And so it begins again

[Rob.D]

Cleaned the skimmer and several pumps and other things today after a good vinegar soak today. The tank, the sump and lots of plumbing are next.

Well it's about time!

Well it's about time!

I know right! Seriously though my goal is to have it up and running by the MTRC swap in April so I have a little time :) It felt good to get started though.

 

[Dtackett]

itll feel better once its all swapped and you can show off the pics!! GET TO WORK!!! lol

 

[fishdoc11]

Still working on this

Got this bad boy all cleaned up

Pile o stuff with calcium deposits removed

 

[roadrashpaul]

Very nice! Excited for this one.

 

[fishdoc11]

Thanks! Not sure why it wouldn't let me remove the last redundant pic. Gotta get the overflow cleaned on the tank, which I'm working on with vinegar now. I smell like I've been pickling stuff all weekend :)

 

[pickupman66]

Nice pile o parts there man. Coming along nicely.

 

[fishdoc11]

Tank cleaned up pretty well. A couple of scratches but nothing terrible. Getting coraline off of a textured overflow isn't fun but I got most of it. Next up is painting the back then building a new stand.

Looking good doc. Cleaning a dirty tank is a pain and the overflows are the worst.

 

[Reefrookie220]

Gonna sell the jbj after the transfer? Been looking for one of those. Good luck with the set up. Coming along!

Yes I plan on selling the JBJ and stand. Not sure about the light.

Thanks man! I'm actually thinking about taking the overflow out and putting a Synergy one on now but I think that's just the insanity of a tank build talking to me.

 

[gmoney243]

Rofl right! But i have been thinking of doing the same down the road when i get rdy gor a big dt. Low profile overflows look so nice

 

[gmoney243]

Or external overflow. Would like more space in the DT

 

[fishdoc11]

Dibs! Lol.

Probably still going to be 2 or 3 months but if you are still interested then we'll talk;)

 

[fishdoc11]

Got the back painted today.

 

[Rob.D]

Very nice Chris.

Synergy overflows are awesome, highly recommended, especially on smaller tanks to open things up more.

Yeah I'm going to go with one on my next tank and I will just start with a non RR. This one is already too far along to go back. I have to call it somewhere for budget and time:)
