[aquavista99]

A few updates! Chris Benner of Sticks N Stones Aquarium Cabinetry recently built me a matching low boy stand for my large sump and it matches the existing trim for the big tank as well. Very pleased!

Amazing.... In for updates.

Thanks for checking in, Mike! @red02 Before I left for vacation, I moved a lot of live rock over to the new system and mapped out exactly how I am going to finish the plumbing. After filling up the big tank for a water test, I quickly realized my existing dehumidifier could no longer keep up with the added humidity in the basement so I added a second unit as well.

The new unit is basically a larger version of my existing dehumidifier. The plan going forward will be to run both units simultaneously for humidity control.

Any updates on the tank.

My existing unit (Santa Fe Advance 2)



Meet its larger twin, my newest arrival (Santa Fe Force)





Lots of Schedule 80 PVC pipe arrived as well







And finally, I took a long break again (vacation)

Thank God you weren’t affected by the red tide or the Cyanobacteria. We are really suffering over here...

 

[aquavista99]

Thanks, Justin. Glad to be back my friend!

I monitored the red tide and glad I didn't cancel my vacation as the beaches and fishing in the area were just fine during our stay. Beaches to the South were hit hard though.

That's where I'm from! Were you there for the offshore boat races? I live in Tampa now but rent a condo on Lido (Limetree) for that week each year to watch the races.

 

[aquavista99]

I will post more updates when I return from New Orleans

Any updates?

Unfortunately, we just missed the boat races this year. First weekend in July if I recall.

Looks like you got a good about of work ahead of you with all that plumbing.

 

[Wildcats1023]

Hope your doing well Tim, haven't had any updates for awhile

 

[aquavista99]

Sorry buddy, I have been very busy. All is well. The big tank is almost ready for fish. Looking forward to having more room to grow out all my new additions as well.
