I've previously tried doing this by heating the section in the oven, this way is much faster and more precise.


Anyone know where I can go buy salt in town? I've just made it through my last bucket and I need 4 to fill up Tibet to start her on her maiden voyage.

Music to my ears it's about time!

I think this is music to everyone's ears.

The sump base got sealed



Now the sump is in place along with one of the three pumps.

Yeah, 4 boxes, plus 2.5 pails...it better be enough. I haven't used Coralife in YEARS, so maybe I'll stick with it, or maybe not; who knows.

I imagine my little grains of salt arriving dressed up in their little lab jackets and googles all ready to get down to being all science-y and such.

I'm using that same salt on the 180 here at the office. Seems pretty good. Mixes up really quick from what I can tell and mixes fairly clean too, haven't seen much residue left in my water change container, and its CHEAP!
