Victoria Music's Custom 180 Rebuild

[Johnike]

I am doing pretty good friend. How is the shoulder?

Crappy, how's the skull and contents?

Who left the door unlocked?

Hiya Johnny

Greetings and hallucinations my friend!

Skull is healed, contents seem scrambled still but that might just be me.

Forgot these work shots...

you guys the sump drain weir before the filter sock weir has a leak.

Noooo!!!!!

I'd sue the manufacturer! Demand a refund!

Edit: Wait.. is it leaking out of the sump or leaking from the drain weir into the filter sock area?

 

[Victoria M]

LOL. I am gonna sue the cement guy for sure.

as you can see quite a bit of water was leaking into the skimmer section. And it is kinda tight in the skimmer section. I might have to put my UV pump, and media filter pump in a different area. Like the refugium section. not ideal.

Umm.. why are you even worried about that? I'd let it go and be happy with it. That little amount of water won't change the performance of the sump at all. It will likely get clogged soon anyway.

That is true. I think I am just disappointed in my work/outcome. I feel like I fought that cement tube and lost the battle! lol. And it is not something you can easily adjust or improve like with DIY glass aquarium sumps.
It looks pretty good. The cut acrylic pieces are excellent. It will be covered with aquarium gunk in no time.

Nice work Victoria (for a scrambled brain ;Woot ). I do not think the little leak will make much difference.

 

[Victoria M]

Alright you guys. You make too much sense to ignore. And many folks use no mechanical filtering.

Was someone naughty? I may have missed it.

In the last few days most of my corals were closing up. Then this morning I saw her nip a favorite coral. The red/pink LPS. whatsitcalled?
Right in front of me. I had a flash back to my queen angel taunting me. Caught her in less than 5 minutes.



I am a bit disappointed. I really wanted a lamarcks angel in the DT.

I have removed 3 of 5 angels due to coral munching, nice catch.

Thank you. I don’t know what to do with her now.

 

[Brew12]

Thank you. I don’t know what to do with her now.

It's almost lunch time so I better not comment what came to mind...

 

[najer]

Thank you. I don’t know what to do with her now.

Sump then lfs?

 

[Victoria M]

Sump then lfs?

She is current in my QT. I hope a LFS will take her. I hope they give me store credit.

They Should. I would like one in my sps tank. Good looking fish.
