INDY DIY GUYS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So Pharoah, what would it take to get that 500? Not saying I could do it right now, but maybe in 6-12 months...
 
Well I torn down the 40B stand and build a dual 75 instead. It turns out that when i had the lowes guy cut the wood...(SUV is in the shop with less than 20000 miles on it, stupid computers) that he cut one board 48 instead of 48 1/2. Here I am trying to force a 75 in alone and it will not fit. I had to take it apart and cut a new board to fit... I was pissed. Still need to sell one of the 40B and then move another 75 over. Then make the new dual 55 stand. Once that is all done pick up a few more 20Ls and then make the 10 gallon stack. It will be done then...

So I really have no life. I read through all 121 pages today and got a ton of great ideas for when I buy my house. I cant imagine though how much money you guys have to spend on electricity and water every month. HAHA. Good job I enjoyed the read. Keep up the good work.
 
Moved the other 75 into place. Still need to tear down the 55 and and change the stand a bit to hold two 55s instead.

In the pictures you can see the moved and added 75 dual rack. You can see where the 75 was and that is where the new rack will go. Don't mind the mess. Been doing a lot of moving around. I forgot, the extra 75 came from the house. It was the shellie tank, that I upgraded to a 110.

Rebuilt the 55 rack today. I got the two 55s up. Now I just need my 20Longs to arrive. Then I have to build the 10g rack. Of course I still need to build the 125 stand and canopy.

So to do list


  1. 125 stand
  2. 125 canopy
  3. 110 canopy
  4. 120s canopy painted and sanded
  5. 10 gallon rack built
  6. tops for most of the fish room
  7. Lights for fish room
That's all I can think of right now.
