Dude that light runs laps around the power module in the sexy circuit. I'm glad they've got proper distribution and marketing now. More people need to get on board.

Yeah, Tim is really great to work with. I'm lucky he lives pretty close to him. Any issues I've had he's sorted out right away, and always great to chat with.

Anyways....

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!



Plumbing, here I come!!

[shrimpchips]

In the last few days, I've hung the fixture, got all the plumbing done, and screwed in and placed all my electrical componenets. I also levelled the stand with shims, so now all thats left is to get her wet!

Bulkheads in place:


In tank plumbing (all grey schedule 40 PVC - for the sextra sexyness);


Plumbing in the stand:

Not too worried about all the elbows on the manifold - my return pump should be able to overcome it just fine.

Electrical componenets:


All together with dosing containers, sump, ATO reservoir and GFO/GAC reactors:


Some pics with the light going on - can you see the Starphire glass? I can't


Through 3.5' of Starphire glass:


I did a small test of the bulkheads - no leaks in the bulkheads, but there is a small leak through the threaded fitting of the emergency overflow pipe. No big deal though - it leaked ~5ml overnight into the sump.


And a FTS:


Picking up 50' of RO/DI line this weekend to start filling the tank!

I don't know if this is appropriate, but I just got a boner looking at your set up.

lol....these pics don't even show any pu...........mps. I don't have the Profilux doser (4 chan) or Profilux controller placed yet either. Then it's hardcore

The leak you have on the threaded drain.... get more teflon tape and re tape it.

It may only leak a little now but with more time it could get worse.

Nicest set up I have seen in a long time. Everything is so neat and orderly underneath. Looks awesome!

[shrimpchips]

I should clarify - the threaded connection that is leaking is inside the tank - the emergency drain is plumbed to a slip x male thread fitting, which is screwed into the bulkhead. So the leak essentially is within the plumbing, which is by all means fine for now. If it does get worse, then I'll have to wrangle to pipe out, but for now I'll leave it be.

HEHE, I wouldn't say I went that far.... But I was thinking WHAT THE F---!

This is one of the cleanest, most organized setups. Great Work.

Now I am looking at mine and wondering.... do I need to clean things up?

[sweet ride]

that is really clean! great job!!!!
