i was looking at getting one of these on a switching sub-panel http://www.homedepot.ca/product/eco-...closure/934334 from what i understand, if the house losts power the sub-panel will switch over to the generator with in 10 seconds. it will only power the pumps and heater the generator runs on natural gas so it should be able to run extend period of time |

6kw should do a fair amount. You might want to put a couple light circuit on it too and your furnace, so lights and climate stay on if you can afford based on the draw. What does an tank that size take to heat it you imagine? I presume you will get a hrv to just keep it dry. :) I must say, I'm jealous of the look, but it would be more mantainence than I can do. :) |
How is this coming along? We are looking forward to seeing this up and running.
|
Yeah I've been eating my wheaties dave when's lift day?

Do you guys have a website with customer's tank pics? That would be really nice to give the rest of us an idea of what you guys can do.

couldn't get motivated enough to go into work today, so i figure i would call one of my staff to help me work on the electrical today. who would have thought running nine circuits takes so long to do:lol: so this is the new sub-panel we installed with 7 gfi dead fronts and two regular plug http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_0200.jpg this is the rats nest off the current panel http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/IMG_0201.jpg next up will be to clean up the wiring in the main panel and have the hrv installed this week so more to come, but it atleast it is starting to move dave |

i also had a meeting with the heating/venting guy today, i only wish i could've understand what he was telling me, but it sounds really cool what he wants to do. i was lucky enough to have meet him though another project my other company was working on, but he has a hrv system that was rejected by a customer because it was not posh enough for them. the scary thing is the unit costed over 10k that he is willing to give me as it was already paid for, man some folks just have way to much money:wink: but it works out great for me dave |
Hows the project comming along been awhile since a update. Awesome Project

If you need help Dave, I am in. I have done a bit of drywalling, but you are on your own for taping and mudding.
Oh and I highly recommend the beer and pizza before the drywalling. Gives you more of a picasso finish. :) |
Hey Dave, I am also in, can help, and always interested in salt gear. HEHE... Let me know, if you want me to assist.
|
I won't help directly but I can supply a name and number for a good taper/mudder who is reliable and does excellent work for what I've found to be one of the cheapest.
|

wait until you hear what i have lined up for equipment for this build:mrgreen: been working with proline(albert) on this and we have come to a consensus on two pieces of equipment so far. first is the lighting, i knew it was LED's right the the start but just could not make up my mind on which unit! my first option was to go with 16 ecotech radions but albert really step up and give me a deal i could not pass up on getting 4 of the Vertex Illumina 260 6 footers. i think over all i will be happy with this chose i hope:redface: not my picture but still nice!! i was told wait time's to build the 4 units will be 6 weeks, it will be fitted with the red led's as will as the new VU led's that they just released http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...ics/images.jpg skimmer will be two of these bad boys:mrgreen: super marine 300 http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...cs/images1.jpg and two if these new self cleaning heads from vertex http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_0237-1.jpg now the hunt is on for founding some DC pumps's thanks dave |

from what i gather they really was not designed for salt water use as people started having problems with them after a couple months of use. i may get a couple to try out but really didn't want to use something knowing it has a high failure rate thanks dave |
Quote:
I vouch for the 260 6 footer as i am running this baby at about 60-70%. Do not have the red led module on it though. Albert told me about that self cleaning skimmer cup too, man the silly things we like to mod our tanks with....I want one too!!! |
Abyzz pumps all the way Dave. Running for quite some time on peter's 1350g on rc and they've performed flawlessly.

now to found the wholesaler! i know d and d carry's them in the states but have not found out how carry's them in canada yet thank |
Quote:
i have been playing around with a self cleaning head at the store for about three weeks now and i already know two mod's i want to do to it:wink: thanks dave |
Quote:

hmmmmmm self cleaning heads for the 300s huh???........heres a question......why for you went with two 300s and not one of the big boys like the 500 or the 600?
|

thanks |
Quote:
1)space is the number one reason, as i can fit two on the brench behind the tank. 2)my god do you know the cost of one those bad boys! lol 2A)really i just wanted two skimmers for back up reasons and i would be crazy to do two bk500ext didn't you think? yes self cleaning heads lol less work equals more time too better enjoy the tank. by the way i think i was able to get a free one for you:wink: thanks |
