I'm getting wet :)

After almost 6 months the day has come.

The VDub acted up on Friday costing me almost $400 or this would have been done sooner. I am putting togather a complete build thread that will be up in a few days. Just so excited had to post something. Even with a portable heater blowing on the reverse osmosis unit and 50 psi it's still painfully slow. I am glad I took extra time to rinse the sand out as the tank is really pretty clear.

Haha, yayyy your finally proving to use you are into this hobby and actually have a tank set up and not just loney and trying to make friends on here! Haha.

P.s. Your not the only one who's is setting up a tank this week :shhh: :wink1:

Bobbyyyyyy, congrats man. 'bout time.

FYI, 50 psi on your RO/DI pressure is going to cost you time and water quality. Optimum psi for your RO/DI is 80 psi.

Fill a 5g bucket with hot water, put a heater in it and crank it up, put 40'-50' of RO tubing coiled in the bucket to heat the water being fed to your RO/DI filter and your permeate (good water) production will increase.

No Gary the car crapped out on me so I wound up going with the 40 breeder I built. Would have liked to keep it under the stand but in the end the setup is SO much easier to work on like it is now. I got your PM on the wall. Talk to you later about it.

Ayyy it ryan that part u said reminds if someone lol kan u guess who?

IT'S RUNNING! No leaks, a little loud but it's smooth. No gushing and the ball valve to throttle back the fuge section is working perfectly. Nice gentle flow. The NAC is making a little foam but's probably just from the dust in the water. I honestly couldn't have done it with you guys! Especially Jeremy, Ryan, Jeff (Chickenking) and Russ. I'm shot though. Think I'm gonna go sit in front of my tank

Here is a shot of the sump. I was going to go acrylic but the VDub struck again. This is the 40 breeder I put together back in January.

I have a T off the return for draining water changes. (2) 1/2" reactor feeds andthe split drain for the refugium.

really cant wait to see how it goes man. glad you finally got it going. butttt...seeing it took you forever to figure out what equiptment to use, and 3 years to figure out what light fixture to use, then another year to deside you dont want to go with the fixture you chosed and want another one, GOD i could only imagine how long its going to take you to choose which fish and corals you want! haha good luck though, happy its filled! step 1...complete

 

[masterswimmer]

Wow, you guys are rough on poor Bobby. You all need to understand he measures his life in light years. He was only born .00000000000000000000001 minutes ago! :lol:

From Tolstoy

And Ben Franklin

?He that can have Patience, can have what he will?

Yeah yeah so I'm worse than some women you know Lol.

Ryan I already have a list of the fish I am doing albiet a very small one and a rather larger list of corals. I made lots of metal notes when I stopped by Jeremy house

As far as aging in light years I need to find a way to go faster than the speed of light. Would LOVE to be mid 20's again Lol.
