    Angry Progress Report

    Well, I got her plumbed and filled with water. Some of the plumbing still leaks, but so far the tank is O.K. I'll try to fix the leaks tomorrow. It seems to be leaking mostly around the bulkheads. It is frustrating, and right now not much fun. I haven't got the Stockman mods up yet, and boy is it loud. The 50 gallon sump is not all that great either as the water is full of bubbles.

    Ed,
    the pics on your page do not seem to come up. I dont know if this is just my browser or others as well. I am anxious to see your progress.

    I'm not getting any pictures either.


    Hang in there, I know what you mean about frustration. It seems inherent to this hobby sometimes.

    Sorry Guys. No pics of the new tank yet. Try the 90 gallon reef page and see if you get the pics there. I will post pics of the new tank asap.

    Ed hang in there. I have spent a lot of time with the plumbing and trying to get rid of the bubbles in my tank.

    Did you apply silicone to the bulkhead fittings? I applied silicone to all surfaces and had pretty good luck with making it leak free.
