Here are a few pics of my tank FINALLY coming together...
I can now vouch for the hard work that is put into setting up a large tank.. After 3 MAJOR FLOODS.....All i can say is, its been quite a learning experience and LOTS of lessons learned along the way.. thanks to all of you that I have called and PM'd with my 101 questions..lol
Especially TO BRIAN AND CHRISTINA !!!!
Who because of me, are probably GLAD they moved and are in the process of changing their phone number :( thanks guys you have been a tremendous help for a novice like myself.... :)

here are a few pics along the way...

THANKS EVERYONE!!
Im a little worried about the bloom though :(

Brian ~ 3 MAJOR floods...gallons and gallons...
I was literally SHOWERED in it with the last one :sick the skimmer shot out at me like a SPRAY... Those instructions i read from the skimmer site were a freaking JOKE.... lol

ohh and the skimmer is WIDE OPEN and its foaming like MAD... >_<

if the gate is opened wide and still foaming over crank back a little on the pump that should fix it.

ok WAYYY over my head... i can crank the iwaki pump back? i dont recall seeing a knob or anything :unsure what am i looking for?? a knob, switch, valve? and where?

OHH BTW i super glued the shock part that broke and its holding!! MAN i have superglued just about everything that ive broken...lol
