smallreef September 22, 2013 Author September 22, 2013 Lol they make it harder as I'm sitting down working on the bottom they both try to lay in my lap! They really don't like me to have projects when I'm home,lol
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 Sooo got the tank on the stand today! Tomorrow after work I'll get the rock and some water in...got to pick up some PVC to cut and make little risers for the cerameco pieces.... <a href="http://s652.photobucket.com/user/smalltriggers/media/image-47.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu248/smalltriggers/image-47.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image-47.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s652.photobucket.com/user/smalltriggers/media/image-48.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu248/smalltriggers/image-48.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image-48.jpg"/></a>
monkiboy September 28, 2013 September 28, 2013 good for you! look at that lil pooch man, he any help? haha
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 Thanks for fixing the pictures, again, Marcos... I'm sure he's as helpful as yours were! Lol Can't wait to get the rock and sand in there tomorrow night!
lnevo September 28, 2013 September 28, 2013 My schnauzer has to get right under me every time I work on my sump... Tanks gonna look great!
AlanM September 28, 2013 September 28, 2013 Kids get under me each time. I have this orbital sander with variable speeds http://www.lowes.com/pd_117946-70-D26453K_0__?productId=1005793&Ntt=dewalt+orbital+sander&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Ddewalt%2Borbital%2Bsander&facetInfo= Which you can borrow from QR social if you want. I feel like it would for sure go in the top holes.
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 Most of that is water spots...some is the crazing...but I don't think it will be a problem once water is in it...I'll see this week...I think I'm only going to make it at 6 for the social...I work till 5 that Saturday, I believe...
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 (edited) So, I got some water made and moved the rock from my cycling tub into the tank! And it already has some life! Can't believe this snail made it through the cycling of my dry rock, I put in 3 pieces of live rock and 1/2 of the sw in the tub was water change water and the other half new...changed water about 3 times over the last few weeks... Also, go the PVC siliconed the the bottom of my cerameco pieces to act as risers so the sand doesn't cover them up...about 1.5 inches tall.... (And photobucket was cooperating this time and let me grab the IMG codes,lol gotta love programs that do what they are supposed to, sometimes!) Edited September 28, 2013 by smallreef
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 There only a few rocks and about 20 gallons of water, making more water as I speak and will get the other rock, excluding from the current tank in tomorrow when I get home from work
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 I did get the corner piece of rock ontop of another by the overflow like I wanted... <a href="http://s652.photobucket.com/user/smalltriggers/media/image-51.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu248/smalltriggers/th_image-51.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image-51.jpg" style=""></a> (And of course I jinxed myself with photobucket and it's not letting me copy the IMG code again,lol)
smallreef September 28, 2013 Author September 28, 2013 Lol, Marcos, your my photo hero! Yeah I'm making some water, and it sounds like my new DC pump will be in by the social on Saturday! Plus I'm getting a media reactor from Avast...not sure what I'm going to run in it, probably GFO... Yippeeeeeee!
AlanM September 28, 2013 September 28, 2013 Whats the plan around that overflow with the rock up against it like that? Also, how did the buffing turn out, do you know yet?
smallreef October 1, 2013 Author October 1, 2013 Buffing got out the tiny scratches,, but there's some crazing , though I don't think it will be noticeable when filled. I got 40lbs of sand in the tank over the last few days and most of the rock...getting the cerameco pieces in tonight after a beer,lol And then some more water and start the plumbing, figured out I need to go to Ferguson Plumbing down the road for some schedule 40... As the pump is 1.25 and the locline is .75 sooo..yeah... Fun!
smallreef October 3, 2013 Author October 3, 2013 So...got some rock in...rinsed the sand and put 40lbs of that in (still have another 40 lbs to go), obviously not well enough, hopefully the Tim's bacteria will help that out when I put it in on Tuesday....and then put my coarser sand from my current tank ontop... So you can't really see any of the rocks, and neither could I when I set them in there.... <a href="http://s652.photobucket.com/user/smalltriggers/media/image-52.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu248/smalltriggers/image-52.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo image-52.jpg"/></a>
smallreef October 3, 2013 Author October 3, 2013 And getting my pump this weekend! Wahoo! I'm now looking for some odd schedule 40 pieces, need to go to ferguson plumbing next week...ugh
smallreef October 3, 2013 Author October 3, 2013 Dc12000 And I'm so excited and cant wait to get it and hook it up!
Cliff Puckstable October 3, 2013 October 3, 2013 Would you happen to know the minimum flow rate for those? All the sites seem to just have the max output.
AlanM October 3, 2013 October 3, 2013 +1, I'm interested in the flow vs head height curves for that one and for the dc20000, but they're not available anywhere online that I've found.
