    Yay! I plumbed my overflow today. It only took me a couple of hours and enough swearing to make the forum censor blush. Tommorow comes the hard part.. The sump!

    Today I shopped for everything (hopefully) I need to plumb my sump. I'm doing the (expensive!) flexible pvc and ball valves on both returns and both drains. After spending $60 on the overflow plumbing, today's purchase was a bit of sticker-shock. I didn't budget for plumbing!

    Today the electrician finished re-wiring my whole house, also installing a dedicated circuit for the tank. I was finally able to fire-up the razors! They look great, even without water.

    Great to hear from you. The Tsumani zone is... welll... Do you know the lyrics to The Smiths (or is it Morrisey) "Every Day in Like Sunday"? In the seaside town they forgot to shut down, come Armaggedon come"
    Well it's not that bad. I'll give you a ring soon!

    This pic is a couple of months old. Since then I gave away the sun corals and replaced them with an elegance. I've had a plague of monti cap. And the starfish... Well...
