Things are moving along! When are you doing your water test?

Kids were not in the room till the tank was in place...
Water test?... 26th of august... maybe the 18th or 19th.

I like your tank build but the last picture made me LOL. Soldering on a fabric couch next to some tinder dry grass/brush.There wouldn't happen to be a 5 gallon jerry can of gas behind the couch? Hopefully you don't end up on tonights News hour.

It's an electric soldering iron... and I have a bottle of propane and 2 bottles of propylene that you can sorta see on the left of the pic

So, you were working on your plumbing the other day. Any progress? Any challanges?

Okay here is the thing... my dad is living with me and he has chemical sensitivities (in other words he gets some horrible migraines from glues and such) so I have done what I can outside... My dad is going to visit my sister for a month and he is leaving on the Sunday so I will be able to finish gluing the pipes when I get home on Sunday if I get back from Victoria in time. So far everything looks good and I hope to have fish in the tank by the first week of September... but I'm not going to rush it... so if it's not ready then the fish have to wait... I'm shooting for the first week because the 12th there is a Frag Swap that I'm going to and I would like to be able to buy something

I'm going away for the weekend so there will be no updates past 2:00pm PST on Friday... I'll be back Sunday evening and hope to update with some pics/info on how the plumbing went... if I have the time/energy.

Hi, looking good so far, so is the couch is used to be where the tank is now? How do you find so much time on your hands with 2 kids and a wife? I barely have enough time myself. Here's cheering you on. Regards Ken
