Could someone baby sit her while you cycle the new tank?

That's the thing to do, Kelli. I may take her over to Tom's on The Weekend!

cath if you can reach the bottom of the tank,
trace a circle through the drilled bulkhead/durso fitting. then remove the tank, drill the circle out ( making it a little bigger then the pencil marking)

Cath the hole Tim tells you to drill needs to be big enough for the bulkhead and your fingers to tighten the nutt on the bulkhead so make it bigger than the pencil mark you make.

Well, that didn't happen 
While looking through the stuff that Tom sent along with the tank, I found this -
I haven't a clue how all these parts work together. "Help, Mr. Wizard!"

Today Tom came over and did the lion's share of work getting rid of the old and setting up the new. Got here around 11:00 and left shortly after 9:00PM!
What a mess. Anyway...here's the old tank.

And the new one. Yes, it's BB! At least for now...not sure what I'll do. More pix to follow. HUGE thanks to Tom for taking time out of his busy life to help with this.  No actually, I helped him. Is it all complete?? Nawwww...but what a change!

That looks great Cath! Good work I know you said your not sure what you'll do, but what are your plans for substrate,.. do you plan to leave it BB? Or do you plan to add a DSB again?

I'm not really sure about that, Whiskey. I like the look of a big full tank, but there's something neat about BB. There goes that argument
