New tank build is taking forever ahhhhhhh

[125reefer]

so its been like 2 weeks now since i got my 92gallon and it feels like a lifetime i have been waiting to set it up.like today i dropped off my measurements for the sumps baffles at 11am and at 4:45 i called and they wont be ready till tomorrow MANNN.i wanted to fill the tank up tomorrow and do the leak checks on the pipes.am i just being impatient,i have so many ideas my brain is aching to see them :splitspin. :lol2:

wat r u talking about, measurements..... for what? sump? your already an addict and your not even done. lol!

 

[125reefer]

ive been addicted to keeping reefs along time.this site is another addiction..yes the measurements were for the baffels.and everytime ive made a sump the dudes usually have the baffels ready in 2 hours

 

[OzoneParkGuy]

you'll be good!! patience is needed in this hobby!!! try watching and waiting for 32 pieces of acros to grow!! lol!!

 

[125reefer]

ha ha i know but the wife isnt to happy that the room the new tank is going in looks likes a hurricane hit it haha

 

[OzoneParkGuy]

lol!! your not the only one!! i have stuff EVERYWHERE!!!!!

 

[125reefer]

so 28 hours later the baffels are not ready.never ever using them for any type of glass project again.man 7 pieces of 11 3/4 wide glass none bigger then 9".and i asked them to put a rush on it.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[125reefer]

oh my goddddd.glass baffels still not ready

 

[afernandez]

i would let them do it and not have a mess in my hands that leaks... in the mean time plan out the rest

 

[125reefer]

what else can go wrong ahhhhhhhh.i leaked tested my tank and of course i have a leak in the hardest spot possible.on the drain bulk head.so i figured id let it go till tomorrow,emptied the fuge sump moved it to the side and as i walked away hit the pipe with the bulkhead and cracked the 20 gallon.man now i have to spring for a 20 gallon and funds are low.i need a pump and this leak from the bulk head is confusing me cause i tightened it down nice and tight and siliconed it.my goodness this stinks

 

[dubs]

u dont need to silicone the bulkhead if u put it on right that maybe y it was leaking (jmo) sorry it taking u this long to fill ur tank

 

[albano]

u don't need to silicone the bulkhead if u put it on right that maybe y it was leaking

+1

 

[125reefer]

i put the silicone on the nut side under the tank
