Here is the update from today's action. I was working by myself, so a couple things were a little tough to get lined up. But it was manageable I guess. LOL

They don't really give specs on how many gallons it will treat due to the variance in amounts used by the water company. I ahve a test kit so I can keep an eye on it.

Bobby, I e-mailed them when I was setting my filter up last year and was told that the cartridges are good for about 5000 gallons. I usually change mine around that time and have yet to have a problem.

Cool. Looks like I might be going through quite a bit of carbon when I am up and running. Considering there will be about 1000 total gallons going. LOL

Here we go with the Sunday progress. Added in a little bit more framing starting to get ready for the skin. We also ran the drain line for the oveflow on the sump. I also realized that I will have to make/buy a custom sump to use in this setup. There won't be a lot of room to work a standard tank under there.
Also, as you can see, per my sister, we were required to get at least one fish into the setup by this weekend. LOL

And Zenn, you though my MS Paint skills were good. Prepare to be stunned.

So what type of fish is that? I notice it's blue. So I may guess an Acei? Yes, I would most definitely say an Acei!
