Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

good morning I'm off to Decatur IL. I service some apartments this morning. Usually get the munchies after servicing them.

@NY_Caveman beautiful.

@Katrina71 sounds amazing.

I thought you're supposed to fumigate them not smoke 'em out...?
 
Good morning! I am off to ... wait, I am still on staycation! Laying low for me today. :)

I actually spent several hours on the tank yesterday, but have little to show for it. Maybe today will yield more actual results. Then again, maybe not. :).

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Did you atleast wipe the dust off everything? :p

The Tennessee reconnect will let me go to school for free! Yes!

Wow that's awesome! Congratulations!!!!!!

No, why do that? It will only get dusty again. I am looking at one and done with the cleanup. :p

A little dry fitting plumbing today. I can’t tell you how many times I ran the line from the scrubber to the manifold. I had to squeeze in a union at the spray bar for quick removal to clean the screen, a gate valve to adjust the flow, 5 90s and a flow meter with adapters to monitor the flow through the scrubber. A lot of stuff in a 16” run. I think this will be the final version.

It took a long time for me to figure this out. To access the pumps in that section, I would only have to undo the union, disconnect the two electrical plugs for the LEDs and lift the scrubber out of the way. Not ideal, but I wanted the scrubber to be easy to get to and serviceable from the front of the sump.

I also ran the line from the other pump (eFlux) to the manifold. Now the fun part of gluing it up. Now I have to run lines to the chiller, UV and the Siporax reactor behind the tank. On hindsight, I guess I should have posted this in my own thread. Sorry about that. :-)

@Fin
I also did some dry fit plumbing today :p
The final photo has some stuff drawn on...two lines where the pvc will be cut to go into the unions.
The blue circle that piece will be a Y connector tomorrow and have a pipe going downward toward the pump.
