LOL... If you still have him when this thing is cycled, yes. It's funny. Since November I've spent every day thinking about what I have to do next. It's strange being here and not having much more to do or think about. I've got to build the "tent" which consists of some 1" pvc and some clear acrylic and that's about it.

I'm curious how long it's going to take me to stabilize the water with the concrete. I can't exactly saltwater treat it. That would be a lot of salt! I'm hoping that by filling it 2 or 3 times and finally running a fair amount of peat through the system that it will lower the ph. We'll see I guess.

My buddy works for a landscaper and they have a contract on a big lake down here. They just happened to be collecting driftwood this past week to burn! :WHOA: I told him to pick me out a few pieces. Thankfully he got me 2 huge driftwood stumps before they burned it all. He said the had a few hundred tons of driftwood. I told him they should've collected it and sold it. A local furniture shop (only place I found that sells big driftwood) wanted $200 for a stump!!! :screwy:

lets not get too carried away. I don't think my wife would approve of 50 piranhas considering we have a 2 year old who is just as much into fish as her old man :D She wants to feed them, and I want her to be able to feed them. LOL. Anyway, my wife and I have started referring to this project as "The Exhibit" because it looks like a public aquarium exhibit. :headbang2
