Getting there nice work...

Thanx

Little set back. I'm gonna scratch the two 65's mixing station. I got the mag 9.5 and when i went to hook it up it was just to tight in there. It was just to complicated with all the elbows and valves, and being right next to the 75 sump. So i'm gonna be selling the mixing station and hook up two 20 gallon brutes, but not till after the DT is hooked up.

Probably gonna be able to water test for leaks by tomorrow. :lol_large I just have finish the plumbing up to the water change tank, and run it to the slop sink. And build a manifold. Then tackle the electric.

Water Test Passed

:thrash: Did a water test today on the main plumbing (DT and the fuge/mantis tank). It passed wot wot. I'm not gonna lie i'm alittle surprised myself. Not even a drip from all those 45's and 90's. I still have to plumb the manifold and the water change tank in. The main lines are in with valves on them so it won't be a big deal. At least now i can fill it and let it cycle while i get the little stuff done.

Put the rock in and the lights on a couple days ago. No amonia but the nitrates & nitrites are high.
Rock work isn't final yet and i have to find some nice ones for the fuge/mantis tank



Blue lights on both tanks

sick bro.. i deff have a couple of frags for you

 

[SIReefer]

Nice looking build. What is holding up the water change/frag tank, just the metal brackets or is there other support?

 

[nuch]

Just 3 steal brakets. It's good though, I had a 30 glass with a 4" dsb there with my other setup. There held up with bolts and screws. I also put extra suppport from the 2x4 to the header.
