Fishoutofwater Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Are you going to slide it all back a few inches? Build a wall lip to stop light bleed or just let it be? cptnspanky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Dang was that hard to get covered in one coat? Maybe we can make ftsftb Friday a thing lol cptnspanky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptnspanky Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Dang was that hard to get covered in one coat? Maybe we can make ftsftb Friday a thing lol That was the thickest substance ive ever painted. After mixing i had to let it sit for 30 minutes, had to make 2 batches, and it gives you 4 hours total of working time. So all said and done i used the whole 4 hours. The cut in had to be dabbed into place because it was to thick to brush. But it had pretty good coverage, probably helped that I skimmed the walls to eliminate texture. Im supposed to do a 2nd coat, but i dont think ill need to do soSent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Wow, that is crazy! The boys giving you the stink eye was lol. The ghost working in your fishroom was super helpful. Looking awesome! cptnspanky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptnspanky Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Todays update: got the floor down and even with knee pads i set my knees on fire. Going to be feeling that tomorrow.Also contacted us plastics about water storage barrels and they have a 8 week lead time on those things! Wish id have ordered them sooner. But i dont really have any other options at this time. The closet is 63" wide. I was planning on a 20" wide utility sink and those tanks were 20" diameter with 55 gallon capacity. Not too many similar options out there i can findSent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

music Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Ok. Love the planned layout. That was great. I meant in relationship to the house. I keep thinking about how you described it to me, but I still dont understand... Edited February 14, 2020 by music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptnspanky Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 So since my last update, i ran the plumbing for the drain lines, put up trim, installed the utility sink and did a little caulking.I also went to jesses to borrow the livestock tubs for the tank teardown. One will hold the fish until i get them back to suki, and the other is for vinegar bathing the liverock. Tomorrow starts the teardown.I went to costco today to get the vinegar and i bought an absurd amount....enough i had a lot of people whispering and staring, and a few approached me to ask about it. 40 1.32 jugs of it to be exact (52.8 gallons) Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
