joporeefpro's 1000 gallon TWV build

Nice job! It's really cool to read this from beginning to end and see the transformation in your tank from "new" to "mature". Wish I had done something like this to chronicle my progress. Keep up the great work!:)

3rd leaking calcium reactor from Bill Wann @aquariumengineering just finished re gluing all of the half tight fittings shipped with clear junk silicone on them. Never again! Buyer beware

I’m curious, is that one of his automated calcium reactors? The newest version out, I have been looking at them for some time.

All built by the same junk guy... I would stay away! Buy a mrc!

I’m not leaving my custom GEO reactor. I was just wondering if you had one of the new versions of his reactors. The automated ones

Just got a MRC one. Amazing product an their support is... let me say this... more professional? Bill seems to be a toddler in a "BIG" costume his responses to me were along the lines of "It must be something you are doing, couldn't be my reactor"

Thank you for taking the time to post your build here, it allows many of us to live vicariously through you!! Looking at my 20 gallon like :rolleyes:

A friend of mine is getting out of the hobby with another baby on the way and the acquisition of new business also. I am saddened that he is leaving me all alone in my area as far as friends in the hobby go, however he has a bamboo shark he hatched that he is attached to. He is anticipating a new tank build in the future, asked if i would take him, i assume to hold for him, but i am not optimistic he will ever get back in the hobby. That being said, talk me out of it? I have always wanted to try a shark but have been to scared. I am going to grab it today and i will put it in my fuge as i am undecided on whether or not I can keep it / want to keep it. Input welcome!
