bump for a friend in need
 
I don't think there is enough forgiveness in the world for spending the day working on a fish tank on Valentines day. :nilly:



...so far there hasn't been talk about the next work day's date. I think the rock still needs to be delivered too.
 
I recently got back from wrapping up some loose ends in the tank. The tank had to be drained so we could replace a leaking fitting under it. I had tried to patch the leak with epoxy, but it was a bigger leak than the epoxy could seal.

To get the replacement parts in, I had to use flex pipe and some ingenuity (I define ingenuity as carefully chosen swear words and a really big pry bar). Anyway, the new parts look different than the old stuff but it does the job the same.

And we were able to get the fill water going (no leaks this time). The new mechanical filter keeps the water really clear.
