shrimpchips is on a distinguished road
Default

In the last few days, I've hung the fixture, got all the plumbing done, and screwed in and placed all my electrical componenets. I also levelled the stand with shims, so now all thats left is to get her wet!

Bulkheads in place:


In tank plumbing (all grey schedule 40 PVC - for the sextra sexyness);


Plumbing in the stand:

Not too worried about all the elbows on the manifold - my return pump should be able to overcome it just fine.

Electrical componenets:


All together with dosing containers, sump, ATO reservoir and GFO/GAC reactors:


Some pics with the light going on - can you see the Starphire glass? I can't


Through 3.5' of Starphire glass:


I did a small test of the bulkheads - no leaks in the bulkheads, but there is a small leak through the threaded fitting of the emergency overflow pipe. No big deal though - it leaked ~5ml overnight into the sump.


And a FTS:


Picking up 50' of RO/DI line this weekend to start filling the tank!
