Good thing you can grow massive colonies Sam. You may not want to snorkel in that tank.

Thanks for the info on Marc. I may give him a call and see. When is yours done?

Have anyone used either of the following methods to take out minor scratches in your tank:

1.using an non gel toothpaste with baking soda to polish area gently for 1min and repeat until the scratch is gone

Or

2. Using a clear nail polish, then let it sit for 1hr to cured, then use nail polish remover to remove excess

Thanks to Seth & Jim! We finally started plumbing!!!! It will be a long process with planning and problem solving. looking at these pics do not do it justice. we spent alot of time on it.

I was able to clean up the garage a bit and restructure and outfit the canopy with support so we can use it as a stand for the 2 water storage tank on the left. it's a new setup we gonna use for making water top off and water change simple.

upcoming weeks:
1. trying to figure out how to salvage the ocean motion parts (missing several links from the existing hose to the tank) and plumbed into the tank.
2. ordering more plumbing parts that can only be found online like pvc gate valve
3. backup motor/pump for the main return
4. more plumbing lol9a8eb8a4db45daaa05ccecf758654057.jpg653b5783c8f50f30787fabfd7025524a.jpg13278eea77bd43411e0371866b6900ac.jpg9893a9db5e0a485f247e4cc260a155c6.jpg
