An Actual "Set-Up" Thread... |

It's currently 10:49 PM on a Friday night in Richmond, VA... I |
|
was just thrown out of Home Depot after standing in the plumbing |
|
aisle for 30 minutes after they closed selecting PVC fittings to |
|
plumb a 65-gallon sump and FX6 to the overflows of a 180-gallon |
|
acrylic tank that currently sits atop a custom stand constructed |
|
by none other than John Hudson. I should note that the stand is |
|
constructed almost entirely of salvaged 100+ year old doors from |
|
old Virginia plantation homes. |
|
The mission: To have this thing up and running before the wife |
|
wakes up. |
|
The mood music: The three or four Tank Talk podcasts that I |
|
have been trying to find the time to catch up on. |
|
Wish me luck. |

Sounds like a great way to spend the evening! Or a day. Or a |
|
week. Or, well sounds like fun!! |
|
Remember, get video!! |

I don't think I've ever seen any pictures of the stand John did |
|
for you. I know there was talk that it might be included on the |
|
KGWoodworking page, but would really love to see some photos. |
|
Before the wife wakes up? And it's already 11 PM.. oh my - you |
|
do need luck. |

I got to see your stand in Johns shop while it was under |
|
construction, I was picking up some mbunas. Looked nice. Stopped |
|
in today and picked up 5 more mbunas and on the way back to |
|
Fredericksburg I had to stop and fill up the car with gas. |
|
Walmart and Sheetz have a gas war going on, 2.61 for regular :) |

|
woke up? |
