pwhitby · #**381** 03/17/2006, 11:38 AM

well its all drilled, the plumbing is ready to be installed. By the end of today I expect to have water in and circulating. Ill just do about 200g as a test first.

captbunzo · #**382** 03/17/2006, 12:14 PM

Pics, man, we need pics!!! (at least when you get the water in there)

dugg · #**383** 03/17/2006, 12:50 PM

Just for the sake of captbunzo's nightmares, i found this while searching for a mermaid costume lol. I didn't know you were paying for this tank by modeling after hours.

pwhitby · #**384** 03/17/2006, 12:58 PM

Does that make my butt look big?

dugg · #**385** 03/17/2006, 01:02 PM

We'll leave that up to captbunzo to decide lol. If you want i could have one of those shipped to you for tank pics.

Paul, you just need a little more self-confidence.

captbunzo · #**387** 03/17/2006, 01:21 PM

Your butt? Nope, but your boobs are looking mighty fine!!!

Oh wait, did I say that out loud? Ahh!!!!

That is too funny guys.

pwhitby · #**395** 03/17/2006, 07:57 PM

Alien,

we have a Photo of the month competition in our club. I think Gwalker was trying to say that with my photogenic looks I would be a serious contender. To me it seems unfair of me to enter such a picture since it has a great central feature (me), has great composition and shows my fabulous fashion sense.

NOW>>>> can we get back to the serious part of this thread...

----I have water in my tank! --------

dugg · #**396** 03/17/2006, 08:24 PM

One last pic. I thought since Lynn is so much better looking than you are, she needed to have a costume too.

Now we have a photo of the month lol. COMAS little mermaid family.

pwhitby · #**397** 03/17/2006, 08:57 PM

Ohhhhhh....Lynn is mad.

My costume is better than hers. THANKS! she just walked out ...grumbling as she went. For some reason its my fault.

BTW 6 inches of water....

pwhitby · #**398** 03/17/2006, 09:41 PM

half full......and thats where the fun stops for the night

All the bulkheads are behaving and no signs of ...well I wont temp fate.

Thanks for the fun pics. I had a laugh.

P.

pwhitby · #**399** 03/17/2006, 10:08 PM

Here are a few pics of the work I have been doing on the tank. Fitting bulkheads.

These are the 4 returns under the tank, they come in the middle (approximately)

and here is the back of the tank:

4 returns to the tank that will be behind the rock under the PVC rack. You can also the bulkheads for the pump returns in the middle between the overflow boxes.

Paul.

alien9168 · #**400** 03/17/2006, 10:21 PM

Neat plumbing- I'll be interested to see how it shapes up.

is your wife really mad paul, or are you being sarcastic?
I hope your not in trouble lol
