No more progress so far. I'm trying to set this up between work and the gentleman who agreed to help me. Will keep you posted as soon as something changes. Chomping at the bit!

Congrats on becoming a reefer Girly!

Sucks to get only so far when it comes to us Girly's and plumbing.
Hopefully you will get it up and running soon.

Nice to see someone who totally understands where I'm coming from We're very lucky to have some great local reefers tho, who've taken the time to give me some advice and helped with it all.

Default Let's geteeeer done!

Thanks to one of the many amazing forum members, the plumbing is now finished on the tank and is ready to accept water! I was having some troubles with the RO unit over the weekend and thought I would have to call someone in again, but ended up being able to get it working. I left it on, scared the crap out of myself this morning after forgetting I had it left turned on over night and voila!

Sorry for the quality of the photo. It was taken seconds after I got out of bed from my cell. Better photos to come later.


I have someone going in later this afternoon to turn it on again for me, so that by the time I get home it should be 1/2-3/4 full. Hoping to have enough in there by tomorrow morning to add the salt, start up the power heads, get the skimmer going(still need to figure out how to make it work) and start adding live rock!
