Guest January 26, 2020 Share January 26, 2020 I'm so sorry to hear about all of the trouble with the overflow! I can only imagine how frustrating that was/is to deal with. Hopefully it gets resolved soon and you can move forward. I had similar issues with my plumbing. The tiniest little droplets of water.... I did layers of glue on the outside around the seams. On one, I used gorilla tape wrapped around the edge as well, and then a layer of glue over that. I haven't had an issue in five months. Now I do have a leak detector under there because I'm paranoid. But I haven't had any issues. Still loving this build! I can't wait to see it in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of it is kind of a mess right now; I'm selective with my photos Hopefully I can get the big tank wet soon, and then have a WAMAS meetup. I'm not sure if we do that sort of thing, but I'd love to show off the setup to the group to brainstorm ideas on how to make it better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami January 28, 2020 Share January 28, 2020 A meet up would be cool. I'm sure that many of us would love to see the finished work and talk shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpeguero February 2, 2020 Share February 2, 2020 Hope you get everything sorted out soon. Sorry to hear of the losses in the interim. Fish room is looking great! Hope mine eventually looks that good! My custom 260 should be delivered end of next month. I'm planning for getting it put in place, so since you recently did this with a bigger tank, I have a few questions: -How much did your tank weight? -How many people did it take to get it into place? To get my tank into the house, I have to go around back and up a few stairs onto the deck to get to the back door. I'm debating renting a bunch of equipment to help those of us who will be doing the lift, or just hiring someone to do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tank weighed right around 1000 pounds if I remember correctly -- maybe 1100. Definitely not something you would be moving without a crew. 8 of us with large suction cups were struggling, but we were able to move it around. 10 would have been safe, 11-12 would have been comfortable. You need suction cups. Reread that last sentence a few times. If you can find 8 other guys, rent suction cups from the club and call it a day.

Blue Tang Clan April 24, 2020 Author Share April 24, 2020 Hey! I have been slowly plumbing everything, and just got my second return line finished. It has a big 120W UV sterilizer on it so that will be one of my disease and algae prevention methods. I'll try to snap some pics later. It seems ever so trendy to post "control board" photos with lots of Neptune gear -- which seems silly since those things never really move. I'd love to see Medication / Fragging / Testing stations more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Tang Clan December 29, 2020 Author Share December 29, 2020 (edited) COVID and a new baby have slowed down progress, but things are still progressing. I've had water in the tank since March and things are finally stable. Some of my woes were just from new tank syndrome and getting a massive amount of bacterial filtration instituted. As we always say, nothing good ever happens quickly in reef tanks. My goal for 2021 is to take a more active approach to updates, so I made a quick Fish Lab video with some full tank shots as well. It's still has a ways to go, and my 4-month old takes all my time when I'm not at work! Here is a quick video of the behind the scenes: Edited December 29, 2020 by Blue Tang Clan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
