Temp until I can afford a nice cabinet. Ran cat 5 into the room from my router through the attic. That sucked but its done. Apex updated the date and time... need to connect to fusion and set up some outlets now.

The ato res is a 20 gallon brute. I have 15 gallons in it. Been evaporating a little less than a gallon a day at 74 degrees. No heater atm.

About 160 watts total right now. No heater no lights no skimmer.

Andre


Same as above hehe


I added Dr. Tims Ammoniom Chloride this evening. 4 drops per gallon to reach 2 mgl . 1200 drops sooo I counted the first 400 and just dumped the rest of the 2 oz bottle in.


Been adding MB7 and Biofuel daily for about a week and a half.


Going to test the ammonia level later tonight.


I have the Tunze 6155 and the Stream 3 6150 running at about 50% each.

Aquamaxx skimmers look solid, how do you like it?
Im cycling the tank currently. The skimmer is yet to go online. But they are nice quality and most use modified sicce pumps now. For the price they are hard to beat.

I love everything about this build!

The sump description on page 1 says 48” side, but it looks like a 60” sump. Which is it, and was it custom or one of their stock PVC/acrylic hybrids?

Sorry yeah its 60" long. They are local to me so I gave them the dimensions I wanted the layout and the features. It was a while ago so a lot of their designs have the features my sump does. I picked the pvc and weld color. Lids... not to familiar with whats on the site currently.
