Paul’s 240 gallon upgrade!

[Dubs83]

Awesome job Paul, looking great. Love the wire sheathing.

I only wish Neptune could have helped me out so quickly. Can’t blame them though, really. 6 year old, second hand apex lite. I’ll figure out a replacement soon and get my board going too.

I might run some EL wire around it and have conditional coloring based on alerts. It’s going to need some extra bells on to compete with yours!!

Oh man! That would be awesome!!

Yea, Neptune really came through for me this time. They initially said they’re scheduling a week in advanced but I explained to them what I do for a living and how much I depend on the system to work and they called me the next day.

That wiring cover is sick! You should quit your job and start installing avionics....LOL JK...I think the worse job in the world would be an A&P....always working on them but never flying them....

Thanks, Taylor. We are roughly 20 gallons from making the overflow wet. Super excited!

Guys and gals, it’s going to happen today!

 

[Alexreefer]

Soo excited. Is the sump wet?

Yeah, that could be any tank, anywhere. We need a full pano shot with today’s WSJ in frame as proof [emoji6]

Start it! I want to see that overflow rip!

Any chance we could get avwide angle view showing your apex board and a couple of the extended outlets? Just wondering if you went ‘high’ and dropped them, or went straight around the middle of the room. And it’s easier to look at the pics than to explain exactly what I mean by that...

Cheers Paul!


Edit- post 229 would suggest you went high due to the door on the left, and your conduit going up...

Thanks, bud!

Yea sure. And yes, I went high with everything to keep it above the water line. Plus that door into the utility area made it hard to run at the middle of the wall.

The exposed cables are probes. wanted to minimize potential interference

Perfecto, great pics. Appreciate it

Glad it helped. Conduit is cheap and easy to work with. I used a heat gun to make some bends I couldn’t find at the store lol
