So far the tank is NOT leaking. I have it 1/2 full of water.. About to dump PFS into it to get it a bottom, and then I am waiting for someone to come over and help place the remaining rock work in the tank and watch it get filled all the way up !

The tank is running..
The ADG 400g wet/dry with a MAG18 pump and a 200w heater.
Lights when installed Coralife 4x96 PC lighting with 5 moon lights.
2x Koralia 4 pumps in there to add more water movement.
Dealing with a small leak (yes Jeebus, the damn plug is still giving me fits..) I might have to replace it. We will see, or just not enough teflon tape. I am going to look at it tomorrow and see if its still dripping. Everything else is tight.
Several things needs to be fixed before its over with.. Hopefully everything will be done Monday, and then Tuesday my Chilambo are coming home !!
If all goes well, Kiku into the tank Monday afternoon. Until then I am just cycling the water to make sure that everything else works like advertised.

Better news... its not stopped but has significantly slowed down. Might take a break on it.. but bad news.. I am going to have to take the line feeding the pump out and replace it.. there is a bad spot in it somewhere.. and its dripping like an inch every 8-10 hours in to a bucket, so that HAS to be fixed. I might have to go back to lowes to pick up parts for it because its already been glued but I must obviously have missed a spot. Well Monday I will have to deal with that. Until then.. The bucket is going to have to catch it. I dont really want to stop circulation right now. Its now 4:00am and there is less than 1" of water in the bucket, so it will be a while before it fills up. Daily will have to check it until I have it repaired. The only part I am worried about having to repair would be the have to be the bulkhead if it does not stop dripping. I will have to add another 5 layers of the teflon tape on there.Originally posted by myjohnson View Posttold you to go 6-8 rounds.
Next coming days will tell :)

So the drip is still coming from the inside bulkhead at the plug seam, huh? That's some persistent water..
What's your plan for this evening?Experiencing an aquatic renaissance!Comment

Glen, not sure when I will be back from Nick's parents house tonight, and I didnt think of doing anything tonight, but maybe just adding a few things here and here.. not sure. Tim, armthehomeless is going to be over tomorrow to help out in the afternoon. Did a water change with the 1" hose, HOLY it was QUICK !!!! I love filling a tank back up less than 15 after starting the whole thing. Going to be talking to John (fshfrk) soon about getting the drain system going soon.

Jesper could you get a cap and a 1 1/2 pc pvc. glue cap on to the pvc and plug the bulkhead from inside the tank so you could unscrew the plug from the bottom? The plug should not drip to much so you could fix thx pretty quick.200

There is barely any downpipe on that bulk head to attach anything to it.
If I cannot do it, I will just replace it all.. We will see over the next few days what I wanna do. It cannot be hard to fix. If I have to buy another bulkhead so be it.

okie Tim -- armthehomeless came over this afternoon and assisted me getting the tank up 100%..
First got the drain pipe and stuff corrected. NO leaks now !!! thanks to Tim and his tireless work. Put the remaining rocks in the 180 as I was looking for. Drained the 70, removed all the Fish from the tank but the BN's and Petrocola's, rocks, sand. Put the sand into the 180 as I wanted. Put the 50 lbs of eco complete sand into the 70. Put the rock work back into the 70 and the Petrocola breeding cave in there. Moved all the Malawi from the 42 cube into the 70.. Now they have space to move around .. at last...
The Tropheus Kiku from the 70 put into the 180, and the baby Kiku was put into the 58 to grow out on their own.
Installed a 29 under the stand, and installed a JBJ ATO so the sump will not drain to quick.
I will install the lights tomorrow for the 180 temporary and later when the tank settles when we install the trim we will get it corrected.
Thank you TIM !!!! your work was awesome.. Glen is going to stop by tomorrow.. and then it will be picture time again once the Chilambo are settled !!!
Keep smiling :)
