Well, we got our stand built. We even stained it black! I have to say, for a first time carpenter.. my honey did a pretty good job. We got a great deal on our 15 gallon at Petsmart.. $20 on sale, originally $80. It was a setup kit. ;-)
Got almost all of our plumbing, mostly put together. Got our 1'' bulkheads & our 1 3/4'' hole cutter in the mail today, so I think we're gonna start drilling our 2 holes today! *Fingers crossed that it doesn't crack* We'll be drilling the back. 2 holes at the top, 1 for the return and 1 for our internal overflow box (custom built).
I think this weekend we'll be buying our glass & getting it cut for the 4 baffles we'll have in our sump. Probably get our plumbing finished and getting ready for fun stuff.
Got a great deal on a hydor powerhead (free w/ P2S), sweeper powerhead & pump. Still have to buy another powerhead, ro/di, lights, skimmer & heater. But, we found a guy that is selling alot of saltwater stuff.. if he still has some this w.end we may be going back. Thank you Craigslist! :)
Will post more pictures soon... and more updates too! This is so exciting!:^:
