I'm not sitting on that stool!!!!

 

[BIGGUN]

You do realize that all of the water is going to fall out of it that way, right?

Shouldn't you be sleeping?

I see what you did there....

 

[BIGGUN]

Shouldn't you be sleeping?

I SHOULD be...... I'm just celebrating finishing the bathroom, just to find out that the brand new PEX I ran has a leak in the line itself not at a connector. AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

 

[hybridazn]

Any updates?

 

[fetta]

Not really just painting plywood and skinning stand, very slow process along with kids sports, hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be able to spend a little more time on it....

 

[fetta]

Well got it skinned with plywood, still unsure how i want to finish it (hardwood floor, or stain grade .25" plywood)

Now on to cleaning tank...

 

[hybridazn]

What type of wood did you use for the skin?

 

[acer]

Purdy....

 

[fetta]

What type of wood did you use for the skin?

3/8" plywood

 

[hybridazn]

3/8" plywood

Oak, blonde wood, ac, BC? Lol

 

[fetta]

Oh heck i don't it was cheap 5 layer plywood....not stain or paintable grade...just enough for bracing and racking purposes...lol
Thinking of getting 1/4" birch to go over it so i could paint or stain it unsure as of yet

 

[Acro maniac]

Hows it coming along?

 

[fetta]

No progress, to much going on right at the moment with the kids. But i do have a frag tank coming soon too

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Looking good so far!

 

[fetta]

Ok so not much progress, but i am at the point ready to drill tank for over but unsure on what i want to do, c2c, ghost....what are some recommendations. I want least amount of real estate , but with good flow and surface skimming.....and go

 

[BIGGUN]

C2C!!! If it can be a bit away from the wall you can have very little intrusion in the tank like Ted's with the weir on the inside and the box on the outside to house the Bean Animal plumbing. If not you can put the overflows and box in the tank with I believe approximately a 4 1/2" by 5" box the length of the tank. I was thinking of angling mine at 45 degrees to see if it gives a mirror effect. I don't think it will with water on both sides but I've been TOO lazy to stick a piece of glass in the water.

 

[hybridazn]

I love my c2c but hate that I made it internal. There are a few places that make nice overflow boxes that are very close to a c2c that utilize a exterior box. If I were to do it over that would be the route I would take.
