Happy to hear things are cycling well and coming together.

If I recall correctly, you're kind of in the sticks with a long driveway. Curious to know who the ISP is that you've decided to use. Mind sharing?

Very cool the acrylic guy will let you use his equipment. I'd be there all the time!

Digging the float switches. How will you be sealing the PVC?

Only provider who has lines to tap is spectrum. I will be trenching and installing the conduit, they will be running wire and making all connections. It was a hassle to agree on a price but it will now be done. I did call them when I trenched and ran conduit for the power, and they said not needed they direct bury. Now it needs conduit and buried 30” deep, which is ridiculous being in my driveway but oh well.

Ya after all this I’m planning on purchasing my own laser and starting to produce my own products. I have a name and website domain purchased. Hope to have that done before the end of year but we shall see.

With it being pvc I will just use a bulk head at top of holding tank and cap the end of pipe at bottom. All glued as to keep water out.

So tank is clear but I am having micro bubbles like crazy! I am not sure why but depth doesn’t matter, and all parameters are good. Has to be something in my water the skimmer wants out.

Diatoms also are starting to subside. I’m looking to get coraline starter from algae barn, has anyone ever used it? I want to start getting it established but really don’t want to get it from anyone else’s tank because of pests. Here is link to the starter.. https://www.algaebarn.com/shop/aquarium-supplies/coralline-algae-bottle/

I should be getting the qt setup and get more fish going. The clowns are doing very well.

Also I’m trying to setup a time to meet to have acrylic cut. More than likely with the holidays it will end up happening in January.

You too!!

On another note the fish came in and all but the sailfin and turbo snails arrived. I’m super stoked on the fish and sizes! Orange shoulder is very small so we get to watch him grow and go through all the body changes. They are in qt tank and all eating well so far.
