I went to lowes and home depot. They did not have all the parts I needed. IO guess I can go look again. Well, I had to reorder the bulk heads the ones I ordered did not fit. So I called jack. I had to get a different type of BH for this tank. Oh Well. It gave me reason to order a few other things. Like a coral fragging kit and another power head. Dont worry this one is for my 100 gallon. I am seeing so water movement issues in it right now. So I got a Korailia 2.
Also I got my stand and canopy all finished last night. I will get some pictures up this evening. I am very pleased with how it turned out. NOW, I want to paint the inside of the stand. What type of paint should I use. I want the Inside to be white. I guess they make some sort of water proof marine paint.
I figured that since it has taken this long to get this far, I should just go ahead and do everything exactly how I want it. I am also going to put a pan liner or some sort of drip pan in the bottom of the stand.
Inside the stand will be kinda dark, so I am going to use the Current USA Powerbrite to illuminate it. I have the 10000K version. It puts out a good bit of light. So I am goint to mount it inside the stand. One on each end. This will light up my stand, and I wont have to worry about putting in a clamp light ,and the heat and other issues involved with that.

Off to Lowe's you go. You may have to print the pic out and take it with you because they should have everything you need. I got all of my parts here at my work and it's 1/20th of what Lowe's carries. All the parts are your standard residential plumbing parts. But if you don't see it don't waste a lot of time looking because remember "Time = $" and if you order this morning they could possibly be "In Transit" this evening and to you about the same time as your bulkheads.

Keep up the good work and take PICS

Thanks for the update Michael. How's the elbow?

michael_cb_125 · 01-18-2008, 09:35 AM

Killing me. The swelling has moved down my arm. The middle of my forearm is very swollen, anlong with my elbow. It looks like I have a huge golf ball under my skin on my forearm.
I guess if it is not better my Monday I will head to the orthopedic.~Michael

Well last night I ordered the bulkheads that fit my tank. Well in all of my awesome Stupidness I only ordered two. That is the second time I have done this.
Well I called Marine Depot, but it was too late to add anything. So I had to place another order. But the guy helped me oput on shipping. I wanted them second dayed. The salesperson who was helping me said he could meet me half way on shipping. SO he only chrged me $7 for 2 day shipping. Marine Depot is a great company.

I love Marine Depot. They've always done right by me too.

Marine Depot is my neighbor!

michael_cb_125 · 01-19-2008, 08:56 AM

Well, I got nothing done last night. I went to Megan's House around 5:30
We fell asleep at 6:45 and did not wake till' 6:30 this morning. Gah, we are loosers. All of our friends were calling us, be we heard nothing.

Well this morning, they are calling for 4 inches of snow. So I ma getting all my fishing stuff togather. Me Megan and Bryan are going to go quarry hopping. Around here the best time to catch really big Basss is in winter in quarries while its snowing. There is this one that is 350 ft. deep. It has some of the biggest fish In it. It is a pond but it is so deep that it supports plankton, and there are tons of gizzard shad in it. I have snagged some shad in there berfore that were 18in. long. Big shad=big bass.

You lucky so and so!!! Do they actually have a store front that you can walk in and buy things?

michael_cb_125 · 01-19-2008, 12:11 PM

I am glad I do not live near them. I would have to sell my house to pay my credit card bill.

michael_cb_125 · 01-19-2008, 12:13 PM

I know I have seen this on here before. What brand and type of paint should I use to paint the inside of my stand. I want to paint it white. Thanks for any help~Michael

michael_cb_125 · 01-19-2008, 03:22 PM

Its Snowing and I want to paint the inside of my tank, but nobody wants to help me decide what type of paint to use.

Please help me
