This is getting frustrating. Dan doesn't have any Pond Coat in stock and it'll be at least two weeks, maybe more, before he does. Snows continue on the route from CA to New Orleans, so can't get it direct from Permadri.

i bet it is. I hope that the snow clears up for you soon. And to think that its almost 60 up here in Maryland. north of CA and LA

A very productive day today on the big tank.

-Moved all the wiring out of the rafters
-Installed dual outlet which took care of wire that needed a destination.
-Found my missing circuit. Going to run outlets from it for all filtration needs.
-Decided to use two existing pulls of wire to put light fixtures above back of tank area.
-Cut 6 3" holes for the bulkheads; 2 for the C2C overflow and 4 for the other filtration.
-Test fit C2C overflow. Need to make adjustments before final fit.
-Test installed bulkheads with screens. They'll be removed before coating tank.
-Moved 135 out of fish room.

WOW, you went low with the screened bulkheads!

 

[nolapete]

The center of them is 6" off the bottom.
