Ok so i got the ro/di rack mounted and all filters put in. I have the holding tanks all pressure washed and plumbed up ready to hold water. The 1/4” lines are almost done, I just need a few more fittings and I’ll be ready to start making water.
I’m still waiting on the acrylic to come back from the laser/ CNC. Once that’s done and put together I can get the tank plumbed.
I also decided to go a little different with my lighting. Rather than building a light rack I’m doing a hybrid fixture. I have a 60” aquatic life 4 bulb t5 fixture coming. I’m still running 3 radion xr30 pro’s in the hybrid fixture. As for t5 bulbs I’m going to run 2 blue plus, purple plus, and a true actinic.
I purchase pvc board to put on bottom of the tank. I am still going to do sand but if it gets bare at all the white pvc will help to camouflage it. I also got the plywood needed to get the stand extension done. I’m going to use the pvc board for the top of the stand figuring it will hold up better for my work area.
A few other random items have arrived and I’ll be worked in as time going on. The mp40 extensions, float switches, ATO pumps, bulbs and other fittings. It’s taking a while but I feel is going to be great in the end.
——and yes still only one red bucket——
