I'm in process of draining my 150. It's sold. Go back to work Monday so I need this stuff done. Late night special! Tomorrow new tank comes in where old tank was.

Excellent! You're just moving right along :) I really wish mine was ready to fill but still need more cure time on my rock overflows and return.

Well I have to test tomorrow afternoon outside. Pray my seal job is good. Which I feel good about it. Than I'll be putting saltwater in the tank just to get it out of our kitchen in totes. Before I get killed. Lol. Not sure if my sump will be completed fully. But it will be close by tomorrow night. Right now I just have 2 boxes that are 24 X 15 x 15. Still need to put in some dividers. And whatever else.

I'll be getting my scape and sand in it after. Wish I had more time I just don't.

Today's progress. Tank filling just need to water test and do some plumbing. Drill a couple bulkheads in 2 piece sump. We close. Salt Water probably Tues or Wed.

[heathd.hd]

In place lights up put some water in just to get some totes out of the kitchen!

 

[heathd.hd]

Drain line is done! Sump has all the bulkheads drilled and done! Just need to run the return lines.

 

[heathd.hd]

Looking sweet man

I broke a bulkhead by hand. Still trying to get it right.

 

[heathd.hd]

Purchased a second bulkhead and broke that. Idk I must be super strong. I think I'm over tightening from the start so there leaking cause I keep tightening and snap. Split in half. Np wrenches. Just hand force.

 

[heathd.hd]

It's the 3/4" bulkheads that I'm tearing up. I'll try new ones again tomorrow and I'll be really nice to them!

 

[prsnlty]

Looks like maybe they are being over tightened. Only hand tighten them, no force- bully lol.

 

[prsnlty]

All kidding aside, are those original bulkheads? Maybe they're old and brittle. Have you tried replacing them?

 

[prsnlty]

Nvrmd. Just saw you got new ones. Did it work this time?

 

[heathd.hd]

Yah. The seal to the glass is leaking on me now. Grrrrr

 

[prsnlty]

Which seal, the one you just redid?

 

[heathd.hd]

Both. There hard to reach. It's just the 3/4" ones for the returns that are kicking my butt. Idk I gotta find my channel locks they need to be just a tad tighter.

 

[heathd.hd]

The 1" drains I got in there good hand tight and there working awsome. Had to work and I'm frustrated so I'll mess with it tonight when I get home.
