And my wife was wondering why I made this blog! ;ShamefullyembarrasedI’ll never forget viewing the photos of how you got the tank hiked way up there! Lol.

Thank you!! If I had the patients, I would have 3D printed a lot of it. But it's been 3 months and it's not wet yet! It was so surreal to see water flowing through the RO/DI.Making progress! Love how intricate all of your wood framing has turned out!
Three months and no water yet— so I’d say you have the “patience” part of the hobby hands down!
I'm totally cool with pet rocks in saltwater for awhile!I hear that Bubble-Bath helps cycle a tank faster. (NOT!) Lol. We love everything you are doing, and the photos are great
I'm not so sure a ton of people are following, but I'm very happy to have those that are!Negotiate hard— explain to her that all of your ‘R2R adoring fans’ are depending on this build!
Ain't that the truth and a bit wisdom. Can't always think of everything. On the bright side, a few Tee fittings and we'll be back in business! Going to try adding the vent stack without moving the pumps first. Didn't doing any calculations, but hoping the flow from the existing piping possibly reduces the max head height? If that doesn't work, I'll lower the pumps.Wow ;Meh. What’s the quote? ‘The best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go amiss’?
It's not all good in the neighborhood tonight. Connected the water changes pumps for the freshwater. No leaks, okay, great! Plugged a pump in for a test run. Works great! Awesome! Unplug the pump.... the water's not stopping. Awe man, it created a full siphon. Had to close the ball valve to get it to stop.
I'm thinking I have to add a vent stack, but the ceiling is lower than the max head height of the pump. Vacuum breakers are brass, so that wont work.... probably have to lower the pumps so I can add the vent stack.
I'm probably unclear about how the flow is going, but would it help to change the 90/90 fittings to goose necks? Or would it be possible with how the system is set? Switching direction'll generally break a siphon.
