Gotta ask tho, 2015 going to be year of the water??

My build only took about 5 months War, just sayin ...

[Aquattro]

Mine took a few months too, but due to building the stand and hood. Once that was done, it was quick. I have about 5' of PVC, a couple of 90s and that's it

Gravity holds all my cords. I have a baby gate around my controller and reactor lol

O M G
I just looked back through your thread, checking to see if this was an extension of another build. Not


Time to ramp it up Dog
I mean, sure, the devil's in the details, but May 2013 ???

[WarDog]

Yeah you guys are right. It's time to get wet! To be honest, I get a lot of satisfaction out of planning and building, of anything.
My boss expects this kind of attention to detail at work, so I guess it's just natural that it shows up here as well.
This build has been a whole new learning experience for me, plus I love to research. Frankly, due to financial limitations, I've had to take my time... but yeah, May 2013 is too long.

It's the weekend, so lots of time to add water now

Plans for J&L on Monday for salt... I WONT SUCCUMB TO PEER PRESSURE, LOL!!!... but maybe I could fire up the RODI!

OK, with financial restrictions I can see a build such as your's taking time
I'll admit I went waaay over budget on mine and it took some time to recover
So I'll give ya some leeway

Anything left to buy, or is it just build time now ? C'mon c'mon
This is how I spend my work days, being pressured with parts/time restraints

And ya, you've got all night and 2 days

Honestly though, when do you think you're going to get it salty ? You still have to test your flow - mess with pumps, valves etc ...

At least get the RO running so you're ready
Then you'll get to test out that fancy sliding unit

[gregzz4]

FWIW, I tested my system for the better part of a week with tap water before I came close to considering RO and salt
But it was my first salt system

I'm on vacation until the 19th, so plenty of time, no excuses left.

Still need:

Apex PM2
Netgear wifi
Salt
Test kits
ATO and dosing hoses
Probe holder
Substrate

Pocket change really!
