INDY DIY GUYS

[Pharaoh]

Well, now that phase one of the fish room has been completed. I am pausing for the cause and setting up tanks in defferent areas. I will be setting up the 70G Bowfront in "The Lounge". Then comes setting up the 150 in the living room. I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

I already have the 70 in the room, just have to clean it and find some rocks/decorations.

The 150 will need a skin put on the outside of the stand to gussy it up before taking into the house. (Boses orders )

Keep on truckin'

Yesterday the wife and I got a lot of work done. I call it Prep work. Pharaoh came over after work and then helped with all the heavy lifting. We moved the old 120 out of the way and took the old sump out to be moved to under the 135. We then took the old stand out. After that we bolted the third stand in place and placed the three 120s on the stand. We then placed the overflows in place and started plumbing. We began to run out of time so I did not finish the return. I will work on that today. We moved the mbuna out of the 135 and drained it. We took the old sump and pulled the 135 out place and put the sump under. We then turned the tank around. I started filling the tanks and moved fish into place.

Yeah now that's what I'm sayin'...][V][ONSTER !!!

Yeah the hard part is done,
but I am not envious of your weekly maintenance and water change job!...

Looks really really great Brother...enjoy and keep on goin!

Are you kidding this inside water changes are going to be so much easier now! Before I had a bunch of little tanks. Those are a pain to clean. I think cleaning bigger tanks is much easier!

Okay, I got the return finished, and place in some more holey rock and the rest of the peacocks for their tank. Now, I have to go to a stupid wedding crap the next two days. So I will test the overflows tonight and then turn everthing on tomorrow. I will then take so more pictures. I still have to get the fishroom shared air pump and walls up. Looks like I will not have it done for the cook out!

More pictures after the weekend!
