Thanks for dropping in Paul.

Tanks are still up and running. Occasionally loss a thing or two, but I came to accept the fact that nothing I can do about it. Overall, everything is ok in my book. I’ll get a video or pictures once I get a chance as personal life has been hectic.

My system is now officially over 500 gallons in total volume! :happy: 

 

Bought this  60G cube a few years ago and finally got to put it into use.

Decided to put it behind the anemone tank and utilize for frags/grow out as well as house my female tomato clownfish. Planned on putting the male fire clownfish in once able to catch it.

Thanks! 

Nah, the Mrs.has been pushing me to clean up the basement :laugh:

I was doing hand paint the basement ceiling since last summer since I was afraid of getting paints onto my system. I gave up after 2 weeks as it was getting no where.Those bare compressed plywood is not easy to paint along with nails/staples from the upstairs hardwood flooring making it impossible paint with a roller. Finally got around and seal off the tank area and bought a quality spray gun and finished spaying it in two days.  

 

As for the pond, restart the water fall 2 weeks ago, but then got issue with my well's water. Keep losing water pressure in the house and could't get my plumber to come out as he was sick. and then one day, it's totally stopped. NO WATER!!! man that was rough!!!

Well's pump died. plumber still out sick. Found a local well's company to come out to replace new pump. Still have that worry in the back of my mind about the water situation, hopefully it will go away as things moving along. Will need to reinstall the pond's UV and filter and top-off when the weather warms up a bit later this week.

We will all have to go trident!

Lol! Had to look that up. I am way behind with tech. Getting to the age where I am no longer interested or care to follow new technologies.

A little more progress with around the fish room. Decided and "approved" to go with "aqua"color for the walls :biggrin:

Added a second exhaust fan in the fish room and the humidity is maintained around 50% :clap:

Tank room/area is looking good! You're inspiring me to move a little quicker on my end!

Thanks! some motivations and LOTS AND LOTS of nagging will make things move a bit quicker :tongue:

 

Almost 6 years and finally a cleaned basement. Hopefully we'll able to keep it neat and clean. :wig:
