A little late night plumbing before bed.... If it passes the leak test tomorrow, then I will set it in place, finish the last few plumbing connections and start filling it.

Thanks. I found a plumbing supply that sells the stuff so cheap that I couldn't afford not to use flex. I had planned on using if I could find it all along, but when I found this stuff at $35 for 50 foot roll I damn near decided to build two I got so excited!

You cant beat that price.:D
And since we already know that you'll need more plumbing as you go,why not:D

I'm leak testing now and salt water is mixing... Wish me luck. Hopefully I will get to fill it tomorrow!

That's a partially filled and fully fully salted 125!!!
My trusty helper, Lou-dog, keeping an eye on the progress.
I got the overflows plumbed and will hopefully be finished filling before bed time.Then I will mix for a few days then get started glueing and aquascaping.

Looking good!! Do you have everything you need to get it going?

I have all the lighting, reflectors, powerheads, and LR I need but I still have to track down another 50-60# of sand, and a couple of loc-lines for the returns. I think I am otherwise all set. I am starting to get really excited! I have been wanting new livestock for a LONG time!

I have a 5 gallon bucket or two (I don't know how much exactly -- I'd have to check in my shed) of sand leftover from my 240 if you want it. It's dry, but it used to be live!

Thanks Sarah, That's awesome. If you want to get rid of it, I will gladly take it!

Well you know, it is doing an awesome job of decorating the storage shed next to my carport... I don't know...!
Sure, you can come get it anytime. I live on the NW side of town near Orange Grove and Thornydale. Very far from you! Don't worry -- it's not going anywhere, so even if it takes you a while to get up to this side of town, it's yours.

Thanks! I am planning to head to SWA to return their hole-saw and get my loc-lines this week so while I am there I will swing by your neck of the woods. In the move I found a shroom that went missing a while back. It is Bright White with a green mouth. It is AWESOME. I will get you one for your softie tank as soon as it splits. I will get a pic of it under the halides as soon as I get it into the new tank.

Well folks, I am nearing the completion of day 3 of mixing and I am still pretty cloudy... so I wait. I stopped and got some sand from Biff tonight. Thanks Biffy! It helps a lot. I got to meet Christian and the cats. The new house is awesome and I saw the tanks. I think Biff will be winning the nano contest! Hopefully my loc-lines will arrive tomorrow along with some clarity in my water so I can get this thing moving along :)
