This was shot a few days, maybe a week, after being put online. This thing is a beast! Can't seem to find the embed option from YouTube, but here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPJKMDA9Bz4 The quality has degraded significantly, sorry!

I'm hoping to place our order for our water change containers today or tomorrow, I've been waiting on a price quote and I'm hoping it isn't going to be too bad. Then next weekend its multi-dump trip weekend, and after that more building; the water change system, finishing the room and getting it painted with a product like Kiltz for the walls and something for the floor, and installing the air exchange system. After that its a toss up I think; sump or tank first. I believe we will probably be building both of these ourselves. Anyone know where to get those big black rubbermaid containers? I need something to cycle LOTS of rock in, and I don't want to do it in the display tank. I'll be ready to start cycling relatively soon; probably in the next six weeks.

Water container has been ordered; just waiting on inventory to come in, it should be here anywhere between now and the second week in September.
Got a package in the mail on Friday! Thanks Ian. Now I can calibrate my ORP probe and further adjust my ozonier.

Guess who is awesome?! I am! Know why? Cause on Wednesday I got laid off, and I've already found a new job. Said new job involves lots of overtime, and overtime equates to cash. Cash buys & builds pretty giant tanks that can be passed off as end of the year gifts even if it comes before December 25th!
I exchanged my Aimiles this morning for more Rona gift certificates. It significantly helps bring down costs for us. Its great to be able to do this.

We're definitely back in business now. So only three things holding us back from placing the tank and sump order now. I want to order by the end of October, if not mid November at the very latest. The time line is a bit fuzzy because I doubt my original price quotes are still valid.
1) Need to rent a disposal bin for the last of the reno debris and to make some more room to bring the tank into the house. 2) Need to finalize the design, requote for price, and hammer down delivery dates 3) Need to wait for one more, possibly two depending on the requote, paycheques. So voila, essentially we are ready to order the tank! I am so very nervous about doing this. I keep worrying about the what ifs, mostly as they relate to my flow design and hole placement. So common paycheque I need you to buy me a pretty new tank! This is the design we'd come up with in March of this year. I still like it, but I want some commentary on it. I'll probably post this in a couple other forums for feedback. I do know that given the size the tank will be eurobraced, but will also probably have a couple front to back support strips. Also I need the stripes to effectively use our planned clear-mesh cover for the tank.  Last edited by michika; 09-30-2010 at 03:17 PM.
