Thanks. Been enjoying your build. I’ll get back to it this week. Found the source I’d the leak in an upstairs bathroom.Can’t wait to see more! Looks like it’s going to be a very cool build

Water leaks are the worst in a houseThanks. Been enjoying your build. I’ll get back to it this week. Found the source I’d the leak in an upstairs bathroom.
At least it wasn’t reef tank related (this time!)Water leaks are the worst in a house
Thanks. I am a homeowner and will end up repairing this myself. We just moved in this summer. I found the upstairs toilet was not bolted down, the wax ring failed, and that was the cause of the leak. I will replace the ring snd bolt down the toilet tonight. I am going to let the ceiling dry this week to determine if I need to cut drywall or if a local patch/paint repair will fix it. Either way it’s going to be PITA because the ceiling is smooth and it’s a big room. I’ll probably have to paint the whole ceiling.@rishma do you rent or own? Not tryna be nosy... but if ur a home owner screw paying for it just take that whole piece of dry wall out, find the source of the leak replace with pvc if possible and coat pvc with pool noodle , then replace the drywall with more drywall tape up seams mud over it and paint it, or go with ship lap it might be cheaper to buy 3 or 4 4 x8 sections and cut to size if u have a 7.5ft ceiling most run 7.75 or 8 now a days
Boom 180$ fix
Same thing happened in my old house before the divorce. Bathroom in the master bedroom leaked and trashed the kitchen ceiling similar to your pics. Biggest issue was like you: big flat ceiling. Kitchen in that house was 54x18 so I was NOT painting the whole ceiling. Especially since the ceilings were 10 feet high over there (big fancy house etc... you get it). I ended up repairing the area and using my paint sprayer and feathering around the area to blend it into the rest of the ceiling. You could not tell the difference in the end. A couple rolls of plastic and some prep work ended making it a much smaller job. Maybe it'll help your situation. Give it a few days to dry out and see what's there for actual damage. In my case it affected a seam (of course) so I had to repair before painting.Thanks. I am a homeowner and will end up repairing this myself. We just moved in this summer.

Awesome. Thank you!Looking good. It'll save you some hassle if you remove the tabs on the side that overlap on the raceways:
Thank you! Cord routing in a small space takes so much more time than on bigger tanks it will be worth it but super time consuming.Looks pretty clean to me... good job
Oh I know... I have a 60 cube as well. Not much room under there with a 20g sump and UVThank you! Cord routing in a small space takes so much more time than on bigger tanks it will be worth it but super time consuming.
My dream tank is 250-300 gallons with a fish room behind it so I can have the sump elevated and everything at waist-chest height. Crouched down under stand running wires is a literal pain in my back. At lease with the all-in-one I won’t be under there Messinng with a sump. Dreams…Oh I know... I have a 60 cube as well. Not much room under there with a 20g sump and UV
Yeah, I was building all of the prior to the divorce. I don't have room where I am now for that so I make due for now. I had 1050sq ft framed out for my man cave with a 14x16 fish room behind the tank built into the wall. This was the wall behind where the bar was going with the big fish tank in the wall. That doorway you see was the doorway into the fish room. I have a video of a walk through of the entire area somewhere.My dream tank is 250-300 gallons with a fish room behind it so I can have the sump elevated and everything at waist-chest height.

Yep, that’s exactly what I’m dreaming. I relocate for work too frequently to take the plunge plus my current house is pretty small but someday…Yeah, I was building all of the prior to the divorce.

Yup... I'll get there again. Just going to take a few years.Yep, that’s exactly what I’m dreaming. I relocate for work too frequently to take the plunge plus my current house is pretty small but someday…
