Rags2Riches - The Learning Curve. 125g

Shopping and ordering plumbing fittings today. I am leaning towards precision marine so I can get the color I want.

Any recommendations?

Fuscia and then maybe something that will clash for a nice contrast ?

So happy to see the BTA making it's way out from the shadows. It ate a nice chunk of LRS Frenzy today.

The midas blenny has a neighbor now.

Sweet to see that BTA moving into view more great color

Thanks man. Canister filter and DIY elbow grease is winning. We'll just leave out the sps graveyard and .3 po4. ;Hilarious

So... build has been pushed back to Sunday. (His wife is busy that day) lol...

Just placed the order for all the specialty plumbing I have planned from BRS. Typical stuff like unions and bends will be a home depot run.

I am going with custom colors on the plumbing. Will be sanding the fittings and going with good old DIY painting method of champions, hi-gloss spray in a bottle baby!

I ran through all of this with Tyler, Josh, and Matt over at @Bulk Reef Supply an hour ago. Over the phone.

Just wanted to say thanks for everything and the help and advice all of you. I have never done anything like this in my life. And it's time to hang up the canister on the garage wall. I would have never got it right the first time without you guys. Thanks so much. Order has been placed.

Should be here Friday, as long as the weather, murphy's law, and freak Caveman accidents dont happen. Forecast looks nice. That knocks one potential delay off anyways.

Tick..
Tick...

Tock.

An inch a day, the RBTA is making it's way right out to the hotspot under the hydra. I can picture it feeling similar to us in the North stepping outside in March and feeling like we didnt need the coat, ahhh.. sweet spring sunshine. So nice. ;Joyful

 

[RichtheReefer21]

In love...

In love...

You’re going to force me to order one...
