Just came from creepin V2 and I'm pretty excited to see how you lay the new aquascape out. I know it's a little early but you have any ideas on how you want to put everything in?

Very cool, Doug ! The only disconcerting bit that caught my eye was the bit about moving to <cough> Edmonton <cough>.

Who'd you **** off to deserve THAT ??

well you've seen my tank in person right?.... Im really fond of the overhangs with the PVC substructures I have going on.....I get so many compliments on them, so Im thinking that the big tank will look fairly similar to V2...with 30" front to back Im thinking of attempting a really dramatic, massive overhang in this tank.....the overhangs in V2 were done with 1/2 PVC....the overhang Im envisioning in my head will likely need a substructure of at least 1"- 1 1/2" PVC.....I wanna try and blow peoples minds with this aquascape in this tank....



well yous guys went and made me all self conscious about my inadequacies in the powerhead department so I picked up one of these

[fishytime]

so I got the news a day or two ago from the G-man himself that he will be doing my tank this w/e (I hope Im not jinxing it by posting that its gonna be done).......Steve, from RCE texted me today(yesterday technically) that he is picking up my sump from Niel on Sunday.......this thing finally sounds like its gonna come together!!!!.... Im soooo excited that here I sit at 3 AM with the wheels turning in my head not able to sleep....If the tank does indeed get done, it will be making the trip to E-town next w/e......I have a massive "to do" list this week that includes cutting the two plywood shelves for the stand, compiling the specialty plumbing parts, starting a "fishytime's beer/pizza/tank move get together" thread for Saturday in Etown.....gonna move the live rock I have sitting in tubs up there too......whew, this building a tank in one city while living in another is gonna be the death of me

You are going to crap when you see your sump in person seen it yesterday!! There's only 2 baffles that don't have polished edges, it looks sweet.
