ap123 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I have to agree with MJ, if you enjoyed the build, a canopy to match would be awsome. And thanks for the good thoughts, we take a one day at a time approach. Today was a good day. Hope all is well for you. Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Given the way your stand is turning out, I really think you should build a canopy to match. It would really be the icing on the cake. Think so too. I have to agree with MJ, if you enjoyed the build, a canopy to match would be awsome. I will do the change -over first to clear some space and start on the canopy later. The new tank can start up with my old fixture for now methinks. And thanks for the good thoughts, we take a one day at a time approach. Today was a good day. Hope all is well for you. It's all we can do. Link to comment

ap123 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yippee!!!!! So exciting! Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 omgomgomg omgomgomg omgomgomg Can't wait to see the wet water in the tank! I fear an incredible sand cloud will commence. I have never worked with this sand before and it looks pretty fine. Once it does clear some and params seem in range I will return some rock to the new tank and slowly add as I think I can. I will also have my HOT magnum on there to help with the funk. I doubt the Vortech will see much use in the first week with the sand being as fine as it looks to be, but we'll see. Working on plumbing and 110v layouts now. tic-toc-tic-toc Yippee!!!!! So exciting! Iknowrite????? Link to comment

Jarome....... edit- forgot to add mah cheerleaders *sigh* RODI is ssssslllllooooowwww tonight. About 2gal per hour I mounted a 4ft power strip across the back of the stand. Has 10 outlets. This will be constant power and I will run other strips off of this. I remembered I had this available and I'm glad I did, worked out sweet. Please forgive me now for not being around much in the next few days. I am so far behind on everyones threads. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Your stand looks gorgeous Richie, can't wait to see water in your latest project! Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Your stand looks gorgeous Richie, can't wait to see water in your latest project! Thanks Shawn! Welp. 46 is broken down- kind of sad, this was my first marine tank.... The 75 is in place and..... Der's some water in dear...about 40 gal. And sand. dats it tho. Reefer is fried. Need sleepy. Out of RODI anyway. Left it running in a tub and will check on it during the night. Sorry no pichers. Just a cloud anyway. Nite-nite NR. Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 booo Ok, yur right. Slightly underestimated the quantity of sand required. Hope Tim was on his game.... It's finally wet This is how we stand right now. About 10 gallons short of being able to run the system. I have run out of RODI and my salt mix bucket is rock bottom. Time for a road trip. OG II here I come. Poor still dry sump waiting to start doing it's job. Always wanted something like this *sigh* ...the waiting. It's the hardest part. Fill bucket, fill. Link to comment

brshriver Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hey. It is wet! You won, but not by much! Only hours! I ran the ro di line to my tank and it is fillin now. I'll add salt if the leak test passes. It take a long time to make 210 gallons of ro di your tank and stand look great! It looks like our 46B first marine tanks are coming down together. Mine will run through the end of the year while this one cycles. Looking forward to more pics! Link to comment

Since I started reefing it seems like there is a tank out there every winter. 210 gal of RODI? Yup, could take some time. Link to comment

LOL - I did have a 1 year head start though and no stand to build 210 is closing in on 100 gallons in it now I think. Yours should be full? Pics? You collect the rain water for water conserrvation, right Link to comment

Needreefunds Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yippeeeee for water should"ve gotten yourself some buckets and made water for weeks LikeI did This is going to be a great tank !!!! Actually, I did. I had rubbermaid tubs all over the house. I had counted on using some from the 46 but after getting the "hospital tubs" set up and running, I didn't like the look, or smell of what was left. Looking good, should be filled by now, fire that thing up. It is. LOL - I did have a 1 year head start though and no stand to build 210 is closing in on 100 gallons in it now I think. Yours should be full? Pics? You collect the rain water for water conserrvation, right lol @ conservation Yes it's full. YAY! your tanks full of it! (water that is )get that thing cycled and dun already! Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad you like it so far. Pics up soon Link to comment
