Once you have things under way with the store and if you start a YouTube channel would be very cool to see videos on things like building a plywood tank. Or just stuff about the store. I am repurposing my salty 10g into fw after it's contents go to the breeder to grow out and resale plants. Your 12'er inspired me!

We are going to video the classes we do and post them on our FB page and Youtube.

I have been asked to do a series of classes on building a plywood tank. IF I do it, it won't be a free class because of materials cost. And, we will video every step.

The store is looking great! I'm down with nurse duties for Najer. I've never got to cuff a Brit.

I can't wait for you too see it in person. By next weekend, the marine side will be completely salty and stuff swimming around.

I use soil with a sand cap for my fw plants. Grows the root heavy ones really well. The possibilities are endless with that tank!

 

[Lowell Lemon]

Any thoughts about ADA soils for the plant tanks? Love the progress. The last time I saw plywood tanks was in the south with bait fish for sale lol!

 

[dantimdad]

The ADA soils work well but are $$$. We are going to carry Seachem planted tank products. Been using them for years and like them.

I took a quick inventory last night. I have enough salt to make up about 13,000 gallons of water!

Good thing it's going to be on sale.

Another pallet shipment today and another 300 pounds of aragonite. Almost set on dry goods.

It's ridiculous keeping track of all the suppliers and growers.

Still need a freezer and small glass door fridge.

First trough done except for beauty panels on the outsemide and stand and a little silicone cleanup

 

[dantimdad]

This doesnt belong here but...

That is about 2/3 of the plants we have

Woot!

 

[count krunk]

I'm curious if your new flooring has a moisture barrier already on it or do you have to put down plastic?

I've lined a lot of floors and some car trunks with plastic.
It was a fine addition when they incorporated it into flooring. I'm not too sure they'll ever do that to trunks though. Even if I ask very nicely.

The weathertech liner works well. I've heard...

Yes, it does as my dad has them on his car. As it happens, the HQ and manufacturing facilities are only about 10 minutes from his house. However, for my purposes, the liner needs to be inexpensive, quickly removable, disposable and leave no trace of what goes into the trunk.

I think he said that the flooring has a 12 hour moisture barrier

You're confusing waterproof rating with moisture barrier.

 

[dantimdad]

We are using a roll out moisture barrier under it. To be honest it just lookes like a roll of trash bags lol. Its not recommended to use the foam on concrete unless its over plastic and built on the flooring. I did it once and ended up having to repair it. Luckily it was a small area.
