Re: 6.6 gal. Home made

I'v been wanting to do a complete DIY project for a long time. I'v done sumps and stuff like that, but I always wanted more. I'll be excited to see it hold water on monday.

As for making it LOOK easy. The project went prity smooth, the only major set back was puting on the sides and relizing that they wernt perfectly square, but we made do.

Well, monday after work will be the big test day, as long as my wife doesn't go into labor. So it there's no updates by monday night I probly wont get to it for a little wile, but I will be back once we get home from the hospital and setteld in.
Thanks for checking in-

Well,maybe not.But I'm sure if you was building for a paying customer,it would turn out perfect.

Re: 6.6 gal. Home made

Its funny when I pull into the parking lot at night. The light from my 20 gal. in my (soon to arive) doughters room glows so bright. I'm suprised the cops havn't showed up yet to "check out the sceen"
