It was a little awkward, usually people at least clean the glass for meetings.

I did clean it in the morning, Algae just grows that fast

I hear man sized tangs really help out with that green stuff, maybe give one or eight of those things a try.

I'll add a few of my pictures that I liked. Jon I've uploaded more of my pictures/video for you to have on a Dropbox.

You can tell this one was my favorite to photograph.

And a shot of the entire tank which no one else seems to have taken or at least posted yet

New PVC sump (72x36x24) and tank (48x24x24)are finally shipping seems like it has taken forever to get this manufactured. I am looking forward to making the switch and setting up the new additional tank. Tank is setup so you can drop a 4" sock into the overflow to catch eggs when fish are spawning.

Is that red silicone or a pinstripe around at bottom and up the sides?

So are you moving the Joculators into this "love nest" or are you going to surprise us with another outstanding pair?

Planning on a filter sock to fit the overflow is genius! Who gets credit for that?

Double post

those are hotweld stripe, extra to help hold the bond.

 

[Gary]

Yup, looks just like the CAD model. Can I post up a CAD rendering Jon?

 

[Jonty]

Sure, that would be a good comparison.

I think I do , but my memory is crap these days

 

[Jonty]

I'm going to play with an Interrupts pair. and a couple of other interesting things.

Advanced Acrylics in California, the have built a lot of tanks and Sumps for me over the years the current sump was fabricated by them. They just started offering PVC a few months ago, dreading how much this is going to weigh I am going to need a few folks to get everything moved around.
