Gonna take a timeout today from labor. And reflect on my past couple weeks. I finished work on march 1, So I should be off for a couple months, perfect time to mess with some fishy business.
So I decided to upgrade my biocube 29 tank to a 65 gallon rsm, I found one used, tore it down, set it up. Salt creep was appearing from the bottom corner, I wiped it down let it sit, and it was back 12 hours later. Wiped it down again, and it was still a touch moist. Decided it might have a small leak and shut it down.
Searched furiously for another tank, could not find anything, Bought a brand new rsm from the store, Set it up and and stand had some issues, Wobbly as all heck and everytime I tryed to shim, Something else would go even more out of whack. Alright screw this Rsm business. Took it back.
Finally found something I liked on the market, from wayner I picked up his tank, I really liked the dimensions as a 120 was what I was really eyeing up before settling on the rsm idea, but I was really after the 48 x 24 footprint.
Learned alot over the past couple weeks, Painted my first wall, installed my first blind, Installed my first gfci, Only to have to install a second, as the location changed, which I screwed up, so second guessed myself and ordered a electrician to do the work. Basically payed for a reciept to pass the buck if the house burns down. And troubleshooted my rodi unit, to find out that the waste restrictor was in the the fresh water intake side
Also, Found I need to chill out and take more time with things, As now the original RSM is sitting in my basement, holding water with no signs of leak, So i can only assume at this time, that the moisture i was seeing was built up water that dripped into the bottom brace from the outside, Slowly releasing its self back.
Anyways thats the short version of the past two weeks. Lost 5 pounds from all the work that has been going into this.
