Your wireless bridge is going to be your wife. You could run Cat5 for now.

well having issues with the return pump dang thing keeps leaking once I get this stopped everything will finailly be up and running. I think plumbing is my least favorite part of setting up a new tank.

 

[melev]

Have you used Teflon Paste on the threads? Where's the leak exactly?

 

[Cherub]

Very nice looking set up

 

[strange33w]

ya i used it it was coming from the inlet originally then the drain plug I go tthose sealed now there is one more I am trying to hunt down.

 

[strange33w]

Plumbing is all complete and leak free. got most of the stand skin on just got to put the doors on once they dry got the tank running no just waiting on new ballest for the halides that should be in tomorrow. But a quick progress pic.

Got the lights up and running today had to hook them up to an outlet outside on my back porch as they keep tripping the breaker in the room the tank is in so this will have to work for now as I am leaving to go back to Afghanistan for a few more months so this will be my last update for a few months. But here is a pic of the tank with the lights on it is 2 250 Watt 20K radiums powered by lumitec select a watt ballasts.. I like the color alot so I am going to leave it as is till I get back then see I will see if it needs any supplementation. I will try to get the misses to snap some pics of the fish and corals *** they get added while I am gone.

Love your setup and especially the aquascaping. Kudos for your stocking plan, not the a little bit of everything but rather a natural look. My next tank will be like yours, sort of.

Be safe and thank you for your service.

Please stock the tank lightly as it takes a while for the rock to mature to the point of supporting livestock em masse.

thanks for the nice comments all

I can say that being away from home is helping me keep things slow. But at the same time not being able to do anything to my tank is frustrating. Looking foward to getting back to it in about 3 months.

Looks great. The sump and fuge are awesome. Look forward to more.

Got an E-Mail from the misses and my levels have gone down so I am about ready to start adding fish. Amonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 25. Gunna give it 2 more weeks to make sure everything is stable.
