It’s a 4th of July miracle! Congratulations!!I wasn't going to update this thread anymore, until I finally got water in the tank. That happened yesterday. Only 4½ years after I dug this thing out of storage for a second run.
Leak check was ok. Had to re-do a couple screw in fittings with drips, but all is good.
Thank you. Granted, it is definitely quirky - a little like me.Great to see this updated, looking very nice.
Only one more to go! I actually played with it a little over this last week. How is your build coming?Looking good! Glad to see another tank wet and running
Yes, it was a miracle! At least it has water running through it and I can tweak it some more. Adding the salt today. I did the leak test with RO/DI. Our tap water is so terrible )500-600 TDS terrible) that I did not want to even use it for a leak test.It’s a 4th of July miracle! Congratulations!!
Coming from a Scurvy sort, like yourself, that is high praise. Argh!This tank is simply to cool for school!
Thanks Travis. I am not getting any younger, so...He's back!
It is a stand-by air pump to provide emergency oxygen and water movement. It has a relay that stays open when it is plugged in to AC power. If power goes off the relay turns on the battery powered air pump and it will run for quite a while. A couple of these is what helped save Ian's 135 during Hurricane Rita. Cheap insurance.What does this do?
Of course. I have been using that stuff for 30+ years. I also have used it (doubled up) to block light.Would you mind if I borrow some of your ideas? I like the needlepoint canvas.
Appreciate that. Thanks for looking!"ARG," Mate, Ye's a Pirate fer certain! So interesting!
Sand. Shallow though.Have you decided bare bottom or sand?
I made the tank and the chest. Used a 20L for my sump and cut all of glass baffles to fit.Better late than never! I completely understand the slow build, that’s been my approach too, whether or not it’s intentional.
This is maybe the coolest looking tank I’ve seen. My kinda style. Where did you find it?
A little. I can walk today. At the doctor’s office at the moment.Are you feeling better today?
