Update: "1 step forward... 2 steps back"
I got the painted spraybar hooked up today... and also made one of the dumbest mistakes in my fish keeping career...
Leaning over the beer fridge, I used a scrap piece of copper tubing to fish out the Fx5 wire from behind the tank. I grab the power bar and figure I'd connect it now since I have the fridge pulled out. *insert Niagara Falls sound effect*
Stupid me! I forgot to connect the tubing to the Fx5 first! I also didn't realize that the power bar was switched on. About 45min later I finish drying off all my DVD's!
I put the thing through a test run with media in the filter. Turns out, I under estimated the flow rate of the Fx5 and the holes I drilled in the acrylic sheet are nowhere near adequate. Now I have to drain the tank half way and add more holes, or make them bigger. Frustrating day overall. I have no patience left to drill that thing today.
Oh well. We can't learn without making mistakes.
