Kryptic4L's 100 Gallon Build.

[Kryptic4L]

modified some floor drains today and cemented them in. so took the sump offline for the night. i was having trouble with the water jumping to the next chamber and making a ton of noise. so hopefully this will help keep the flow going through the socks. strange that the best fitting ones for my socks were the most expensive

great idea! did you get this sump from concepts? i had the exact same issue with my socks being slightly too small for the holes and so water was leaking around the rim of the socks and splashing straight into the chamber below.

what i've done for now is cut thin strips of filtration cloth and wrapped them around each sock to close those gaps.

[Kryptic4L]

Yes I did.

For once the project went better then expected only a very small drip remained afterwards, everything feels very solid in there. If I get peeved off enough about the drip I picked up a back up plan today. I've kinda been looking for an excuse try this out. But I will probably just leave it alone as things are much quieter now.

Running 300 micron brs socks. These things need to be pushed into place. But are solid once in place.

Mother f$@&er .......... Feeling very frustrated tonight.

I've had two tangs, one tomni and one PB marinating in the basement for over a week. They seemed content in the 50 gallon cube. The tomini hid all day in a pipe the pb could not get to, when they both were out and about they showed no signs of aggression towards each other.

They did very well during the first week of prazi. However did not seem very interested in food past the first 2 days .

Started cupramine two nights ago. After I found the pb crashing into a rock repeatedly. Measured the water did the calculations and dosed accordingly. Went and bought. A copper test kit, only to find out it wa not compatible with cupramine. Went to get another test kit tonight, before I administered the second dose. And found the tomini dead when I got home, and the PB on his last breath.

Just been feeling like every one step forward I take 5 backwards. the more I try and do things right, the more things are going wrong.

R.i.p PB, tomini, mystery wrasse, lawn mower man .

I had many fish come and go through the years, tonight's loss of the pb from mr happy go lucky to dead in. 5 hours. Is really hitting me hard, it's gotta be the big eyes.

[spit.fire]

Sorry to hear about the loss, always sucks to lose a fish

I'm real worried about when I have to transfer my purple tang to its new tank
