My first aquariums - 404 display/150 frag

b09u5 · #1 06-07-2013, 03:51 AM

OH! And the bigger, better news is that I am looking at ordering up a starfire front for the 404g. Because of the size that the 19mm Starfire comes in, if I replace the 8'x27" front piece, I should have enough Starfire left over to pair it with the original front panel 8'x27" (as a base) and make an 8'x27"x11" frag tank! All out of 19mm Starfire.

I still have a lot of work to watch the plumber and HVAC guy do before I can move on with vapor barrier, drywall, paint, etc. But once that is done, the building can finally begin!

You haven't even got to the expensive stuff yet.

Good that your doing everything to code. I probably wouldn't, haha.

Sorry to hear of all the problems. Did the guy you bought the setup from do this stuff to code or did he take the cheap man's way out?

^^ LOL

I'm not a fan of 'code'. It's just silly. Especially when you're talking about HVAC. Electrical.... yes, totally understandable. But HVAC???? c'maaaan

Normally I would hesitate to contradict someone who sold me the low cost and beautiful MH light that he did ... but ... HVAC to code prevents sucking CO back down a hot water, dryer or furnace pipe and into the house and the various colourful but bad side effects that follow ... I did that just once and gained a whole new respect for code.

Not certain about him and code.... but I do know that he has a habit of making things look easy. I get that impression mainly because I am a crappy friend and don't help out in the builds, but also from the fact that he works like an animal and accomplishes a months worth of work in 5 straight all-nighters!
