I just need to take a long walk off a short dock.  :'(  UGH!

The good - 3 of my 5 racks are installed with all drains lines.  Turned the water on for the whole system and not as many leaks as I expected.   :)

The bad - 1 rack had questionable craftsmanship and I decided not to use it and will need to build another one.  1 rack I totally screwed up the dimensions and the tanks don't fit.  I will need to build a new one.  While there wasn't as many leaks as expected the leaks I do have are in the hardest to fix places.   :'(

It's a marathon, not a sprint. But once you've got it fully setup, it'll be "sitting in a chair with a cold one" watching water changes get done!  8)

50/50 chance that I might actually have fish IN the fishroom tonight.

Ordered a whole cargo plane load of fish that will be here beginning of next week, so time to go back and work on the fishroom.

Pictures or it didn't happen. But you did post it on the internet and everything you read on the internet is true.

I've gotten a ton done the last few days but I seem to have hit a brick wall today.  Everything hurts and I just have to rest.  Hopefully I'll be able to get a few things done tonight after I've rested, but regardless I'm at the point of feeling completely screwed no matter what when it comes to being ready for the fish that are coming on Monday.   :-[

Rest is needed man, even if the fish have to share a tank or two for a few days you are worth more then the fish

Thanks four_by_ken.  We knocked out a couple hours of quality work on the fishroom tonight.

No problem.  Glad I could help.  Just got home.

There will be no disappointment in this room, even I'd there were no fish.

Excellent job Jeff.
