Bottom has been sealed. Top trim has been finished. All nails wood filled and sanded, all gaps filled in, hopefully finish bottom trim today, get a few supplies, and plumb tomorrow...

Still need to make the corner trim peices.

May not get wet until next weekend at this rate.

Near disaster in the current frag tank Tuesday. Despite a nem gaurd the largest bubble tip nem found the power head. It gave itself a substantial hair cut. The water was cloudy and there were bits of nem everywhere. I did a 15 gallon water change, vacuumed out the nem peices and tried to get some carbon going. I did not lose any fish. I did lose 1 teal trumpet, a torch, a chalice, 2 acros, and all my pink Hyacinth birdsnest (fine yesterday rtn today). Everything else looks as good as it has been. Here is a pic from yesterday.

Don't mind the messy glass...

Today I got the plumbing stuff for the new system. I got the drains roughed in. I'll make final adjustments and actually glue it tomorrow.

I thought I bought extra Ts and elbows and unions. Turns out... not enough elbows.
This is going to be a weird plumbing job. My return pump might be a bit to big to many gph..... the exit from the pump is 1.5 inches. The returns and loc line are 3/4 inch... so 50% reduction. What I plan to do is T off the return before reducing and put water back into the first sump chamber. I'll control how much with a valve. I run natural systems. Water movement only. No mechanical no skimmer. Lots of rock (in sump).
