Well the day has come. I just finished the set up of the tank. Its been a long 6 months of learning, changing equipment, spending $ and reading. I learned so much from SWF.com and others namely Aquatica here in Raleigh. Got some great deals on equiment and frags, thanks Grumpygils. So here it is the 75 gallon with sump that I did myself. Not to blow the horn but I am proud that I finally did it. Funny to look back at my first couple posts and not even know what a skimmer is. The most rewarding thing is now that I have learned this myself no matter what happens not only do I understand but I can fix it myself. Of everything I am most proud of the sump!
And despite the fact that I got TOTALLY hosed over by the douche bag father and son tandem known as Down Under in Garner, NC I must thank them because if they had not completely worked me over as they so perfectly did then I would have never learned as much as I did. So in a way I am thankful that things happened the way they did....
I have learned that patience is the key, buy quality equipment the first time around and listen and respect everyone's opinion, wether good or bad you can take something from it. So I wish I could post all the pics I have taken today but I will just leave the 5 I can. Thanks to those you helped me on the board!
