Thanks to Wendell at OceanAquatics, for his speedy delivery of my skimmer impeller. Got it in and its working like a charm!

Trying to wrangle a few people to get the tank on the stand, tonight possibly

Progress!!


"Glass half full" (oh it goes painfully slow)


Dart pump mounted with rubber feet to absorb any vibrations (best we could do around here)


rubber feets (we mounted them upside down for better stability)


Why I got a second Aquatronica Powerbar or "every electricians nightmare"


Wavy sea mounted (stuff in background is the RODI line and a clamp holding it in place)


Thats about it. It should really be more exciting than that. Oh I also glued most of my PVC together today. PVC glue is disgusting, now I remember why I never glue anything

As well the sump is off being drilled and should be ready Tuesday so I can get the whole system up and running then. Then its just check for leaks, fling some salt in and get some rock in there


Oh and then theres all the finishing junk

In addition to those feet on your pump, you could place the pump onto some of that wetsuit material. I have also seen mouse pads for the comp made out of the same material. It absorbs vibrations well.

Christy, how did you make out with the scratches in the glass?
