I made it a little taller than I normally would but it should do the trick.

it was and extremely tight fit to get it in the stand but once in there I have a little wiggle room.

Tomorrow my 2 vortech mp10's will be showing up. I slid the skimmer in the sump. I still have to make my little media rack to hold carbon and gfo. all in all its starting to come together. Rock came today as well. waiting on my marco rocks mortar to show up and then I can make my structure.


Ordered one last toy today... a new camera. a canon T3i . That way I can get some better shots of the empty tank...lol

Question. Do you need anything to hold the walls up while assembling or does it dry quick enough to not need anything?

well you should probably clamp it. But I use weld on 3 that sets up really quick. I put one piece on and hold it there for about 5 min and go onto the next piece.I will use weights to hold pieces down sometimes.


ok 2 boxes today....

One with 2 mp10's
and then another new toy...

Can't make it out...is it the new T4i, or the T3i?

I am intending to buy one of the above, just not sure which.

Nice build by the way. :)

Not yet a good friend has his up for sale. I need to get the tank running first though. Going to try to get the pumps mounted and maybe get some plumbing done today. It would be nice to have it ready to go and start filling it with water
