Reefmaster1996 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Sump Is in good condition will post pics on the for sale threads, it's 24"x11.5"x15" Link to comment
Reefmaster1996 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Update: Well so far so good, got some work done on the 220 the last couple days, I sanded off all the visible coralline algae off the overflows, and cleaned it up a bit( just need to reseal it, clean off remaining coraline with muratic acid, and paint trims and it'll be gone). I also completely resurfaced the sump, it just needs some muratic acid to remove the coraline on the inside and it'll be ready to sell. On another note unfortunately the new part of the house were the 50 will go, won't be done until late August. I haven't done much to it for this reason. It's ready to be drilled and resealed so that I can plumb the system and buy some electronics. Slow and steady wins the race. Also all my live stock is doing great in the 20 long, and my black leopard wrasse is a little beast that loves to eat and swim. The LFS I work at got a couple more last week but none of them made it, so I guess mines a trooper. Link to comment

Reefmaster1996 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Been busy with other projects, but I will be back on track soon, ready to start ordering the pumps and plumbing soon. Link to comment
Reefmaster1996 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Got all my remaining plumbing parts from homedepot today (orderd some from brs a while back too or at least 97% of it). Bought a nice mp 10 too from austinp. Been busy with work and school starting, but I'm going to see if I can get some work done on the 220 and cube tommorrow and after school. Maybe I'll have a new fts and plumbing shot soon. Link to comment

Reefmaster1996 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Working on tank again this weekend. Pics coming soon along with the big update. Plumbing is about 40% done and the remaining 60% is easy, you'll see what I mean. I have a neat plumbing trick that will put this build on a whole new level. Stay tuned. I am soooooo sorry so far for the lack of pics but its mostly because I have had nothing worth showing so far. Link to comment

Reefmaster1996 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 It's Christmas In a sump, and the water is soon to come in the form of a water test as soon as some more goodies arrive.(this weekend) Link to comment
Reefmaster1996 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Tested the skimmer in fresh water, no bubbles off course, but the pumps is so silent, I couldn't tell it was on in a silent room with nothing else turned on. The reason why I haven't done a running water test is because I had a couple of crappy bulkheads with damaged threads and because I have to modify/cut the glass panel for my overflow, but I should be able to do that after the water test and install it this weekend. Bulkheads are on the way form bulk reef supply and will be here either tomorrow or Thursday. Pic Updates coming soon! Link to comment
