    You could probably order one :)
    Everything has been in a 40 breeder that is to be the 113's sump.
    There is a thread for the temporary home of the 46...can link when I get home as I'm on my phone.

    I hope to transfer stuff back tonight if the silicon is cured that is or should I wait till i get the return and can test all the plumbing w/fresh water?

    I would wait until after the test, that would be terrible to have a problem after transfering everything.

    I agree with waiting also. It's always best to ensure each step is done completely before moving on. Backtracking in this hobby isn't something very easy to do.

    True.

    Yeah, isn't really the time to loose patience, not that there is any good time to in this hobby.

    Thanks.

    Ha Ha
    Thanks.

    I'm cutting to holes in the back of the stand and finishing the plumbing, as much as I can that is. The return pump will be here tomorrow by 4pm...yay!...along with 10 lbs of dry rock rubble which by the reviews can be up to a tennis ball in size. I'm hoping to get larger bits so I can glue/epoxy them together and make some sort of cool structure.

    Just need a good or at least decent set of lights cheap because my current set up is woefully inadequate and am still saving up for my Hawaii vacation (tickets are already purchased) and the stupid union let the state reduce our pay, again....grrrrr.
