Major update and photo dump! Its been a while since I've posted but things have been moving along.
Got a new sump from Concepts. Thanks to Kay for receiving it at King Ed. Decided to go back to socks because I find they are just easier to clean. Plus the motor failed on the fleece roller I was using.  Power has gone out in Maple Ridge a lot more times than it did in PoCo, and I lost some livestock, so never again. Picked up a genny from Dave H.  Did some more plumbing on the w/c station, although its not complete yet.  Added a couple shelves and some decoration to the fishroom.  Started the plumbing on the UV. Wanted a bypass for ease of maintenence, and a drain.  ...and mounted it to the wall. Screwed up one pipe cut and it's a little crooked. My OCD is making my eye twitch.  Started the drawings for the new electrical cabinet...  ...and began to build the boxes.  Upper and lower box.  Time for paint.  Install lower box, then upper box.   Plan out the door, drill, and paint.   Install and begin to populate.   Added a 6 plug outlet on an extension cord fed from the furnace room. Its on a dedicated circuit and can easily be unplugged and run from the genny when needed.  Recent full tank shot. Parameters are stable and colour is good, although this isn't the best picture. Still plenty of work to do within the tank, but I am wanting to get the hardware upgrades done first. Hoping the new sump and plumbing can get done this coming weekend. Then all the electronics can be moved into the new cabinet. Thanks for looking.  Last edited by WarDog; 10-15-2023 at 01:11 AM.

Wow Buddy Nice Work !!! Some great thinking/planning "inside" the box going on here. I really like the cabinet boxes
I agree with your move back to socks. Did you go with 7" ?

Thanks dude. I definitely love the building and hardware part. They're just 4 inch socks.

The Myth, the Legend, the GOAT, BBlinks came over to help plumb the new sump. Added a new Fluval SP4 for the return.
 Got the new sump done in a couple of hours. I can't stress enough how helpful the Canreef community is on the west coast.  Doser, containers and ATO will all be moved in the future. Added a 1" flow sensor to the return just because. Still need to bring the UV online.  Began stacking rejuvenated Siporax that was pulled from the old tank 2 years ago.  Added the Borg Cube to the sump, on top of the existing Siporax.   Started to get some RTN on the Loom, cut it off hoping to halt the decay. It worked for a few days but it continues to erode. Started to scratch my head and figured a bit of testing was in order. Phosphates through the roof. Figure the rejuvenated Siporax was still holding PO4 within, even after boiling, acid and bleach baths. TEST, TEST, TEST... and always make small changes! Doing a w/c today, and more testing later tonight. I've got Phos Down ready to go if needed. Ordered a bio pellet reactor from BRS. Thanks for looking.
