Well...things were going well tonight. I got the return sump in and situated. Return pumps in.




Aaaaaaand then as usual.....my luck/stupidity got the best of the evening...

First off...I cant wiggle my 10 gallon ATO tank in beside the bottom sump. No matter how many times I tried. It fits on paper...but getting it in after the sump is in there is impossible....so now I have to dump more money into a custom slim ATO tank. Yay! OH YEAH...and I forgot to mention that I broke the 10G tank while doing this...

But wait! It gets better! While moving the return sump back into position after attempting to stuff the ATO tank in, I elbowed the return drain from the fuge....and broke that tank too!!! Wwweeeeeeeeee!!





So needless to say, after cracking two tanks im calling it an evening. This one will go in the books...especially my pocketbook! Which already hates me.

Thanks Denny! I'll check it out when I pick up the acrylic overflow covers I ordered. I will also have to order a new fuge tank lol.

Hung the frag tank light last night - Hamilton 2 X 250W MH + 2 X 54W T5's. Just received my two brand new radium bulbs (not installed yet). Everything fit together nicely. I have lots of room to raise and lower the fixture, and the ballast fit perfectly under the fuge tanks on the floor.



And this is kinda gross.... When I tested my water change system, I just used tap water. I let the last remaining bit dry out/evaporate. Well here is what is in our Calgary tap water... This is the collection after razorblading the brand new tank bottom last night.



And thanks to Denny @ Concept, here is my new 10 Gallon ATO container. Instead of having the ATO tank to the right of the sump, it now resides behind the sump, leaving a perfect amount of room beside the sump for the CO2 tank for my calcium reactor. I was getting worried about where to put it, so things just worked out! It's a good thing that the ATO didn't fit/got broken.



ATO tank is now fully plumbed into the water change system's RO/DI tank for quick fills.

Next thing to do, is get a new 50 gallon fuge built after smashing the old one... and then I can do a final water test!
