I picked up the racking from Arpac down the street from Ocean Aquatics. It cost about $900.00, but for me was well worth the money. I run my business out of my garage, so part of it is a tax write-off :biggrin:

If anyone wants to order that type of racking, email me for some advice prior to doing so.

We did a bit of plumbing today - slow day at work :lol:. Thank goodness the boss understands. Oh wait, I'm the boss! :biggrin:

Dave from West Coast Aquariums did a great job. Everything was really tight for the space we had available . Everything seems to fit in well or maybe Dave just made it look easy. What is really great is that you can't really see the plumbing unless you crouch down to look at it.

Here are a few pictures of what we (Dave!) did today.

I'll be putting in the skimmer in a day or so. Still have a bit of plumbing to do.

Just put my Euro Reef RC500 skimmer in. I'll be filling the tank tomorrow to test for leaks.

Well, I had some bad news today. I will try and get throught this as best I can. Please bear with me.

Oddly enough, it was delivered by Mother Nature herself. Yep, in fact, personally. :cry: She regretfully had to tell me that I was 50 years old today!! Holy cow!!!! 50! I can still remember being 10!!! What happened in between?!?!? I still feel like having milk run out out of my nose and thinking its cool.

Funny how things can creep up on you. Oddly enough, some days, I still feel like in 10 years old (my wife confirms this) :biggrin:

Anyway, I'd better get going. I have to look up some clinics regarding Botox treatments and a good salon regarding my gray hair. Some kids are playing on my lawn and I have to go yell at them (that's what I think I'm supposed to do anyway). And oh ya, I better get my "Depends". Apparently, old foggies like me need those for some weird reason (maybe its because I need to go to the bathroom 2-3 times a night - lol).

Well, here's to my heart bypass and retirement in 20 years! :smile:
