Lol. I'm trying man I'm trying

So I had to order some Weld On #4 in order to glue some plexiglass together. Just when I think it's time to start, I don't have everything I need

 

[05spooln]

Change of plans with the plexiglass. Il be cutting glass baffles and using the plexiglass for a basket. Hopefully by Thursday I will have some production pics

 

[05spooln]

Finally some time for some progress

Looks really nice, great craftsmanship. Is the egg crating for chaeto/frags?

Thanks man! Well my thoughts were to run filter floss, purigen and chemi pure hanging underneath

Look forward to seeing this come along, I've always wanted to try ponies

I would recommend looking into a filter sock instead of the floss, easier to deal with IMHO and you could throw some media in it too if space becomes an issue

Thanks Red! Was thinking about socks at first but realized I have a but load of bulk floss. Once done I could always change it out

 

[05spooln]

Had to cut and redo a baffle as I tested for flow. Hope to get pump and drill for bulkhead next week. And try and start plumbing

 

[05spooln]

Trying to figure out a way to make a water deflector similar to InTank to draw it even from the first chamber. Any ideas? Plexiglass with some holes drilled at an angle?

Looking at Kuda pair but nothing really set in stone right now. Just trying to get the sump finalized and then on to the plumbing. Not too much longer hopefully then of course a cycle and all that fun waiting stuff

 

[05spooln]

New water deflector made tonight and a coral viewer just because I had extra material. Next week bulkhead, plumbing, and testing
