Fish building/man cave build!

Wow so abrupt! Not even a tease or nothing...brutal.

I have come to expect nothing less after all these years.

If you'd like some input on the dosing options then just ask. In the meantime, here's some other input: I hate you.

I have designed the adjustable gates and the partitions. Kinda stumped on how I want to do the tubing holders. I know I will need 3 to start but I can see that changing, so I wonder if I should do 6.

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down... kick 'em where they sit, kick 'em all around.

Yeah, I'd go with 8. Might seem excessive but, you know me, I like things in excess! Then just print some cool plugs for the ones you do not need.

Ok, what in the Sam Hill is going on over herer? It's been two weeks.

I know we've texted about 3D printing but we need a thread update.

Guess you kicked him when he was down a little too much.

Not even close. He's not smart enough to know when he's had too much.

OK guys.

I have been super busy getting the kitchen finished only to have a drain behind the wall BEHIND THE NEW CABINETS leak!

Its all put back together and waiting on PVC glue to dry and the counter installers literally just left.

It looks fantastic!

As soon as the glue dries I can finish the drain install, cut and paint the kick panel covers and level the dishwasher and screw it in.

The yellow watchman and coral beauty have another week before they go in the display. The peppermint shrimp are finally kicking in and making some headway on the aiptasia and, it may be a bit soon to celebrate, but the Bali green slimer frags look fantastic and actually recovered some bare spots on them.

I have a couple spots of cyano and I am working on that.

I have started on the parts to the new sump and got more weldon 4.

I have a knock off mp40 due to be delivered today and I will pull one of the tunze for cleaning and put it in its place for now. I will rotate out the other two tunze for cleaning as well.

And finally, the 3d printed internal overflow has been working flawlessly so it's a success.

Oh and I never realized I was down so you'd have to kick up to reach me @That Crusso Kid :)

WTG with all the construction and tank work. Sucks about the leaking drain but happy you caught it early. I did have to read it twice because, initially, I thought you were talking about your leaky brain again.

Which pump did you buy? The Jecod DMP-40?

WE WANT PICS!

 

[dantimdad]

I got the DMP 30.

I am going through pics now.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Steve!

Happy New years ...

 

[Lowell Lemon]

Wishing you and your family the best in this new year!

I think tomorrow I will clean all the power heads, put in the new one and scrub the back of the tank as well.

Get her all purdy (despite aiptasia) for the photos Sunday.

Sorry gang, I didn't get as much done as I was planning. I have been having serious pain in my hip and can't do much.

I did install the Jebao dmp-30 and clean the front glass and a few other small things.

The initial impressions on the dmp-30 are very favorable. Super easy to setup. At 45% getting motion in the corals at the far side of the tank. I have pulled one of the tunze for now and cleaned two of the three and it will stay this way for a while. I will ramp up the dmp-30 over the next week and may possibly just get another one and keep the tunze for backups, salt mixing, etc. Longevity is the big question now. But, for about $150, so far, finally and affordable alternative to the mp-40. And, yes, I have owned mp-10 and two generations of mp-40.

One more update: The coral beauty and golden head sleeper are in the display and doing very well.

I already wished you a Happy New Year and that was not so easy for me. So, you'll just have to accept: hope you have an ok Monday.

I have been a serious pain in the backside and can't do much.

There, I made it truthful.


(Seriously, though, Happy New Year again to you and Sherry. Mostly Sherry but a little for you too. Hope your hip improves. I also hope you do more mobility excersises than me which is, at the moment, exactly zero. Sending you good and healing energy, my friend.)
