Give her a back rub for us :wink:

LOL you do it my hands are killing me jkjk

Baby is going to need a tank, an upgrade sounds about right!! Hope your wife is doing ok, very exciting and nervous times for you both! Make sure you get as much sleep as you can now....keep us posted!

Haha yeah the tank upgrade or secondary tank wont be in the budget for a while but I got her a betta fish, and one of those fisher price fish tank things lol hopefully she catches the reef bug so i have another helper for the next build. :)

Update pics of sump please?

I'll try to take some tonight its pretty low tech down there

So as requested, pics of the lowest tech sump on earth ;) its cramped so I can get great shots, also you can see, I need an ato, as the tape on the glas represents where I like my water level, and then that is 2 days evaporation.. (yikes) about 1 1/2-2 gallons)
so here you go

Last shot is side ways, (sorry) but it shows the plumbing from the return line, I have the pump sitting on a bag of filter floss to dampen sound (its silent now) and then the line goes up to a shut off valve for maintenance as well as flow control. From there it goes to gate valve (I think thats what its called) for emergency purposes, so when the power goes out the force of gravity automatically closes the line thus preventing overflow in the sump.

That's a swing check valve ya got there pilgrim

thanks thats the word I was looking for ;)

BTW, food for thought.
Next time you think about buying one of those, you may want to get either a clear one, a clear true union one, or clear wye style one. That way you can see if there's crud/someone in it and with the union and wye ( of course ) you can dismantle and clean it out. Otherwise, when you need it most, it may not close :surprise:
