Right?????? But I must admit I did like his comment about matching up the Blennies on R2R's match.com ..... Just think of it..... Lonely fish ...... Oh scratch that as it would be something else will have to thank @helen ann for. ;)
 
Blennies match.com. We can have @helen ann sitting behind a desk with Mr. Cutie doing the sales pitch on why to sign up.:rolleyes::D "Are you wet? Are you lonely? Do you eat pellets? We we can help you for a small membership fee".;)
 
Lets stick to the hobby side of this build thread for a change.......
@helen ann What kind of sand will you be using and are you doing a DSB?
Any plans on some egg grate under your rock or just plain on the bottom?
How far above your tank you're hanging these lights?
Didn't read anything about a controller but will you be using one and if so which controller and why?
The flow pattern will be moderate or will you be using full blown EM mp40's QD?
Of course you will go for the Vectra M1 on the return pump do you?
What kind of reactor, in sump or out sump, two stage or one?
Did you thought about a CaRx for your ALK, CAL and MAG?
Where in your place you'll be placing the tank any pics of the location?
Make sure you use a surge protector as most DC equipment will fail in the next two years give and take if you don't.
What are you going to use to cycle your system, shrimp, LR, Dr Tims or nothing and going the long route?
Will it be hard plumbed or using tubing or half and half?
What will you planning to do about the temperature as you will have a lot of equipment going on in a still not so big tank?
Any plans on setting up a QT at the same time?
Will you be using backup batteries............??
I'm sure you will filter over socks in your sump?
Maybe with a new tank you can go Triton and no more water changes and have more time for other fun stuff or will you be the bucket girl once a week?
I'm sure I missed some questions but.........
I updated the terms of my thread yesterday Sir ... Post #1 & Post #373

Hmmmmmmmmm, doubt @Diesel will ever be on the Naughty List! Don't you know?! Diesel is the Santa without the sleigh;), I have read about all the wonderful things he has done and still does!:) Not to mention all the wonderful things he has done for Steve, which just blew this lil' newbies mind, those call to action threads wouldn't have been as successful as they were without him!:)

He does have a Santaesque quality about him. :) Very much goes above and beyond to offer help on so many different levels.

Think he will take off the coat and tie and stay on the thread for awhile? ;)
 
#Mods, please close this thread, apparently My lil' thread has upset the powers to be ... Sorry!

Thanks to everyone, I will create another build thread when I have everything ready to go with the new tank and will keep the new thread on topic. Will miss this lil' thread ... Had a blast!!!:):p

Who's upset? Tell them to talk to me! LOL!

It's all fun and games till you forget to turn off the rodi unit and end up with water all over the floor

To stay on topic you just have to mention product stuff like

Thinking about using pe mysis as a main food source

See now it looks as if we are still on topic lol

My ro unit screws into the faucet has a little push diverter button and it constantly blows the line out or pops loose from the faucet I assume from the pressure today was the last time I get soaked trying to make topoff water spent 2 hrs at casa depot now it shouldn't happen again lol

See @helen ann it just takes motivation to get things done for the tank your turn :-P

Go to the hardware store and get a sharkbite band adapter. It seems your fitting needs to be replaced. You can also get a water line compression fitting and still come off the line and put a shut off in the line. When I get in tonight I can give you examples of the fitting that I am thinking about.
