I like the light. I think it makes a perfect QT light.
Thank you Gemmy, I like the light too, YAY I have a SWF tank in my house and its got a light too WOOT WOOT.. I just tested my water after adding some Salt to it earlier and now the SG is 1.027
I think I am going to let it run for the night and check it in the morning.. If it is still 1.027 I will have to add some RO/DI water to it to see if I can get it down to 1.025..

Well picked up the glass for my baffles today, so I just might try my hand at putting them in my sump this weekend if I can get the silicone for them.. If I go Lowes what kind do I get??

YAYYYYYYY....we are getting more stuff.....any bonus yet

Nope not yet one of the manages said that he might wait until next week, but who knows.. I know that I should next week get my Sick time buy back tho, as for the bonus
I was kind of disappointed that he did not do the Sick time buy back this week, so that means if we get it next week then it wont be until Christmas Eve when I can cash my check.. =/

That does stink....so anyone who may be counting on that for Christmas shopping is really screwed
Yes that it is. He is the boss though you know, he doesnt have to give it to us if he does not want to you know. Its not something that you should expect or count on you know. I did not count on the bonus to get the tank I am just counting on my sick time buy back you know.. So I really do hope that I at least get that.. He did the same thing last year when he gave the bonus he waited until the last minute to give it to us. Only had like 18th to give it so gave only like 4 or 5 days got people to shop.. Oh well I have another check coming and then if he does the buy back I will be set for the tank and stand at least.. got most of the other stuff you know...

This is what I used to re-seal my tank. I don't know what brand Lowes carries but the stuff on the left (Dap) I got at home depot, it's clear...the stuff on the right I got at *****, it's black. The Dap stuff from home depot was like $4 for a tube. You'll probably want to get at least 3 tubes to make sure you have enough.

Scott if want a quick drawing I can put something together - get me the sump dimensions and the sizes you need for your return and fuge, it really does not take me long and makes it easier for you to lay it out when you are building it.

Corey put a sketch in there some where and sent me how I needed to put the baffles that is how I got what size the glass needed to be but if you can make it simpler than his you can try. I told you that I am not handy, if this comes out right it will surprise even me. LOl Tank is a 20 gal long.

The glass is nice and thick too, I told then I needed 1/4" thick glass and they even buffed the edged on it too.. Lol. I have 3 pieces that are 11 3/4" X 8", 2 pieces that are 11 3/4" X 9", 2 pieces that are 8" X 4" for the bubble trap..

No problem, If you have a drawing that is great, I am working on my GFCI plugs for my FW build, I have a hard time getting into small places I should have changed the plug before I built the stand. Let me know if you need anything.
