What can I say? I aim to please!


Can someone wave a magic wand so my BRS package would arrive today? Please? I'll even post real photos, from an actual camera, and not a phone! I'm not sure why its so hard for me to wait for this package, but its killing me! KILLING ME! I just want to fill up my tank with water and see how she holds.

Haha that's too funny. Why do you think I *really* abandoned my closed loop? I can't bear to wait until I can actually begin work on the setup to fill it up lol.

The waiting is terrible! I know patience is a central tenant to reefkeeping and all, but seriously, I require some instant gratification!

well dry goods should be instant gratification:wink:.....

Too bad they aren't!

Did some shopping last night to add to my BRS box that arrived yesterday! So now I'm up to ~$1,300 spent in plumbing to date and we're only around half way in that process.

More photos soonish. I took them, and I charged my camera, but need some quality time with my laptop.

$1300? HOW is that possible? Unless you have a bunch of massive sch80 true union valves and gate valves that seems crazy high. Unless you're including pumps in that figure...

We have a winner!

I think plumbing costs is going to eclipse the tank cost once I add in pumps and the Ocean Motions.

Those valves are SO much better than the white ones you get at home depot etc. Not sure which way I'll be going...most likely the CHEAPER way =)

We got ours via BRS and it made a difference in pricing for sure. We also scoped out some local places to buy as well, but BRS' prices couldn't be beat on the Group Order.

Think of it this way; I bought enough stuff from BRS that when I sit it all on the eurobrace it spans nearly the full 10.5ft.

Saying something like that without posting a pic seems a little mean!

So you can't even do a water test until you're all plumbed? Or do you guys have threaded plugs for your bulkheads at least?
