Nice!! Glad you found everything you needed i can't say, that with the exception of asking the location of something, that a Home Depot employee was ever helpful lol

Re: chip and "that person", he had to keep him last year, he was still under contract, and kelly plays a very small role in personnel decisions.

Most of the time, I can't even find a HD employee to ask for directions lol. I got the silicon down on the pvc supports. Gotta let that dry a bit. Got my "work station" set up in the sun room and am ready to move the tank and set it on it's side as soon as the silicon sets. I, sadly have to run BACK to HD and get some good stuff foam. :/ really didn't think I would be ready for it today.. I set up more egg crate to create a hiding area for the pipes and the waterfall. Will post pics once I get more done

We got the tank out and I officially have a work bench! (sniff) Daddy will be proud!

Here is the "wall" that will hide the pipes. I will have to cut out an opening for the water to flow out of it once everything is dry. I added more egg crate to the top to hide it. I also placed some screen over it to keep the good stuff from filling in the holes



Good stuff is covered in abg mix and is ready to dry! It's nice and breezy in there so it should dry pretty well. It's also cool... Is there a low temp that would be too low for it to dry?



Side view:



What is left of my abg... I am going to have to make more.


I attempted to tape up the bamboo that will be going across and silicone that in before using anymore good stuff but it's too humid on the freshly clean glass after putting all that abg in the tank and it won't hold the tape Guess tomorrow I can get the bamboo placed and glued down. after cutting the hole for the water fall. I also foamed up and abg covered the hole in the wood I am using for the water feature.

Tomorrow should be a productive day!

Just praying the tape holds long enough for the silicone and great stuff foam to set.. It was firmish when I left it..







The mopani had a hole that allowed water to fall where I didn't want it too. Sealed it up! It works nicely now! Just need to let the silicone/dirt dry!




Anyone know how to get great stuff foam off your hands/face? I was very thorough covering everything including myself!
