    oh well, elos or not, I still don't want to look at electrical cords and drywall through the back :) (but it does make me a bit nervous to paint it)

    painting back of glass tank

    I bought several cans of different shades of blue and I am going to paint the back glass on my tank with darker at the bottom and gradually lighter shades toward the top. Is there anything I should do to prep the glass? Or any tips on shading technique?

    It is officially in my garage, took three of us to get it out of the car and onto the furniture dolly. Dang these little things are heavy. Yes the garage is a mess behind it. But it looks even better sitting at my house.

    victory! We got it out of the car...with three people helping and lowering it slowly onto the rolling furniture dolly. That little baby with 1/2" glass is heavy. Thanks to those of you that were going to help out tomorrow.

    Thanks to the guys at Barrier for loading the elos tank into my car since my bum arm can't lift it yet. I didn't have any way to unload it out of the car yesterday when I got it home, so it is still in the back of my SUV today. A couple of you offered for Wednesday...is the offer still...

    thanks, that's nice of you to offer, unfortunately, I will probably have to keep it scheduled for tomorrow. I'll figure out something. Worst case I'll just keep it in the back of my car an extra day

    We installed the sump work bench in the garage. You can see it starting to take shape. The blue grid is fiberglass grating and there is a bilge pump that will be mounted on the right to pump any spills or overflows (or after rinsing equipment) out to drain. Panels to mount the electrical...
