Just finish reading this thread from the beginning and what a bummer?! No updates lately...:nilly:
I thought there woulda have been a picture of the finish product when I got to the last page.
Either way, awesome project and still waiting for the outcome...:grinno:
 
I think an Arapaima ate him!
 
Shees...se!! been out of the internet for about a month since moving house to this new one with the fish room. Busy busy etc with the house painting. redone the grills colors etc.. The Internet provider was not able to reconnect the services at the new premises due to the phone cable being unavailable at the new house. After waiting weeks for them to sort it out (Still no telephone line at the moment) had to cancel their services and opted for a new one (Different Service provider) which is using a wireless modem which make use of the available gprs, WCDMA mobile network. Should have done that earlier.

It's been a month. now and as a quick update the filter system is up and running for the last 2 weeks. Will rewind the events in a few more postings asap. Just got the net up this hour.

Cheers.
