Good to see you on the forums kien! I haven't been back long, but I haven't seen you around since returning! How's things?

I didn't take them "morning after benders" into consideration, because they don't happen anymore.

Thanks Steve. haha.. It's not to bad really, it's been there for a few weeks now and I have yet to even graze it with my arm, even in the pitch dark when I go to work. We shouldn't need any furniture coming in. We've both got everything we need really. It can actually go back a few more inches when I'm ready to fill it.


Besides getting the plumbing going on the tank, I've been working on how I'm going to have my waterchange/mixing station setup in back room. Plan right now is to have dual 15G Tanks. One with Fresh RO and another with Mixed SW for WCs. Each with a bulk head in the bottom and a ball valve attached for transferring the contents to the tank.

Progress is a bit slow with my current work load at the office ramped up this last little while. Should be able to get a few things rolling next weekend.

I actually think I will be doing a lot more viewing from the stairs Something about looking into 40" of water tickles my fancy! If anything, this will encourage me to do laundry more often!

That's because I have not been around.. I feel like a newbie again LOL. This past year has been crazy busy. Now that summer is over I think things might actually be settling down a bit. I'm hoping to dedicate more time to the hobby this fall/winter.

Couple more bits and pieces for the system... Will be picking up plumbing parts tomorrow. Hopefully have this thing plumbed by end of the weekend.




And a 2nd 150W Heater.
