Guiness' last post was 5/24. I'm eagerly awaiting an update (pic or no pic :thumbsup: ). Anyone heard anything?

Not can't, can. It's almost done. I got the pvc to complete the last drain today. I should be able to get the gravel by this weekend. I need to order two more strainers and reconstruct the spraybar(The pump was supposed to have 1.5" inlet and outlet, but when it came, it was 2"). That's all that's left for it to be done. I'm just waiting for payday(Thursday).

P.S. He only has 3 posts, I'm assuming he meant he can't see the pics.

The last drain is complete, and the gravel is going in tonight.
All that's left to do is:
1. Build spraybar/paint all pvc in tank blue to match walls and back.
2. Run electric supply(it's getting it's own 2 circuits from the breakerbox).
3. Lighting (2X4' twin tube fixtures from Home Depot + 2 spot lights to creat ripple effect throughout the tank).
4. Wait for the last 2 drain strainers to come in (Ordered today). I thought I had one for the 1.5" but I didn't, and last time I forgot to order one for the pump inlet inside the filter.
5. Trim it into the wall(but this can wait).
6. Have a party with a big smile on my face(this can't wait).
