100 Cadlights Rimless & 80 Rimless Frag Tank Build - SPS Heavy #SlowAndSteady

Just a little update on this build. I decided to paint my BRS Dual Reactor the same Red and Gray that the plumbing is.

Nice attention to detail!

I have the same reactor. You have given me an idea!

Small update with some 2 x 6's I had laying around in the garage. I built this saltwater mixing station the other day with my Dad and daughter. I know it's overkill, but it was free wood to me. I'm going to take the BRS RO/Di unit out from under sink and mount it to the vertical board. If I didn't have 1 barrel filled with saltwater and rock, I'd start on plumbing up the mixing barrels.

You’ve either done this before or have done a ton of research in advance...or both! Looks like things are off to a great start! Will be following along. Also, wishing you a fast and full recovery from your injury!

Got some lumber today.

If you don't already have one of these Kreg Jigs, go buy one immediately.

Standard 36 L x 18 W x 36 H 2 x4 stand. I'll skin this at a later date. Going to work on plumbing the tank tomorrow.

Nice time capsule!

@LilElroyJetson, never had a mixing station but do have plenty of time to research these days. Thanks for the well wishes. Saw a surgeon last week. L5 herniation, L4 bulge and a seperate fracture as well. Awaiting an appointment for a CT scan then a plate and screws to fix the fracture and a microdiscectomy to fix the damaged discs. Thanks again

Yikes. I’ve suffered a bulging disk before and that alone was painful, can’t imagine what you’re feeling but I’m sure you’ll pull thru here soon! On a positive note, my bulging disk got better on its own over the course of about a year so hopefully you get some of that luck. The way the human body heals itself is incredible. Good luck!

Thanks, that was something my Mom did with my daughters. It's full of stuff, guess they never bothered burying it.

Some filters and tubing came yesterday, so I'm going to work on this project today of mounting the RO/DI unit and changing out the filters.

BiGGiePauls33 · Apr 25, 2019

Couple of completed pics. Installed a drain into the waste pipe under the sink, put a ball valve on the supply line under the sink as well. Installed an RO Flush valve on top[ of the RO/DI unit. Don't mind the antique wall phone, lol. Not my house.

i know this build thread is taking forever, but here is some stuff I've received since the last update.

Little update today. Just finished up some plumbing on the water mixing station. I know the vertical pipe is crooked and yes this was done on purpose. This is a passthrough into the kitchen.
