In this set you can see both bay drawers open. Figuring out how to build those was by no means easy. Second pic is the tank on the stand. The outside of the tank hasnt been finished yet. Third pic is the tank filled with the filter running. The spraybar is temp. fixed to the crossbrace. I wanted to see how I could set up currents in the tank. Fourth shot is the filter on the outside. It will eventually go into the rt. bay drawer.

The one thing about the 2250 is that there is no easy way to disconnect the filter to clean it. Something else I'll have to figure out now.

I have some construction pics also.

Thanx. Yeah, it aint light. But it's weighs less than if I did it in brick or real stone.

Thanx. I've had to pull back on the tank due to a lot of family business I've been attending to.
However, this is what I was working on in addition to the cactus branch. It's a kind of Tiki hut and will be covered in all natural materials. The trick is coming up with a way to waterproof the hut. Got some ideas and hope to get back into the project in the next couple of weeks.
