Boomboy's Comeback Tank

[abcha0s]

Hi Dan

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad that your tank turned out the way that you had hoped. It was a pleasure working on the design with you.

Now - on to bigger and better things. When can we expect to see water in this tank?

lol.
dont rush me

i cant wait to get this thing wet. painting the tank back. got the lights hung up. now i just gotta finish the plumbing and it will be ready.

it wont come soon enough

[Boomboy]

does anyone know where i can get 1" bulkheads in edmonton that are slip x slip on both sides ?

[Boomboy]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU well went to go glue my unions to my gate valve and put one on backwards. well its off to home depot to try and fix this mess i made.

[Boomboy]

well after much headaches with plumbing and a minor tank leak, i was able to get this thing filled with water.



now with the rocks and salt, im glad i started this now and not in the winter cause what would i do then.

[Boomboy]

well im at the stage of waiting. down side is that i dont really have any live rock to seed with. and my rockscape probably temporary as it always is.

but here is where im at.









Also i seem to have some issues with either micro bubbles or just debris floating around, im gonna pick up a filter sock and see if that helps.

was wondering if anyone in edmonton has any live rock that has no pests that i could use and would return. and anyone with any cheato would be awesome too that they need to prune off

I recently switched to mesh socks rather than felt. I love them! They are the massive 6" ones and much easier to flip inside out than the felt. I can hand-clean these in less than 2 minutes and back in they go.

Tank looks really nice!
