hajimetai's 300g tank build thread

oh man.. now I can't pick it up. I checked at the store where it was delivered. They messed up and put 3/4" return and 1" drain holes. I ordered 1" and 11/2"....also tells me overflow kit for drain is not included even though return with lockline is included....such a bs.looks like overflow box is too small to fit 11/2 drain kit and the hole is too close to each other to fit both larger bulkheads so they might have to send it back and make another tank...I waited over a month and half. about to snap!:butcher:
 
any idea I can run reeflo dart with 1" pipe to 3/4" bulkhead hose to 3/4 lockline and use 1" pipe for both drains to the sump? They are dual corner overflows.
 
I just feel like they will never get it right. No knowledge of how plumbing works. They depend on manufacturer. I told them 3 times to give me cad drawing for over a month then I told them holes are in wrong place and size. 3 days later tank is here in Chicago.... it was already on the truck by the time I got the drawing.
 
Getting drilled and picking up today! Time to work on the plumbing :moil:
I got huge Brazilian dragon eel and clown tang yesterday. My Miniatus grouper is not getting along with tang.
He was my favorite fish but I decided to let him go. I can't post it on for sale thread since I don't have enough posts.
$50. I paid $207 which is way overpaid. Eating like a pig. pretty aggressive fish so not recommended with small wrasses, tangs etc.

Thanks! I will try to ask next time. I can feed you real Japanese home cooking at least:spam: I am getting old and losing power so as my friends I guess lol asked him to bring his son but bailed on me. so had to carry it with 2 ppl. it was awkward to carry it coz he is twice as powerful compare to me.
 
Wow, amazing stuff. And the ball valve is nothing, lol. If that's your one mistake, you're golden. Every fish project of mine involves at least one mistake.

I just finished building a motorcycle and made so many mistakes during the process and cost so much for replacement parts... I was so worried same thing would happen doing this. some pvc joint didn't go in all the way. those cement hardens so fast! I am so worried about leaks.
What if every single connection starts to leak? lol I am gonna cut everything off and starts again I guess...
