the 125 is waiting on my next pay check, in about 3 weeks it should arrive. With that I buy the materials for the stand, and then i set up all the pieces Ive accumulated over the last 6 months. I already have everythign, sand,salt,pumps,lights,skimmer,sump,fuge everything!
Jsut waiting on a stand to put it all on top of.
Final assembly should begin middle of next month.
The 28gal nano is going agonizingly slow. Its my dads, but he isnt nearly as excited as me. He does it in spurts, sigh.
Waiting on him to install the RO-DI unit, so i can at least mix water and fill it...i cant install it because he wont let me touch the plumbing in his house...paranoid old man, I cant change that about him...i gave up long ago.
He still needs to do his rock wall, but hasnt baught the materials yet. He still needs to order the LR, and he claims hes doing that on monday...well see. So far you cant order LR if you dont evin have water in your tank. Its moving along...jsut slowly.
Congrats on the cheap holes..i am now in full agreement with you...$7 a hole is dirt cheap. Good job on the find.
My one word of advice on choosing the hole size, like people have already said...make the holes bigger than you initialy intend to use. You can always use a reducer or valve control.
I drilled 2"1/2 lines on mine, when all i need is 1"1/2. The extra sized lines will allow me to do future upgrades as needed. Ill put ball valves on it to control the water flow to reduce each drain line to about 600ish GPH. But if I need to, i got the option to beef it up.
