Pictures of inside the stand with controller mounted and the outside of the tank with the wires zip tied.

Before.






After

I decided to mount the controller on the door so it is easier for me to get to. I am fat and have a bad back...

[sunkenmetal]

Gonna do a water change and clean up my rats nest of wires. Will post pictures when I am done. Well if I get done before physical therapy lol.

That's awesome Nick!

[sunkenmetal]

Great tank, Nick. Can't wait to get mine stocked. What are you feeding your gobies and hillstreams?

The gobys are eating freeze dried blood worms, live shrimp, and baby rams horn snails. The rams horn snails were an accident. I put some plants from another tank with snails in it in this tank forgetting about the snails. But the rhinos are eating them. The shells are soft enough for them to smash up. They are such messy eaters.

The hill streams are eating the algae that is growing on the tank walls and rocks and drift wood. If they find any left over food they will eat it. Blood worms, flake, and algae wafers after they soften up.

I think there was a little dead spot that was nagging him...

yep there was a little dead spot now there is a slight under tow...

[sunkenmetal]

In case you didn't already have enough flow ...

It's adjustable plus it give me more surface flow the top level of water didn't have enough. If I crank it all the way up I get a cool little waves. I am going to set it up today to do long pulses.

So the oil pump in my brother in laws 94 Toyota Corolla needed a oil pump rebuild and a new crank seal and valve cover gasket and so on. Lets just say this 1.8 liter four banger had more oil leaks than a helicopter. But after 250,000 miles and some bad mechanics in china town it needed help. But he paid me well so I am not going to complain.

Took the money and went to CityPets and grabbed some freeze dried blood worms put them on the counter and said gimme a MP40.

This thing is the sex.....

I wish I had cut a 4 inch hole in the back of the stand so I could get the controller through. So I opened up the controller unplugged the cable and ran it through the back of the stand then put the controller back together.

I haven't mounted the controller yet so I haven't taken any DLSR pics yet so here are some cell phone pics of the pump mounted on the tank...

[sunkenmetal]

Yeah um we need a vid of that MP40 in motion...

When I get the controller mounted I will video

[sunkenmetal]

lets see how the current looks now with that PIMP ARSE equipment you just added!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't finished mounting the controller yet...

[sunkenmetal]

I tend to forget about the cool fauna Nick is keeping in the tank due to the high level of IBallFawkingHard gear.

lol I just got something real nice yesterday :)
