Victoria Music's Custom 180 Rebuild

[Dragon52]

i wish I could move to Fl. lol

 

[Rybren]

That is totally the LR I am gonna order! I am super psyched about it. Very expensive but that is why we have been setting money aside for it.

Nice. Lucky lady.

 

[Victoria M]

I'd love to get some also but the minimum order of 100lbs plus shipping got to be to much for me, if I knew some others in my area we could do a split but I don't know of anyone. Maybe check the LFS & see if they know anyone.

Yeah, I agree. It is a little steep. I need a lot of rock for this tank, so the 100 lb minimum will work out well for me. I think I will be very happy though.

 

[Victoria M]

also, you meant rebuild when you said rebuild! Looking great so far

Thank you so much. It has been quit the remodel.

 

[Victoria M]

Nice. Lucky lady.

Thanks. I feel I am blessed more than I deserve. Lucky indeed.

From everything I've seen & heard about them you will be.

Gosh, I hope so. If this does not go well I might be done.

I've seen some youtube stuff where the actually included some extra items

 

[Victoria M]

That would be cool. But I won't cry if no bonus comes with it. Lol

 

[Dragon52]

Don't expect= no regrets. Lol

 

[Victoria M]

LOL. I only expect to get what I paid for and great customer service. And that is why I am choosing TBS.

I love this for water changes. I added the larger section of the python to the drain hose and now it reaches the tempory tank. I bought this thing 12 years ago. A great investment.

Mine is probably 20 years old lol great investment if you havr large or multiple tanks.

just to update the coral banded shrimp regew his claw with a molt, and the blenny is still alive and kickng. He must be eating pellets because he looks pretty good.

 

[Victoria M]

We finally had a chance to finish a few more things in the fishroom.

 

[Rybren]

Nice. Where's the pic of you in the mermaid costume

Lol! Never gonna happen. See earlier pic...merman picture!

 

[Rybren]

Lol! Never gonna happen. See earlier pic...merman picture!

But, but, but I was so looking forward to it. Sniff

 

[Victoria M]

LOL! So the next thing is move the DI resin filter. It can not be so out of allignment with the wood. Gonna bug me. And put the insulation board in the rafter to cover the pink insulation. Also going to try to convince one more hole is fine so I can run a line outside for the skimmer.

 

[Victoria M]

I have made some modifications to my sump. I made the overflow teeth a bit deeper to drop the water level down about an inch, and I added a black baffle to block light from the skimmer section. And now I am going to make a two piece lid to reduce evaporation and salt creep, and I think I am going to glue in a section of acrylic to hold filter socks. I figure I can use them or not but glueing the holder in now while it is dry is the smart thing to do. I am also going to make a heater holder and a tubing holder to secure my gfo filter pump. It sometimes comes off and it frustrates me. and I am going to make the foam boads to block the yucky pink insulation between the rafters.
To Do:
1-lids
2-acrylic sock holder
3-acrylic heater holder
4-acrylic pump/tube holder
5-cut insulation boards
Boy, I got a lot to do. Better get off R2R and get busy!
