Keep it going Mike.

Well, I know I haven't updated much. Been busy with work and trying to get the basement wrapped up. Finishing up the painting tonight and hoping to have the baseboard moulding put on tomorrow. Then I can move the 265 into place and get it set up.

I guess I'll have to do a massive download from the phone. Hopefully sometime today.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I had updated on my projects. I had to go back quite a few pages.

After setting up the tank shown on post #1092, it cracked down the back and I lost nearly every fish in the tank and had one heck of a mess on my hands.
So..... I picked up a new 125 to replace the old one. Here's a few pics of what happened and then the new tank.

EDIT: I can also show the new plumbing that went on the old 125 before it cracked. I was trying out hard plumbing the canister filters.

I've been focusing a lot of my time trying to get this little room finished up. I had forgotten that the last pic I posted was related to hanging drywall.

Here's the progress since then.

Looking good! How come you stopped about 12" down from the ceiling? Are you putting in a drop ceiling? And very dark blue! Its gonna be dark down there with the lights off, gonna set it up as a movie room or something?

Here is the latest and greatest when it comes to my updates. I just recently built the stand and moved the tank in. Had it occupied with fish within about 48 hours. Gotta love pre-seeded filters.:headbang2
