Some pics during construction of my 540g

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I finished the plumming. The drains will be painted the same color as the tank and are adjustable so I can set the water level. I still need to make a spray bar, but I'm going to try to run it tomorrow.
 
looking mint... keep up great work
 
I just read the directions for the pvc cement. It cures in only 2 hrs. I thought it took 24. I'm going to try it tonight.

I change my mind every day about what fish I'm going to get. I definately want an aro :D . I have some bala sharks that I'm going to move, a festae if one of the ones I have is a female, a fire eel , and either a tigrinus or giraffe cat. I'm sure I'll change my mind a hundred more times before I'm finished stocking it.

In case anyone was wondering, if you have an ampmaster 3000, and 2 x 2" drains, you don't have enough drains. They keep up, but just barely. I am deffinately not comfortable with it. Luckily, I have a spare 1.5" bulkhead w/screen. I'll add that tomorrow. Other than that and I have to tighten the drain that came with the horse trough(it leaked a drop every few minuits), the filter is performing perfectly. I tried to get pics, but the camera is out of batteries. I'll have more either tomorrow or Thursday.
