No worries grizz buddy glad to see it done and it's just what I wanted I'm gonna mount the pendants on the " x " part and LEDs on the " + " part

[Vitaminz]

Wow, what an amazing building thread!! Looking good Denny!!

[reefwars]

Thanks Jeff man , I'm trying to include as much as I can so no one gets bord of it lol if I can get off at a decent hour I'm gonna do some work on the stand but I'm fairly tapped for cash being the holliday month so not much will happen now untill January

tanks nice though eh and I can't wait to see how my lights turn out

[reefwars]

well hello all

today the grizz is bringing my light ring(thanks grizz) and yesterday i started plumbing my tank(thanks steve) i was short on some 90's so hopefully today i can get it finished and ready for a fresh water fill.after the freshwater fill i plan to get my sump up and running with all the liverock i have in it and let it all skim for a while to make sure my skimmer still kicks ass lol.then after the new year i plan to set up the 75g part(so i dont get busted by the tang police) and start on the 130gpart.

a big thanks to steve at red coral edmonton for ordering me the things i need next to help me get this badboy going, we have a zeo-reactor(3l) on order for january and then once thats in i will be getting the neptune system(apex) and then i will order my led's.

things im going to get right away are some new sand to cover up my old sand, im grabbing some more bulkheads today and some loc-lines,salt random things like that


ill try to post pics tomorrow as i hope to have the stand painted by then and ill have the light ring etc etc etc

[reefwars]

So a little good news I now have my light ring and I'm very impressed it was certainly the right way to go and it only weighs around 10lbs.

Also picked up the last of my plumbing plus some salt and tonight I start washing sand I got around 200-250 lbs to rinse so that's my Christmas lol

I have a dual stage reactor for carbon that the codfather picked up for me thanks Bob I'm gonna use it to run some carbon and gfo in my 33untill it's tear down time

the only thing holding me back now is a 1 1/2" gatevalve for my herbie overflow untill I can get that gatevalve I'm just gonna run the tank as durso style for the freshwater fill

pics soon as the misses comes home from Christmas with the family

Oh, that's a nice way to spend Christmas: to finally getting closer to your dream tank!! Jealous
Cannot wait to see what it looks like now.

BTW, Grizz is an artist, to be sure. That light-ring looks incredible. Master welder, indeed!
So wonderful to know that the reefing community is so generous and helpful.
What a great hobby.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Denny.

[reefwars]

Picked up the loc-lines and parts for my return and I found a gate valve I'm on my way to marine aquaria right now to grab it then I'll be able to finish my plumbing tonight

[jphong]
