Emerald525 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Today was the big day for the build!(clap)(clap) Here's the tank a 40B we bought from badguitarist: Here's the sump donated by Davy Jones! Beth dry fitted everything at home! Nice job with the plumbing Beth!(clap)(clap) Driving in the pouring rain! First stop Nick at Rosecity to get the saltwater and ro/di water!(clap) Filling up 45 gallons of saltwater! Nick collecting live sand for the project and he also donated a piece of live rock! The entrance to the Holladay annex and Beth hiding! Marcus (Jackaninny) Beckie's hubby, and little Marcus (I'm bad with names) bringing in the stand! Jackaninny performing his TFT build interpretive dance before the build!(clap)(laugh) Stand and sump in place and Markdadof2 planning it out! Putting in the rocks! Just add water!(clap)(clap) Little Marcus wondering why I'm taking his picture!(laugh) Beth aquascaping! It's wise to keep your distance when she does this! I usually have to leave the room!(laugh) A little help with the aquascaping!(clap) Getting full! Beth looking not to confident the pump will work! Markdadof2 fixing it! Fortunately folks Garrett just gave me a nice replacement pump!(clap) Beckie's son hamming it up while we try to get the pump to work! I see a Wheel of Fortune career in your future!(laugh) Yes it all came together! (rock2)(rock2)(clap)(clap) Marc's son again wondering what's with all the pictures!(laugh) Thanks everyone for all the help and donations!
