i put the tank on the stand and filled it just to see if it would fall over or not... its been up overnight.. so far so good... one side is about 3/4 of an inch higher than the other... its my patio not the stand... ill score some foam this week and get the stand finnished... i need to do some work on the floor before i can bring this badboy in the house.. i know it will hold.. but i dont want it to bend or bounce... which also means i need to move the 10g invert tank and the 30g gsp tank as well as the massive chest of drwars they sit on... and i need to move a bookshelf... .. ... gah...
Ummm, what do you think?...half-rack ought to do it?:D;):D;)

Call a few friends over and pay them in beer. Ask that they drink it AFTER moving all your stuff. Waiting for updates on the canopy. I like how you hinge it to open at the front
 
i dont have friends thats why i keep fish :)

(im the guy that didnt say more than 20 words at the socal meet)

today i spend some time with my gf and her kid... tomorrow is for the fish.. ill see what i can get done.. i have a feeling im going to spend part of the day under the house building overbracing the floor.. that should be pretty quick though so after that ill see what i can get done..

im gunna need more beer...
 
this project has gone straight downhill...

the tank is now full of water.. theres a filter on it.. a bunch of driftwood and some plants....


its still in the backyard... i really wish it wasnt in the middle of the patio...


the pbass are now in the 55 community tank... they have about another 1/2 inch before they are big enough to start picking off my otos.... which means i have like 2 weeks to get the floor braced cuz these suckers are growing super fast..

i really wish it would stop being so hot... after working on a roof all day the last thing i want to do when i get home is crawl around under the house... ugh...

more beer?
 
i think so... ive been hitting the rum and coke durring the week... i think its time to go back to beer..
 
the stand is in the house.. the bookshelf got stashed in the kids room.. setting the tank up where i originaly planned looks like total hell so things are getting moved around more..
the greenspot puffer tank and the shrimp tank are going to where i was going to put the 75.. the 75 is now going infront of the window which means it will be right over a support beam so i dont have to crawl under the house.. ive also decided im just going to use 2 ac110s insted of a sump which will leave me room underneith for storage...

im on call this weekend so im tryin not to get too involved in this cuz soon as i get to an important point ill end up getting a call... well.. ok thats part of the reason.. the main problem is that im having to do this sober..
 
its so nice out right now... i almost feel like i should crawl under the house and build up the floor just for kicks... but alas....


too sober to play with power tools :(
