150 Gallon Build Thread ... From the Start

[WaywardSon]

buahahaha bk always knew you were going to go with doors (same way he knows you will be going with black gravel :evil_lol: )

Great progress so far
You get the ferts yet? or will be stealing from your 45g batch

The toughest part about the "sale" of the black gravel is the fact that we have the river rock (lol) in the 45 and it looks so **** good.

To start with I will be stealing from the 45 - got a full box of Pfertz just a couple of days ago. Ferts $$ will certainly start adding up with the 150 - should really look at an alternative!

Progress ~~

A few more items just arrived -

3 cooling fan units (with 4 fans in each) - Vader's suggested brand

Python (see ya' old red bucket)

Glass diffuser with built in check valve (the flash kinda' blocked it out)

Digital timer

MagFloat

I even added the DFS box for Vader (we all know how he loves them - lol)

:headbang2FS boxes rule. You're gettting quite the collection of stuff now. Guess you need to work 24/7 now to get it done for us (I mean you) to see...

I knew the truth would eventually come out (LOL).

After it's done - I thought about putting together a live web feed so you can check the tank anytime you like (not)!!:headshake2::headshake2:

Time to start gluing up the canopy - should have some more pics tonight!

BTW - just used the new Python for the first time on the 45 - ridiculous!

^ lol how long did it take?

About 10 - 12 minutes start to finish - I found it's much easier to set the water temp before you start. The coolest part is role up the hose and you are done - the cleanup is sweeeeeeet!!

The toughest part about the "sale" of the black gravel is the fact that we have the river rock (lol) in the 45 and it looks so **** good but only because I have yet to see that black looks so much better!

fixed!
