Fellow MFKer Needs Help-Arapaimaman needs help finishing 15000 gal tank Central FL

[robkob]

It's full right now but we haven't been back out there to get pics. Unfortunately it needs to be drained again so we can fix a minor leak that I'm sure was Ron's fault; my plumbing is flawless. And we'll be adding a pool filter and running another line back through the wall again (enjoy punching another hole Ron). Then the decorating starts.

Here's some more pics from days 1-3 ...

Yeah, I can't wait to get out there to get some pics too...with my own camera. If I can find it. I have been looking everywhere for it and I have been having fears that I left it under the tank.


Anyway, I checked all of the pictures and it isn't there.

By the way Everyone, the tank has been filled already but also drained (if I understood Pat correctly). It was filled from a well that had a sediment problem. It wouldn't settle out on its own and was too fine for the gravel filter to clear up. That is why we are adding the additional filter. It has a 30 micron pleated cartridge that is 90 square feet. That's the equivalent of a sock filter that is as long as five full size SUV's lined up end to end. Pat is going to have some awsome mechanical filtration.

Thats the greatest thing I've ever seen.
