Cleaned the skimmer and several pumps and other things today after a good vinegar soak today. The tank, the sump and lots of plumbing are next.

Well it's about time!

I know right! Seriously though my goal is to have it up and running by the MTRC swap in April so I have a little time

It felt good to get started though.

fishdoc11 · Nov 22, 2015

Still working on this

Got this bad boy all cleaned up

Pile o stuff with calcium deposits removed

roadrashpaul · Nov 22, 2015

Very nice! Excited for this one.

fishdoc11 · Nov 22, 2015

Thanks! Not sure why it wouldn't let me remove the last redundant pic. Gotta get the overflow cleaned on the tank, which I'm working on with vinegar now. I smell like I've been pickling stuff all weekend

Nice pile o parts there man. Coming along nicely.

fishdoc11 · Nov 26, 2015

Tank cleaned up pretty well. A couple of scratches but nothing terrible. Getting coraline off of a textured overflow isn't fun but I got most of it. Next up is painting the back then building a new stand.

Looking good doc. Cleaning a dirty tank is a pain and the overflows are the worst.

Reefrookie220 · Nov 27, 2015

Gonna sell the jbj after the transfer? Been looking for one of those. Good luck with the set up. Coming along!

Yes I plan on selling the JBJ and stand. Not sure about the light.

Thanks man! I'm actually thinking about taking the overflow out and putting a Synergy one on now but I think that's just the insanity of a tank build talking to me.

gmoney243 · Nov 27, 2015

Rofl right! But i have been thinking of doing the same down the road when i get rdy gor a big dt. Low profile overflows look so nice

gmoney243 · Nov 27, 2015

Or external overflow. Would like more space in the DT

Probably still going to be 2 or 3 months but if you are still interested then we'll talk

fishdoc11 · Dec 5, 2015

Got the back painted today.

Rob.D · Dec 7, 2015

Very nice Chris.

Synergy overflows are awesome, highly recommended, especially on smaller tanks to open things up more.

Yeah I'm going to go with one on my next tank and I will just start with a non RR. This one is already too far along to go back. I have to call it somewhere for budget and time
