I can just imagine that conversation.. "so Mark, we have a problem with the build. No, not the tank, the house. I grossly underestimated its awesomeness. The tank is just so awesome that we will need to balance things out a bit more. I propose me make the fireplace more awesomer. As a result, we will also need to make the kitchen even more more awesomer. Thanks for understanding and sorry for the inconvenience."

Haha....it totally went like that!!! Except he added in there somewhere that he hoped my wallet could take this kind of intense pain. I'm still struggling with it.

It's almost going to be a bit of a shame to see water get put in there because it's such a clean build. Think of it, the obligatory water stains, diatoms and slimes along the way of a tank cycle .....

..... "almost." In the end it can't help but be epic.

You must be happy that the wet phase can't be too far off now!

I'm thrilled...if I survive moving the family. After all this time working on the tank...it's my last priority at the moment.

A better question is...why do people move after having children? Or maybe even better is...why do I have so much crap?

Well, we are in the new home...and exhausted. My fish room got the floors epoxied and I should be able to walk on them tomorrow. Got the closed cell foam for under the sump and will put them together tomorrow when I have help to move things around.

I know there should be pics but I'm too pooped for much right now.
