The Fish Tank Room Project

Mags · 02-05-2009, 03:07 PM

So this is what you've been up to all these weeks Tink!!

Full marks to you both for taking on a big project like this, I'm sure everything will look fabulous when it's all completed.

Good luck with the installation of that monster tank!

That is a huge project Tink! Just have to say I am relieved that the tank sprang a leak before K went on his driveaway! Also very pleased you managed the whole relocation without sacrificing any fishies - you both must have very good eyesight! I do look forward to seeing the finished project and you'll be so glad that the furbabies have more wandering room.

Wow, what a monumental project, Tink! That's going to be absolutely fabulous when it's finished. Very good that it broke before OH left, and that you managed to save the fish and corals.And I'm happy that the boys, Kuan Yin and Hestia will have more places not off limits now. Please do keep the pics coming!

Hey, guys! So the 300 gallon got emptied out and is ready to be used as a sump.

Here's it draining

Rock from tank

Kuan Yin supervising

Empty

A neighbor came over and helped K lift it to the front yard so it could be rinsed off and everything...then we made salt water and started putting back in some live rock that's been sitting in a holding tank since the last one sprung a leak (it is much happier now, LOL)

Over the weekend we left the garage open access to Kuan Yin (my troublemaker kitty) to work out the kinks in making sure it is "catproof".
So she was gone for awhile as I took a break and it got much too quiet. I went out there and what do I find --
Kuan Yin knee deep in the box of detergent digging and kicking to her heart's content

I picked her up and shook her off and got the detergent out from in between her toes and she was very annoyed with me

So now I know to keep the detergent box closed. Crazy cat

That is all for now...

What a mammoth task

......... that tank looks so heavy too!

Why is it that our cats are always able to discover the things they are not supposed to?

dandysmom · 04-05-2009, 04:23 PM

What a job that was! I had to laugh at Kuan Yin and the detergent... the things they can find to do!!

I am stunned at the size of the project! When it is all done you could sell tickets!

Only just seen this and cant wait for it to be finished! Its lookin cool.

Well, K is not following docs orders of "taking it easy" and is moving on to creating the entryway to the fish room (remove door, hack a bigger space into the wall). Just another Saturday night around here, LOL.

Enjoy.

Amazing Tink! K does need to take it easy, but perhaps it keeps his mind off his troubles doing something he really enjoys.
