dream tank
 

holy batman where did you find your wife cause everytime i tried tiniest bit of upgrade to my tank i hear my other half croaking and aheming in the background for at least a week.

Christmas and Birthday I'd say... LOL.. Nice Haul... she prolly used your credit card tho.. :lol:

Another update the door is on so I can now continue just have to finnish sealing it up put in a vent to let fresh air in this will help the exhaust fan work better. Then the fun begins setting up all the equipment

OK it has been a while This project got put on hold While I was battling with Kidney stones. But it has made some progress I have taken a week off to get it finished. All the painting is done the flooring and base boards are in the fresh air vents are in. I ran the fresh water line for the Ro/Di unit, the drain line for water changes and the waste water from the Ro/Di unit today. the stand for the sump is in place I built it about a month ago. Hopefully I will get it up and running tomorrow. I would of got a lot more done but the wife pulled me away from my sump room the build a play area for the cats (cat land)

this is cat land it is on the wall across form my sump room

Good look at the Ro/Di unit from the door you can see where the drain enters the room it is the thing with the rag hanging out if it ( The water waste and supply lines will be tied up when it is done)

Everything is coming along nicely! :) We were out that way last night and thought about stopping by but ran out of time :( I can't wait to see everything up and running. If you need a hand getting the sump in there, let us know.

Keep the updates coming! :mrgreen:

Well it was another 16 hour day yesterday working on the sump room connection almost have it hooked up but ran into a few snags at about 1:30 am so we had to admit defeat and go to bed. Got a solid 4 1/2 hours of sleep. Went out and picked up some more plumbing parts for todays effort

well this Where we started for the day Removing the old sump from under the tank. Yah I know what you are thinking you should leave it there and turn it into a Fuge but I needed it out of the way to drill the holes in the floor to run the plumbing down stairs

Well I tried to cut the seams to save the glass but man they build these tanks tough so we taped it up and broke out the BFG ( BIG F*@#$&% Hammer )

wow...looks like your house is home to a couple varieties of fat cats...lol

I love to see such careful planning backed up by very nice execution.
congrats on your awesome wife too.

Too cool! I had considered doing a series of cat ramps as well for my cats in my last house. I had seen some lady's website and she went way overboard with it and I felt inspired. Glad I didn't as we decided to move. So far a 7 foot cat tower upstairs is as crazy as I've gotten...
