Look at you showing off your jointery skillz! Very nice, better than mine!

That's one heck of a piece of wood, I shudder to think how much that cost you. Fingers crossed you found a good deal.

Can't wait to see some fish in there. What's the plan?

Great job, everything looks good. Are you doing a fishless cycle

 

[Joefish]

Thanks guys, I added some black fin tetras to speed things up, the plan is a pleco heavy tank with Altifrons

It was a score of a piece of Malaysian driftwood it stands super tall too!

looks really really nice. how would you disconnect the piping from the tank, if you needed to move/sell the tank? why does it look like you have two sumps brand new in the box? how did you choose a pump with that setup?

Thats what the unions that he has plumed in are for, a tank with plumbing coming out of the bottem of the tank needs to either have the bulkheads taken out or just trasported laying on its side or upsidedown.

Thanks for chimeing in and that is correct , the unions allow for removal for the most part , most of all
It allows me to remove the sump and pump , i always leave room in case I have to cut pvc to transport , "just in case"
