Did you say you could see sharks and dolphins from your room? If so, Sweeet!

 

[Katrina71]

Yes, but the ocean doesn't have colored lights like the Haber Sump.

OMG! Even the ocean itself is envious!

Well here's where I am as of right now, finally got the intake side of the system wrapped up. The stand the pumps are sitting on is temporary while the permanent one is being built. I didn't have room for the amount of unions I wanted so where I couldn't I used threaded joints instead.

Now for a little lunch break and then on to the returns! And yes I'm well aware the underside of the plywood isn't painted.

But you’re going to fix that right?

Looks nice and clean. Great job.

Does this mean that by the end of the week you might finally have water (even if it is sans salt)?

Thank you! And yes, hopefully by the end of the day today it will have some water in it

Just for you. An ocean view.

I love it! Thank you Still jealous of the view!

But you’re going to fix that right?

The paint? Yes once the leak test is done I will look after the painting of the underside. When I was painting originally I had run out of paint at the time and decided to just leave it until I had the motivation and time to do it again. The outside of the stand needs a little more work as well after moving it, some touch ups and a final coat should do the trick

We are going to hold you to that, and since the world seems to be on lock down, we have nothing to do but watch for updates.

Well I dunno if I can withstand that kind of pressure ;Blackeye

Well, plumbing is 100% complete on the closed loop. Testing tomorrow morning as it's a little late right now to fill it up.

It's not as straight away as I had hoped, due to the space constraints I mentioned yesterday. But, still happy with it, I might have to upgrade the pumps given all the extra head height involved. But we'll see how things go tomorrow first.

 

[JoshH]

Here we go!!!

Hey @Fin, does this mean my build is wet now? Or does this not count because I'll be draining it again?

 

[i_declare_bankruptcy]

BRUH I read through 29 pages and you're just now filling it?! Joking. Kind of.

Looks awesome!

 

[Katrina71]

It almost counts.

 

[najer]

It almost counts.

That is like saying the damp spot in your undies is close to hitting the toilet!

You and that potty mouth of yours keeps getting dirtier and dirtier by the day!

I've seen @Katrina71's thread floating around but never clicked out of intimidation.

You should put more water in it. And then put some salt in it.

 

[Victoria M]

You are taking a beating over a dry tank right as it is the closest it has been. Bunch of meaners. ;Hilarious

I do agree it can be a scary place sometimes with people like @najer Kicking around and all in due time working on a couple leaks right now first!
