Mike...you KNOW, that I was kidding... I don't use bleach or ammonia anywhere NEAR my tanks!

dude...you were kidding?!?!!? crap i thought that was the secret of keeping a big tank. i broke my tank down and doused everything with ammonia and then cleaned the tank with bleach.....
ummmmm you think that'll be ok?

electrician was over yesterday...will install separate circuit breaker box in sump room, with four 20A circuits, plus 2 add'l 20A circuits that will run off generator (for main pump, and heaters). This should make the system a lot easier to maintain. Having everything in the basement, MAY eliminate the need for the chiller, although I will have it plumbed in for now, JUST IN CASE!...and will end up being more energy efficient than what I've been running for the past few years. However, I think that I will need a larger dehumidifier, probably vented up 2 stories thru the attic.

Alfie look into this it worked wonders for me.. dropped my humidity 15-20% and draws way less electricity(than a similiar sized humidifier) and brings in fresh air as well http://www.suncourt.com/Airiva.html I found that with an a/c going in the Summer and this my humidity levels where in the low to mid 40's and in the winter obviously is a non issue. If you do go for this get one size up from the recomended size.

Thanks Thane, that may be exactly, what I need! Gonna read-up on it tonight. I already have a vent in the ceiling, and a wall-chase thru a closet to the attic, so it would be an easy install. Did you buy it local?

I have a beach house in Sea Isle City, just south of there, ex.17 on GSP[/I]

I use to go there every year to escape from the jersey shore crowd. But the philly crowd is just as bad.

Can't wait to see this tank running.

 

[JSweeney76]

Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

NO Comment...But, I will say, NEVER rent a beach house to Philly cops!...local police were there EVERY nite! (not for fun)

Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

COMING SOON, watch for our GRAND OPENING!....thanks for looking!

yeah alfie....where's the update. i've been waiting for the weekly report....lol.

SORRY DOC, here it is...worked on closed loop plumbing, 2 returns thru eductors, and 2 thru spray bars (above sand bed, below 'elevated' rockwork)

Put 'fish guards' on overflows...:shhh: should have pics soon, of 'TOP SECRET' built in/hidden/telescopic frag racks

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

Looking good!!

 

[kaOzGrUnT]

this thing is a monster, I think I'm more excited than he is. lol

 

[tomtoothdoc]

nice plumbing works....are they all glued together already? very clean...no purple primer over runs.

 

[anthony27]

Monster build

ALRIGHT, you caught me!, pics were taken before glue, didn't want to use camera, after gluing!

Anyway...just made these disappearing/adjustable frag racks, which is under each (have 2) 24" corner overflow...each rack can hold 20-30 frags (fully extended), but my original idea, was to get certain frags to grow onto the overflow box. BTW, does anyone else see the 'ghost' of a red wrasse, next to the eductor in pic #4? Remember, this tank IS EMPTY!!!!!!!!!

 

[scarf_ace1981]

aren't you concerned about the elbows in the overflow being to close to the bottom??

 

[tomtoothdoc]

good eye scaref_ace.....might restrict flow rate???

are you planning to paint the pvc black so it'll be camouflaged?

 

[polywise]

Albano,
If you can, swap out the clear in tank "T"'s that your strainers are connected to. Alge will grow within.

If you can't, you might want to paint them black before you put water in the tank.
