NEW Tank Build !!!
I am pleased to announce the new tank build can now finally start. Thanks to Dave at Concepts for the amazing tank and stand, both are the best quality I have ever seen! The tank having a one piece Euro Brace and 100% star fire with unique total clear silicon.
The tank is 36x32x24 with external overflow. The sump will be in the basement about 8 feet below the tank.
The system will run everything we distribute one way or another but also form the basis for all future marketing photos for GHL equipment, for example the Mitras. The tank will run just one single silver Mitras HV.
Here are some photos I took at 1.45am this morning after getting off a plane back from Turks and Caicos getting in the door at 1.30am!! Something was bugging me! Did I measure our door gap right? will the stand fit? 30 minutes in the garage with a jenny bar and a tape measure confirmed my thoughts. Yep I measure wrong the stand wont fit, so it has to go through the patio doors, so now I have to snow blow the side of the house and around the swimming pool and get some lads over to get the stand through the rear patio doors. But before that the stand is off to a local cabinet makers to have a little mod done to it I did not get done during manufacture.
This will be a painstaking slow build, so next update will be a while

sorry been so busy, I will take some photos this week.
Only just put two small sticks into the tank and slowly changing from brown to blue/white will try and capture that.
The small experiment frag I put in has gone baby blue deep in the tank really shows the power of the Mitras!

I have also been experimenting with Tropic marin Bio Actif (the stuff in the reef salt) you add two doses a week, its basically a carbon source. I have mixed this with prodibio Bio digest.
Good results thus far

The end is nigh!
We are moving in 8 weeks to our new place backing onto the Golf course in Manotick. Sadly due to the renos involved the tank cant come. So we are saying goodbye to this build this week.
fear not a new one will start in the fall! BIGGER, even more bling!
