steveoutlaw December 10, 2012 Share December 10, 2012 No. I will offer you the same. It will fit easily between the 2 MH's that you have. I'll bet you will switch back in due time. NEVER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der ABT December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 please tell me that a titanium heater?? or is there a reason for glass? had too many glass ones fail on me. oo and whats in the white boxes (apex or something?) i hope you sent him to my house next (with the rest of your order) Word of advice on the alk check......if you have any old salifert test kits, use their pink tips for the syringe vs the ones provided in the hannah kit, they work SOO much better.

STEVE December 11, 2012 Author Share December 11, 2012 They are NOT titanium heaters. That is APEX stuff, 1 setup for me and 1 for Yauger. The alk checker is his too along with 1 box of salt. The Hanna checker I have has the pink tip, but 1 ml is 1ml....?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der ABT December 11, 2012 Share December 11, 2012 has nothing to do with the 1ml, i jsut found the clear ones that came with my alk check reagent dont actually hold vaccum/seat well on the syringe so 1ml is always less than 1ml.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE December 13, 2012 Author Share December 13, 2012 Went down to my friends shop and had him cut me out some material so I could start making a small cabinet to house my 3 EB8's and controller. Here is the finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE December 13, 2012 Author Share December 13, 2012 After filling the tank and checking the level, I had to drain most of the water out so I could shim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE December 13, 2012 Author Share December 13, 2012 I almost forgot.....You become very familier with this place doing a tank build ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE December 13, 2012 Author Share December 13, 2012 After 4 hours, I finally got the tank within 1/16 of level side to side and about the same front to back....Thats close enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 I like the cabinet for the power bars, smart idea. I will be much safer and look a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodreeef December 15, 2012 Share December 15, 2012 Steve, I am so jealous man, this exact same tank is on my future build list. 10 yrs ago I was telling you I Had the 180 and i was also worried about chilling it with the metal halides ,I was running at that time, but it turned out later(after I think $400.00) that i did not need the chiller, it was a waste of money. When i do it again , i am going to wait till i need a chiller before buying one, but plan for it with my plumbing,space ,electric ,etc. eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE December 15, 2012 Author Share December 15, 2012 I am near the end of my plumbing layout on my new build and in need of a couple of fittings in schedule 80 1" dia. fittings.... 2 or 3 -45 degree fittings 4 or 5 -90 degree fittings I know I can order them, but I am working on it this weekend and was hoping to finish.....any help would be so awsome! Thanks in advance, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE December 28, 2012 Author Share December 28, 2012 (edited) Been pretty busy with the build. Here are a couple of the projects. Went and picked up some 1x1 angle aluminum to build a light rack out of..... Here it is built....I riveted it together. Its very sturdy. This photo is before I painted it black with hight temp paint. I finally started to add RO/DI water to the tank.....very slow process when your making 300 gallons. Here is a shot of the bare Eco Rock from BRS. 250 lbs Here is the lighting equipment....from Premium Aquatics. 3-400 watt MH's and ballasts Edited December 28, 2012 by STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
