make it quieter. Just trying to round up some sand, then some rock. Then I will be working on the light rack and wiring up the lights. Today I built the stand for my fuge, frag, and Q tank. Building it in my livingroom with the kids, as that's the only way it will ever get done, but I must say we all had a blast.
