Cool tank. Good job of reusing an old table and dishwaser top

Tank full of water & pump running but I think I want to increase the flow a little bit by getting a bigger pump.

Ok so after working in the snow all day in Edmonton ( not a good thing when you are a welder ) & freaking out because your wife txt you to tell you the power is out, I finally get home around 8 pm to find big tank is ok but a little cold. So I start on getting a few thing done on the nano.

First the light hanger for black SOL, I put the control on the arm for a lack of a better idea for now:





Then I washed some sand & through it in. Moved the tank back to the wall and refilled it. I hope to have time to set the rock in tonight also think the flow is a little low so I might pick up a bigger pump on the way home again from Edmonton.


I hope the judges will be kind to me as I am a few days off the time line but I am a busy man and working out of town ATM.

Enjoy and more to come.
