Swimboy123 June 27, 2012 Author June 27, 2012 taking a brief rest to head to Vegas for some much needed R&R. Vinegar bath upon my return!
smallreef June 27, 2012 June 27, 2012 Have fun! Make sure to eat at the voodoo lounge at the top of the rio.. was freaking AWESOME!
Swimboy123 July 5, 2012 Author July 5, 2012 Didn't try the Voodoo lounge but Vegas in itself was pretty awesome! This weekend will start the vinegar bath and the wet test for the tank!
steveoutlaw July 5, 2012 July 5, 2012 This is sad........you're getting to your water test before me. I need to get moving! Can't wait to see your setup.
smallreef July 5, 2012 July 5, 2012 Lol steve..you are a slacker! Wait im on month 3and and still havent filled my tank up... hhrrmm im not sayin' anything else
ArtFully Acrylic (Adam B) July 6, 2012 July 6, 2012 Braden, nice to see the tank that you mentioned getting the deal on. That thing is a monster....and 475lbs?!?! jeesh. Holy hernia batman!! This is sad........you're getting to your water test before me. I need to get moving! Can't wait to see your setup. Come on Steve! The race is on! I didn't go through the blood, sweat (and wifes nagging) of building your tank for it to sit empty Lol steve..you are a slacker! Wait im on month 3and and still havent filled my tank up... hhrrmm im not sayin' anything else Well at least you will finally have your overflows so you can get it filled! Remember, they should be at your door by tomorrow
steveoutlaw July 6, 2012 July 6, 2012 Come on Steve! The race is on! I didn't go through the blood, sweat (and wifes nagging) of building your tank for it to sit empty Ok, I have daughters. Daughters don't want to get dirty. Daughters won't help cut a hole in the wall. And daughters like to whine that I'm too noisy when they are trying to play on the computer. I'm lucky I've even got the tank in the house!
ArtFully Acrylic (Adam B) July 6, 2012 July 6, 2012 Thats when earplugs and gags come in handy ....course that doesn't help with getting them to help cut the hole
Swimboy123 July 6, 2012 Author July 6, 2012 Steve: Let me know when you need help. I'm right down the road.
Swimboy123 July 9, 2012 Author July 9, 2012 Got my boy to help me start my rock cook....... well, he was kinda helping
smallreef July 9, 2012 July 9, 2012 LOL Braden,, coming along,,, and Steve obviously you dont have tomboys for daughters,,, my dad was so happy when I was growing up because I AM NOT girly/frilly when it comes to work...
Swimboy123 July 11, 2012 Author July 11, 2012 Just got a new kalk stirrer NIB for half price! Im also going to take a couple of pics of the work area so you can see what im dealing with!
Swimboy123 July 13, 2012 Author July 13, 2012 Having a bit of trouble locating the cord to my camera. Hopefully pics will follow soon!
Swimboy123 July 13, 2012 Author July 13, 2012 So, the plan that I have in mind is two have my total system in two separate rooms. The DT will be in a lounge/manroom/office type environment with the piping coming through the wall into the laundry room behind it. The laundry room has ample space for my frag tank, sump, return pump, and the various reactors and blah blah blah. I have been sequestered to one corner of the room but I will take what I can get. My loving wife is very tolerant of my hobby but there always are limits! In the picture below, you can see the frag tank in it's final place and the sump is more or less in the final location.
smallreef July 13, 2012 July 13, 2012 Looks good so far... thats an awesome BOX for the Kalk stirrer Braden... hhhrrrmmm I wonder what the actual stirrer looks like? hhrrrmmm
Swimboy123 July 13, 2012 Author July 13, 2012 Just picked up a desjardinii from Sean at F&F. Looks great in the frag tank and he will be the first into the DT once that is up and running. My plan for this weekend is to unload more boxes from moving and get my sump and kalk/calcium reactor going!!
smallreef July 14, 2012 July 14, 2012 Awesome fish,,, one of my faves! cant wait to see him! glad your getting some time to work on it....
dmatt56 July 14, 2012 July 14, 2012 Can't wait to see this wet!! Have a great Steve Carell line for that comment. In all serious, your build looks awesome! Best of luck, Matt
