Is the bottom piece on the top in this picture? I still haven't quite figured out what I'm looking at ... even with your explanation ... LOL!

I've a Blooming Orchid Bottom piece too, since Tybin doesn't need it. The glue up didn't work out - I'm sad ... I LOVED the colors on that one!

Yea the bottom piece is on top. The drip tip doesn't exactly fit, alot of o-rings but i'll figure something out

Jonboyusmc, Big Fran and strprswpr heres what I did to get the 'superglue-like' spell off:

Rince Off
6 drops of [TW's Menthol Concentrate] all over the tank
soak in VG [walmart cheap]
let sit for a few hours shaking it every now and again
Rince Off
Soak in Spirits
let it sit again for a few hours continuing to shake it
final rinseoff
dry

At this point most of the smell was gone. I put in a tobacco flavor and didn't notice it.
I forgot to post this 3 days ago due to work work work but MAN do I LOVE my tank! Thanks Jonboy! its a masterpiece

Yeah Cat if it's not too much trouble. I really like that look.

Some gal was making them, stretch. I can't remember her name, but I could go back to my emails and see if I could find her if you like.. I got one, too. It was before Christmas and she was only doing the black. Maybe Poppa knows right off the bat. It's a shell.

And hello everybody. I'm actually exhausted and my daughter is sick, so only going to hang around for a short time.

She's the prettiest tank ever. Don't you just love them? I was shocked when I got that one. LOL She's only my second one. I was on the Tankless list and got the first one.

Okay...you guys really need to stop showing off all these pictures of your beautiful wood mods...I just might end up in divorce court because of it

Hey Stretch..how is my Lava Twin doing? This is my first tank and I LOVE her...

 

[stretchpants]

I've seen them.Do not show them She will be divorced.

I have a couple, but I'm at work so you can't see them.

Oh yea I know what I have to do, put a little piece of carto tube in there. I already figured that out in my head a few days ago

Hey I get some new cartos tomorrow. I may or may not have fried this one. I'm getting some E1's after setting it at 4.8v. Oddly though it works fine at 3.8 and 4.2 on a fresh battery on my SB

Thanks for the step by step. I'm going to give it a try.

Yea no problem Fran! I don't understand why menthol, VG and alcohol work but im glad it did XD.
