Well the controller will be do. Just a learning curve from the GHL.

The canopy is just about complete. The only thing missing is the doors, which will likely be ordered today.

I've begun working on the canopy for the tank. I was going to wait a bit, but then realised I could do it using some scrap plywood and one new sheet. I'm working on another furniture piece which had some leftover wood, so it just made sense. I didn't take many pictures of the build progress, but here it is in rough form on top of the stand:



I also installed...

I got a vid camera a few days before I started the build out, right after the clean out (was the wifes craft room (evicted)). LOL

I got the JVC GZEX210. One of my sole reasons is that it has BUILT-IN time lapse recording (1,2,5,10,20,40,& 80 seconds.) More importantly 40x OPTICAL zoom. Digital zoom makes it so choppy and pixilated.

The camera came with Everio media software. It lets me cut and splice videos to make them shorter or even add them together to make long...

The blogs do not like embeded video. Hummm (maybe a fix forum gurus??)

SO...

Lets fill the tank with some water and put some rock in?? OK??

So once I had it up to the edge of the overflow.. I decided to let it go, overflow, and check the fittings.

OOPS... Leaky bulkhead.... ARGH.... hahahaha

Ohh and added more sand.. BTW.... I let it run so you can see how it clears (sand particles)...
