~Crystal & James 29g w/15g sump~

Going to buy the last of our plumbing, hopefully. Also, getting some glass cut for our baffles. Then, coming back to do some more work. ;)

Calling the Craigslist seller back today and going to check out more stuff he's selling. He has a skimmer & lights for sale. Hopefully, we'll get some more good deals today!

Plumbing finished! Waiting on baffles to dry so that we can get some water flowing :)

That's a pretty intense DIY project. Great job!

I couldn't disagree more.. lol my boyfriend did it all :bowdown: I think he became a carpenter and a plumber while doing our tank lol!


Well, baffles are dry now.. water is going in for the first time to see if they leak. Then, today we will have water flow for the first time.. *fingers crossed* that everything goes well!

Update: We got a light yesterday.. great deal! It's the "Coralife 24'' Aqualight w/ 1-65w actinic/1-65w 10,000k w/fans :) We got it for $50 from our Craigslist guy!
