calvin415 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Thanks everyone! I'm getting a little sleep here and there, and I still have a long way to go on the garage, even after 2 days of work on it... Okay, well more like 1 full day. Here's a link to a couple pics if you're interested. http://www.thescmas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3743 Edited March 11, 2009 by calvin415 Quote Link to comment

calvin415 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Thanks everyone! I guess you've all waiting long enough for more pics... Here's my new booster pump on my RODI unit... It's working great now! LOL! 80 PSI! My barrel with circulation pump for pumping water to the barrel under the tank. Pretty simple, just turn on the pump and take the hose to the 15g barrel under the tank. I have a valve on the end of the hose so I can fill it with control at the end source. Some equipment shots... I still have to skin the canopy, one more things still to do... Sorry for the messy room, I was working from home today and took a quick break to snap some pics.

NanoReefNovice Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 COOL!! I like the pics of the nuts and bolts. Quote Link to comment
mikellini Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) In the shot with the couch, it looks smaller than I thought it would be. Kinda like 3 of my tanks (40L) combined. Very cool... what kind of skimmer was that again? Edited March 17, 2009 by mikellini Quote Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 What are the 3 round circles in the end of the wall/stand? Fans? Vents? Quote Link to comment
Kraylen Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Its like the 3 shells from demolition man. Quote Link to comment

khinsanmu1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 WOW The people who live with you are so lucky.I wish I have the basement like yours .Very nice jobs with you tank build. Quote Link to comment
calvin415 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 mikellini a tad larger still, it's like 3 16x16x48's end to end to end... Skimmer is an Octopus 200 recirc. Scott, they are grills for exhaust fans... I have 3 blowing out with a vent on the other end of the stand where I have the ballast mounted. I need to seal the doors better so the air is pulled from the other end of the stand, it's a tad humid under there right now as the air comes in around the doors instead... Nothing bad, but it should be dry with the air those 3 fans move. -E Quote Link to comment
oceanhighz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 it's been awhile since I've been on this site, life changes and such, but not long before I stopped coming to NR frequently I was amazed by your 10XL, (maybe it was a 5) and asked for a quote....... once again you amaze me, I still wish I had the money to get the 10XL..... one day Quote Link to comment

calvin415 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 LOL! Thanks everyone, and Bruce I don't doubt you have a nicer couch. We were going to furnish the room throwing away everything you see, but we decided to take the money and pay off a loan instead. It's an eye sore, I know, but our goal is to pay off everything including the house in the next 7-10 years so we're making some cut backs. As you can see the tank is still empty, yet another cut for now. Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) As you can see the tank is still empty I must say as far as empty tanks go, that's on par with an ADA or Elos. Love the FTS's, they actually show everything pretty well. Your FTS of your 12'er captures everything better than the FTS of my 6'. I imagine the lights have a lot to do with that. Well done, as always! edit: and I think you nailed the rock formations! Edited March 17, 2009 by fewskillz Quote Link to comment
