Glenn if you need any plumbing parts I have a box of leftover parts and flex hose. The only 1" PVC I have is about 2' long but there is a bunch of other stuff. Let me know what you need and I'll take a look through it.

Dang I just bought a 10 foot length from HD. ohh well it was only $5. But for Albert I'll give him the left over for $20 :)

Got the tank plumbing done now and the back and bottom painted. I had to go with a darker blue than I originally wanted to but it was the closest I could get. Krylon Fusion $6.97 @ wallyworld. White on the bottom and Blue on the back.

Next is to cut out the top to fit the plumbing and then attaching it to the 2x4 framework. I will hang the 175W MH light from a telescoping tube that will attach to the back of the stand.

Stage one is done. Tank is in and filled, live rock has been placed (not as nice as I want but I'm tired) Fishies are in and seem to be happy.

Pictures?

Pictures will be coming as soon as we figure out how to get them off the wife's cell phone :)

Did you move existing LR from a previous tank into the new tank?

Yes and we moved the new tank to the same spot in the house. It was a pain to do at the same time but it looks as though everything made it (so far)

camera is finally fixed
 

Finally got the camera back. And new lights.
