CherylMcKay's 2012 Nano Contest Entry

[CherylMcKay]

So, it looks like l get Lost my feet wet by building a sump for the nano. l had a 10G that when I tried to drill it, showed how cheap it was. It was tempered and broke.

So l will price some glass and build a small tank that measures 18x12x12.

This will be a good-test as I am contemplating building the Sump for my 165 Gallon.

Hopefully the glass isn't to expensive.

Another office tank. How I would love one! I'm jealous.

Office tanks are always cool. Cant wait to see what you build!

Well the glass was picked up on Monday, but l didn't start gluing until today.


So l had only one false start and had to pull 2of the pieces apart clean them up and start again. All in all I think, l did okay.



I have also put in apiece of glass to separate the 2 sides of the sump. One side is about 8 gallons and the other is my Ato resivior and is about 6 gallons.

I will put up a picure when everything dries. l will have a bulk head sealing it off for now as l may use it a little differently in the future.

I was thinking about a stand and decided against asking my husband to pull his tools out again to help me build another stand. Part of the delay in putting the glass together was we were busy getting everything put away before the snow flies. of course I thought of it after he got them all packed away under the tarps and in the shed.... Shoot, should have thought of it earlier. Now l have to figure out a stand.
