Curious on your painting. I see you painted all your fittings, any issues with the primer and glue still bonding to the pipe or did you have to clean the overspray out first.

Worst part was taping. I used painters tape to mask off every part that would be primed and glued. I then stuffed the insides with paper towels. It was brutal on my neck but worth it.Curious on your painting.

You should have seen my husbands face when he saw me painting on the floor. Priceless.I like how u just painted on ur floor. Lol.

Thanks for the info, I see that now when I zoom in on fittings. I bet that was tedious particularly with your neck.You should have seen my husbands face when he saw me painting on the floor. Priceless.
They rip it out in two weeks.
I'll build my canopy in there, too.... paint away!
Tedious ... painful .... worth it. I painted way more fittings than I needed. I wanted the ability to think as I went.Thanks for the info, I see that now when I zoom in on fittings. I bet that was tedious particularly with your neck.
They said no - told me to take the rubber cover off of the magnet. It seems to hold but it's not very strong.For your magnets, sicce may be able to send you stronger magnets that work for your pumps.
For a nominal fee of course
Love the overflow dimensions and angle of your return!PLUMBING IS COMPLETE!!!! Fingers crossed against leaks and hoping the glue holds that silicone hose on the pump. LOL
Hoping I got the heights of the overflow pipes right for the siphon. Fingers crossed.
Have about 50 gallons of RO made. As soon as I finish running electrical, I'll mount the RO to the stand.
So close and yet so far....

Thank you! Waiting on a Kasa power strip from Amazon. It was due yesterday but Amazon said that they attempted delivery but failed because the "business was closed" at 10:41 pm. So ... annoyed ... I certainly don't advocate Amazon making people work until midnight delivering packages but if they are going to deliver that late, then don't lie. I'm not a business and I made certain the porch door was unlocked. Cameras show that they were never here. Oh well .... it's one little hiccup. We're getting there.Good job!
That tank will be really cool once it’s filled.
Excruciatingly painful and subsequently slow. Lots of working under the stand which is murder on the neck - at least for me. Some progress was made. I found the least of all evile for the Kasa strips. Not my first choice but the cords are so short! UGH. I mounted the ATO . For whatever reason the holes for the dosing tubes in the Trigger Sapphire were too small to accommodate either the ATO tubing or the dosing tubing. That was nerve wracking drilling a new sump.how did todays project go?
We'll see when the water fills. The rep from Sicce said to remove the rubber boot. They are holding but that is dry and they are not running yet. Fingers crossed.I'm glad you got through it! Did you get a solution to your magnet issue?
I'm not super familiar with Sicce...is the magnet part internal or external?We'll see when the water fills. The rep from Sicce said to remove the rubber boot. They are holding but that is dry and they are not running yet. Fingers crossed.
I couldn't tell from that link, but maybe you could test which side is magnetic. I was just thinking if the magnet part is external, maybe Matt from Octo Aquatics could make you an external mount. The N52 magnets he uses are super strong. Might help instead of replacing your powerheads
I actually have one of his magnets. It did not do the job. I reached out to a magnet company. He explained that because there is a magnet on both sides, they need to be an equal match.I couldn't tell from that link, but maybe you could test which side is magnetic.
