beebes Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 BRS shipped my order in 3 packages.... Perhaps I ordered too much stuff... Don't worry, I'm up to around 5 boxes in black Friday from BRS now. And that's without the rock I'm still waiting to go on sale. So you're totally cool to order more. Link to comment

So you're totally cool to order more. Too late, I snagged a micro ATO. So I guess that'll make my 4th box. Paid for most of that in BRS points too. The first 3 weighed 50 something lbs according to the tracking information. I didn't buy any rock. Hopefully they will put up trigger systems sumps on discount and I can snag one of those. Was hoping to source that locally through alternate channels but not having much luck with that. Link to comment

I was hoping the same thing, but finally gave in and ordered it regardless. Which one are you looking at? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hopefully they will put up trigger systems sumps on discount and I can snag one of those. They were 10% off from 11/14 to midnight last night, I believe. The ATO reservoirs are still on sale at BRS though. If it doesn't come through, I have my old Ruby 30 if you want one for cheaper Link to comment

Which one are you looking at? I was looking at the 26 sapphire or emerald. They are the same thing other than color as far as I can tell. It's the biggest that will fit into my stand the way it is designed. Link to comment

tailes Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Saving a bunch with BRS's sale is going to cost me a lot of money.... And I still haven't gotten those kickass boots I want. :Grumble:grumble: So much awesome shopping Or these Kat? Link to comment
Mariaface Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The first pair. I'm not Kat, but still. Link to comment
tailes Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The first pair. I'm not Kat, but still. Those were the ones I fell in love with first. They're almost twice as expensive as the second pair. Link to comment

Veng Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Well with the light done on the 20L, I'm slowly turning my attention back to the stand on the new tank. I've got tons of stuff showing up next week for this thing, so I need to get this thing moving! Made a little progress on it today, but realized I'll need some more lumber so I guess I'll have to wait till Friday to pick that up. Buying lumber in the middle of black Friday should be fun! I still need to select a return pump, it's about the only thing left to pick out. Never done much research on these so really don't know where to go. Head pressure will be about 5' so I know I'm going to need something much beefier than the el cheapo pumps I've been using on the 20L. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Getting some recommendation on a Jebao DC-6000. Any thoughts? Link to comment
Veng Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Getting some recommendation on a Jebao DC-6000. Any thoughts?[/quotei have one if you want it. Used it for about a year, then it's sat for a year and a half or so. It is the original DC version, though, not the newer DCT, DCS, or DCP. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 PM me with a price. Link to comment
beebes Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 get that trigger sump! can't believe I bought mine earlier and missed out on $80 in savings Link to comment
Veng Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 get that trigger sump! can't believe I bought mine earlier and missed out on $80 in savings Yeah about to pull the trigger. (Yes, that's a terrible dad pun...) Link to comment
Veng Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Seems I need the 34 not the 26 if I'm going to do an animalbean overflow... Luckily it seems that will just barely fit into the stand, so I guess I'll change to that. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 BRS was out of the Sapphire 34, so I got an emerald 34 instead. All in all a great deal. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Stand is beginning to take shape. Got most of the sides on. Need to get the doors/front made then cut the top and bottom panels and I'll be ready to start painting the inside. I'm going to go with some of the smooth deck over paint in grey as I figure that should last better than anything when it comes to the saltwater. Note: the clamps were just there before I finish nailed it in place, they aren't the only thing holding it on. Link to comment
Veng Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think I am going to try to go buy the tank for this stand tomorrow so I can plan plumbing before bf sales end. Link to comment
beebes Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Oh wow, that looks awesome. What shape will the tank be? Definitely a good idea to get that cheep plumbing from brs if you can, the fancy valves are super pricey and really add up. UPS delivered mine yesterday though, and they're definitely much nicer.
