Yes Bobby! Been playing a bunch of soccer, 3 games per week, trying to get my sexy Dad Bod back in shape! Ive also been working up at Chester Aquaria in my spare time, nights and weekends. You know how it goes, your tank gets the slack!
But
For
The
Updates....
... I ordered the doors for the canopy, I have finished constructing it finally. It is sealed and primed and now ready for actual paint. I have sanded it after each priming, 3 layers total. Final primed layer is as smooth as 1500 grit wet sand. Going for the high quality finish. I have a fancy paint gun that I use with my 50g air compressor. I built the canopy first this time since I never ever got to it on my 120g. I didn't give my self an excuse this time. I want and need a pretty set up, its going to have to last a while...
... I changed my mind and I am adding doors to the side of the stand for easier access and to match my shnazzyyy canopy, small delay there BUT hopefully cutting and routing the openings this weekend. This is the main reason the tank doesn't have water though, our "Little Mermaid" loves to climb under the tank and play with the sump and dropping her toys in, so to avoid a possible drowning or electrocution, Im waiting patiently to finish the stand, and baby proofing by adding some locks.
... The rockscape, like always, has been a work-in-progress. I want to get it as close to perfect as possible, and as solid as possible. I am using acrylic rods and epoxy. I keep finding rocks I like, but its like I only find 1 or 2 at a time, getting close though!...
... Plumbing is finished and fully tested. ZERO leaks, and absolutely dead silent! I am running 2 full siphon drains (1 per corner overflow), 1 emergency drain (left overflow), and 1 return (right overflow).
Door design we have finally decided on. It is a weebit on the pricey side considering I'll end up ordering 10 doors total, but it'll definitely be pretty, which is all that wifey wants and to be able to lock it up so the baby doesn't use the sump as a hot tub, pool, or shower!
