Progress!!!! but it comes just intime for me to have to go back up north for work...however Im going to be leaving it on a good note!!

I now have water in the tank and i get to go back to work and essentially skip the whole cycling process that kills everyone haha no one likes sitting around and waiting as things slowly get going so i guess you could call that a silver lining but here we got with the pictures

I got the enclosure for the electronics all done and its extremely tight inside the sump cabinet, if you thought it was tight before this is what it looks like now!



there are still a few small details i have to get sorted out and if you look close the reactor needs carbon and the lines connected but I cant do that till i get the parts i orders (two little fishies reactor entender kit to make the output a nice downward tube instead of just a piece of curved hose, and I need to get or make a refugium light and get it hooked up and the fans need a power cord made up but thats all stuff for when i get back, right now its running and functional



this is the power center all wrapped up and nicely sealed behind the acrylic door



and with the tray pulled out i can open the door and get to everything i need to adjust or work on and then close back up



WATER!!! as i you can see its all working and getting cycled but when i get back there are some final details i have to work out, unfortunately the plumbing handles all the increased water flow perfectly, i say unfortunately because there isn't enough back pressure in the line to feed the water fall, so im going to have to add a ball valve to the return line to increase the water pressure to get the water up to the waterfall but thats easy enough to do. Lastly i need to take the background out and get all the exposed rock covered in epoxy and sand to make it look like rock again but other then that and the light im pretty much laughing!!

So I head up to work monday morning and until im back november 11th everyone enjoy and leave some comments!! there are new parts and equipment on their way here are you read and as soon as im home this tank is going to have new updates!!

And that brings us pretty darn close to up to date!!! go and read what you haven't seen and ill keep going with I'm doing right now!!

[yellowworld]

Hey guys so ive been busy again now that im home! this time I'm doing some work on the exposed rock work

I picked up a bunch of tiny tiny pieces of balsa wood and I'm building this out of it

















this is as far as I've got but don't worry there is still a lot more of that to come

Cool build, you should get some type of plants or something on that rock like the mountain.

[Coralgurl]
