poolkeeper1 · Aug 3, 2013

Well today was a big surprise as i went to pick up my new tank thinking that was all i was going to get, Wrong! Thanks to Dale came home with a lot of equipment i did not expect as in, Synergy 75gal sump (Built by Rick) Variable speed 2600gph DC return pump (six speeds) Tunze Osmolater, Apex, ATO tank, all the very well done plumbing with unions and valves, Hanna checkers Phos & Alk, All test kits and additives, Salt, Food, and im sure i forgot something but you get the Idea.
Thanks again Dale:wave:
I will get some Photos up as soon as i get it all cleaned up as it was just taken down today.
I still have to have my steel stand built (Thanks Kevan) for you great design work! And order my Led fixture and Diablo DC pump Skimmer on Monday and once i get it all back together i will add water and rock and start the cycle (Let the good times roll)
Thanks to all the club guys that helped to make this happen today, You know who you are:fish: And u too Rhett....:wave:

It is now, At one point i did not think i would but things change with time. Did not know you were still wanting to get a tank, Have you got a house yet as that was the sticking point i remember?
Glad your doing well and seems everyone knew about this tank but me, Funny how things work out.
See Ya
Bill

NeveSSL · Aug 4, 2013

Haha! It is funny how things work out.

We bought a house in March with the perfect spot for a tank in the formal dining room that backs up to the garage, so I'm hoping to get around a 120 eventually with a 150g stock tank for a sump in the garage.
