I've always splurged and used the ties from home depot because they come in massive lengths and say they are UV resistant. They feel stronger and with this protection I imagine don't become brittle being in the tank quite as fast.

What can I say? I aim to please!

Can someone wave a magic wand so my BRS package would arrive today? Please? I'll even post real photos, from an actual camera, and not a phone! I'm not sure why its so hard for me to wait for this package, but its killing me! KILLING ME! I just want to fill up my tank with water and see how she holds.

Haha that's too funny. Why do you think I *really* abandoned my closed loop? I can't bear to wait until I can actually begin work on the setup to fill it up lol.

The waiting is terrible! I know patience is a central tenant to reefkeeping and all, but seriously, I require some instant gratification!

well dry goods should be instant gratification

Too bad they aren't!

Did some shopping last night to add to my BRS box that arrived yesterday! So now I'm up to ~$1,300 spent in plumbing to date and we're only around half way in that process.

More photos soonish. I took them, and I charged my camera, but need some quality time with my laptop.

$1300? HOW is that possible? Unless you have a bunch of massive sch80 true union valves and gate valves that seems crazy high. Unless you're including pumps in that figure...
