yes so far so good..........90% of plumbing has been move to the new side.....:headbang2:headbang2

Great news! I kind of like the current setup with the pipes right up by the front glass. I've seen a bunch of fish recently that I had never seen in there before, including that nice fat royal pleco you've got in there.
 
Wow. I just read the whole post. Fascinating stuff.

I disagree. When I started reading the post I thought the project was done and my hubby and I were wondering why someone would build this amazing tank and just have a pile of pipe for aquascaping. Now I'm excited that I get to watch as you take the wall out.

I hope you will be able to have two cameras as previously mentioned so that we can see both sides.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I don't know how you find the time to do all this, work, see your family and keep us all updated with your adventure.

And I wasn't confusing the 'Pimas - Sam did look like he'd lost weight! Must be all that extra swimming space - he's gettin in shape!

Aesthetically, I don't really care for the pile of pipes. I like it because I have been able to see certain fish that I had never seen on the camera before.

John, good luck on getting Sam to move to his new home. Have you tried using food to tempt him?

tried it a little...........

was thinking about a bag of 500 feeders.... or slowly over several days cutting off space in the old side hoping to encourage him to swim to the new side
