Yup, I'm sure I've missed lots on the Ol' Canreef lately what with my H1N5.4v2.3, combined with the rest of the chicken/pig/airplane modified stuff. Honestly, I've had the flu over the years, but this is the worst ever since I was a kid
So I didn't think you'd tested as I don't see your plumbing completed yet

Brad gets away with all kinds of things and his tank forgives him ... kinda like a push ... so he can rib the rest of us on and watch our mistakes
Oh wait, that's not true lately. NM

That's the old Brad. The new Brad kills everything and makes a mess. Trying to get old Brad back

So I broke down (I blame Brad and Greg) and went to J&L for the last few items. Installed the Apex PM2, and all the final plumbing bits.
Just waiting on J&L in regards to bringing in some substrate and Best Buy to deliver the WiFi module.
Obviously those last two items are not needed to start the RO/DI, however the rockwork is.
The centre brace is in the way of dropping the completed structure into the tank, so it needs to be built 'in tank'. I'd rather not do that underwater.
Hung one of the Kessils just to see what it looked like.
Dirty dirty glass.

Clean looking setup. Will be tagging along as I am still working on my 65 gallon tall. I am also running two 360.

Started this thread at 12 and now it's 1:30, have to be up for work at 7 but what the heck.
Very nice build Warren, the sump area is one of the nicest I have ever seen, most people I have met can give a rats a$$ what their sump area looks like or even knows that they have a sump until they have to empty out the skimmer cup but you make it look like a work of art, amazing! I also admire your level of patients. I know I couldn't wait that long to see water in the tank. My recent build took matter of days before it was turn key and fired up. Lol guess brad and I have the same problem. I do however keep a fairly tidy sump area since I am a big fan of sump area and individual filtration systems, everyone is different on their hobbandary and every time I visit other reefers I always look at the health of the tank and immediately follow by "can I check out your sump" lol

Anyways, great job on the tank and now LETS SEE SOME DAMN WATER!

My first attempt at the dosing lines were getting in the way of removing the skimmer cup, and looked funny IMO.



...so they just needed to be slightly altered. I'll do the same for the dosing containers.



End of day today.
