Not to bring up a negative time, but what happened when you lost everything? Glad to see you got back on the horse and got the tank running again. Looking good.

Wow, that's crazy. I've never heard of a tank crash due to a salt change. You mind if I ask what salt you switched to? You can take it to pm if you don't feel like listing it here. Very sorry to hear. As a fellow chalice collector, I would be heartbroken. Sorry to hear that man!

 

[gonewild34]

yes it is plummed into a storage room my wife hateded hearing the pump under the tank so she let me drill holes in wall so i could put the sump on the other side

 

[btkrausen]

Nice. I have my sump in the garage, with the display in the basement living area. Makes it so much easier to work on when you have open space for a sump area.

 

[gonewild34]

here is the frag tank i built to hold the chalices

 

[m and m]

Wow that frag tank looks sick i love it, may i ask what sate you live in just curious if your close or not.
