Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

Black is my vote! Gives it leviathan depth and really makes the colors in the tank pop.

Sorry I missed that... I think thru Yahoo messenger you can set up a conference and invite people its that easy but since you will be so busy I would have someone else moderate the conference to do invites so all you will have to do is click the button that says webcam

Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

Thanks Brotha... all I have is m-IRC.

LOL Boozeman... I don't do those things anyway

Lisa, Thank you for the very kind offer but I should be able to manage it with the help of my son and husband.

Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

I went black for the same reason Dave just said. I used black rustolium paint and used a fine sponge roller to apply it. came out awesome and holds up well. Are the overflows black?
Cool thread start Doni!

Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

Black paint, coronas and coffee! Got it


Alright, the sump is done, I am much wiser ....and stoned! LOL~ Whew.. those fumes...

The first baffle is just a tad slanted, I must have pushed it putting in the other two baffles but didn't realize it until the silicone was starting to harden so I just left it.

Anyway ... here are a few pics..

Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

Very nice work Doni !
That baffle on the left seems to be quite high or is it my imagination ?
