So close to filling the tank, just having to wait for some help lifting the tank onto the stand. Only 4 more feet... all this and im sidelined by a height less than me (Not much less i'll add). Oh well, Pretty happy with how the plumbing worked out. The gate valves make the plumbing look like it was designed for a tank volume 10 times the size I have, which I enjoy greatly. hmm excited about gate valves, not good. I got the bulkheads screwed in there pretty good, didnt want to run the risk of cracking the glass. Theres some good compression on the rubber gaskets, figured thats what I was looking for.

Thanks for the offer, got er up there this morning. Going to plumb it up this afternoon and get some H2O. Seems bigger than my other 90g for some reason.

wooo! Look at the size of that sump...think of all the junk you can put in there! Trust me, it'll happen. Everytime I try to get a large sump and leave is spacious, reactors and the like just seem to find their way in there...trust me, it'll happen.

I can only imagine, Ive already been looking at the digital aquatics controllers, completely overkill for my needs right now. But very cool none the less, so its been added to an already very long wish list.

Wish number 1: WATER!!!

That being said I better motivate myself to go to Rona (AGAIN!) to pick up the rest of my needed plumbing.
