220 saga continued

I have never in my life had a tank give me so much gried as this one to get set up. Maybe it is an omen..as clearly, from the timeframe involved already it hasn;t been rushed...

The new sump works..however the bulkheads are stillr efusing to seal properly. SO drip drip every time no matter what. I am almsot at the point of siliconning the darn thing sin or using plumbers putty...I would rather they jsut seal!!!

Other than needing to get some spa flex pipe, I should be good to go at this point (providing the bulkheads seal).  I will try again this weekend.

Well, it has been an 8 week saga on the sump I wanted. After 3 attempts to ship me one intact, and three broken sumps, I got my money refunded and settled for a lesser sump only. I got an ADHI Berliner 45. I ordered it last Friday and received it this morning, intact!! YAY!!

Well, about a month ago Leah and I picked up Raven's 220. What a beautiful tank!! Zach came up to Kentucky with us ans we had fun getting it drained. Danny, as usual ended up almost crawling into the tank to get things done.
