LOL! I know...that's why I posted that picture. She's very expressive with her hands and flips the bird a lot. She doesn't realize what she's doing. She was probably just moving her fingers around and Tommy just happend to catch that picture. LOL!

We haven't been working on the tank lately. We've both been tired and just had other stuff to do. Tommy's cousin is in town for a little while from New Orleans and she's moving to Seattle in a couple of weeks so we're spending some time with her. Tommy and his brother moved the monster tank stand into the living room and we've definately got some shimming to do to make it level. Hopefully we'll get the tank moved in this weekend or the next and start plumbing.

Enjoy the family time and we look forward to your progress next week!

great baby pics nikki...cant wait to see some new tank pics too.

nikkipigtails · 04-19-2008, 01:18 PM

Ok...we have the stand in the living room...the problem is that it's WAY unlevel. The stand itself is level, but as soon as we put it on the carpet, the front is a little more than 1/2" lower than the back. I'm guess that it's because of the carpet pad. The carpet pad doesn't really get much wear 2" from the wall, but who knows. Any ideas on how to go about getting it level?

DIYguy · 04-19-2008, 02:14 PM

I have really bad experience with carpet under tanks. My tank I had to put wedges under the front to keep level. I swear when I get my own place I will tear out all the carpet and put tile instead. If you can remove the carpeting just under the tank you will have a much more stable piece of furniture.

Is this still where the tank goes ? Have you installed carpet here instead ?
