still not done.
And I thought my 550 gallon pond was big. I used a liner in that one....working with the liner is a pain....mine was a 10'x12' and it was heavy.....yours will need some strong dudes to fold! Good luck, you are the most addicted aquarist ever!
Still working on Phase 1B. I'll post the progress pics when I'm done today.
Move the rest of the Eco-Complete to the 75.
Plant the 75 and add lights and CO2.
Repair and paint the stand for the 210.
Those are my priorities today.
I'm still waiting on my friend's price, but I did receive a quote from the plastics company. About $1325 for the 48x96x1.5 shipped and about $1675 for the 48x96x2 shipped. Not cheap, but low enough to be able to continue. I requested a quote on the 48x120 in each to see what the differences are.

No 48x120 sheets in either 1.5 or 2 custom run or not.
I'll probably go with the 2" even though I can get away with the 1.5" sheet.
3.5 cans of krylon indoor/outdoor flat black and I'm almost done. I had used half a can to paint the back of the 75 planted and the face of the light canopy for it. The stand looks really good. I'm going to do the canopy later as it needs a lot of modification to suit my purposes.
Grocery store time then move the remaining Eco-complete in the 40 to the 75, plant it. and get lights and CO2 on it.

You sir, are an animal :thm:
H2O changes on my 210 total gallons and I'm wiped; you must have boundless energy/enthusiasm.
I added a 5 gallon bucket of Eco-Complete/Natural Gravel to the 75 after removing all of it from the 40 long. I'm too wiped out to finish everything tonight.
I discovered that I have an immense amount of stuff in my fish room. Tomorrow, I'm going to start sorting it all out to see what is actually useful and what I need to get rid of. That is after I get all the other stuff done.
I've decided to use the 135 as a sump for one of the filter subsystems, so it's going to stay in the fish room for now. It needs a lot of work before it will be ready though. Glad that I'll only have to move the 210 on Saturday. That's going to be a pain to get in the house.

I thought it was pretty darn bare on the shelves...lol
Good to see you moving forward. It's an investment for the plexiglass but worth it to keep us all entertained...heheee...I mean, come on, you didn't think you where doing this for your own pleasure now do you?
Keep it up, we're watching you.
