WarDog's Tank Thread : Episodic Trial And Error

[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.

I tested it with tap water like a month ago, then added some heat and vinegar, where have you been?... oh wait, you've got the ebola... so I guess I'll let it slide

Don't mind me. I'm the impatient type. I had rocks and water in before the overflows were attached. And the whole tank was running across the room from where it was going. Had to drain and drag to get it in place

Yup, I'm sure I've missed lots on the Ol' Canreef lately what with my H1N5.4v2.3, combined with the rest of the chicken/pig/airplane modified stuff. Honestly, I've had the flu over the years, but this is the worst ever since I was a kid
So I didn't think you'd tested as I don't see your plumbing completed yet

Brad gets away with all kinds of things and his tank forgives him ... kinda like a push ... so he can rib the rest of us on and watch our mistakes
Oh wait, that's not true lately. NM

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
