Somebody stole my creditcard number when I ordered my 2 mag18s and charged 300 bucks worth of stuff from walgreens in Oklahoma and i need to order another pump but I am scared to.
This sucks!!!
use american express card for online purchases, they have the best customer service when it comes to stuff like these. Not sure how they can use a C/C without the actual card since it sounds like they used it in store and not online. Might have your identity stolen............

Its kinda going slow with a pregnant wife, a 2 year old and working 60hrs a week but here is my progress so far.
































I wish i would have stuck with one color on the tile but i am hoping it will grow on me.

Next is to finish the plumbing and start on the lights and hood.

yea looks interesting, but i dont know about it. are the edges sharp?
I dulled all the sharp edges by tapping on them with a hammer.
The more i look at it the more i dislike it.
Im going to put my drift wood in and see what it looks like then and if I still dont like it im going to try pulling it up and only tile the bottom.

Im really not that much into tiled tanks but i think it might look better than bare bottom.

Oh yeah, you can just say that its ugly. I know I do.

I cant believe nobody chimed in to say how ugly the tiles came out!!!

But really, I just got finished pulling up the top 2 layers of tile. Now i have to go back and remove all of the silicone with a razor.
I also decided to go back and do another coat of novus before i fill the tank up enough to start soaking my drift wood.

PS, the tank will look like the first two pics from post #54

The 2-tone is ugly. Glad you're going back to a solid color.

Yeah the tile looked pretty bad. Didn't want to say anything though, but since you mentioned it :)
