A round of applause. Amazing how the thought of 90 gallons of water on the floor can motivate Great job guys.

Amazing what can be done when we are really motivated.

Looks nice, I'm sure you will be very happy with the new tank!

Hmm..
"Honey the tank is in imminent danger of collapse and flooding your floors. I feel the best course of action would be to buy a newer, bigger tank. Today."

I see what you did there!

Now that's the sort of overbuilt stand I love! Nice work on pulling off an upgrade while you're at it. I can't get over how nice the rockwork looks for such a mad rush.

And about HD and pvc...I noticed here in Calgary at the Shawnessy location that they only have 4" and the stuff with holes in it. I had to go to Rona for pvc.

Looks great. Too bad about the Trigger but, as you've already said, one is better than all.

Lets see...the last night I pulled an all nighter there was big signs, bright lights and black jack...maybe I should try one when I get motivated to build the new setup.


Again...Well done!
