WarDog's Tank Thread : Episodic Trial And Error

[Bblinks]

Started this thread at 12 and now it's 1:30, have to be up for work at 7 but what the heck.
Very nice build Warren, the sump area is one of the nicest I have ever seen, most people I have met can give a rats a$$ what their sump area looks like or even knows that they have a sump until they have to empty out the skimmer cup but you make it look like a work of art, amazing! I also admire your level of patients. I know I couldn't wait that long to see water in the tank. My recent build took matter of days before it was turn key and fired up. Lol guess brad and I have the same problem. I do however keep a fairly tidy sump area since I am a big fan of sump area and individual filtration systems, everyone is different on their hobbandary and every time I visit other reefers I always look at the health of the tank and immediately follow by "can I check out your sump" lol

Anyways, great job on the tank and now LETS SEE SOME DAMN WATER!

Thanks Rich, kind words. Sorry to have kept you from your sleep, lol. I look forward to the days of trading frags with you.

My first attempt at the dosing lines were getting in the way of removing the skimmer cup, and looked funny IMO.



...so they just needed to be slightly altered. I'll do the same for the dosing containers.



End of day today.

You've been talking to Brad and Greg haven't you?

Warren, I don't think that Apex control module would do well inside the cabinet. I had my shorted out and made the whole house smelled like burnt electronics. Wife was not thrilled. Just a thought.

BTW, the Vancouver island reefers has unanimously voted your sump to be the sump of the year on their facebook page. The request they had is to change your cabinet doors to ultra clear glass instead. I personally think it is a great idea.

where did you get that medical tubing? I'm thinking about how much better that would reduce my noise/vibrations compared to the flex pvc i'm currently using.

Green line hoses or Newline hoses in Burnaby and Vancouver.
