[kwandrsn]

Ok after being away from the hobby for a while I am finally setting up a new tank. Ive been trying to get this together for about 6 or 7 months now and I just havent had the time to set it up but im tired of seeing this thing sit here empty. This is what I got:

57 gallon rimless oceanic illuminata

Deep Blue Pro Series II black/carbon stand

20 gallon long sump with homemade baffles

Homemade algae scrubber and lights

2 - blueline phantom 150watt dimmable 5 color led fixtures with remotes. Hung with homemade hanging kit made from stainless steel allthread and stainless hardware

Seaclone 100 skimmer (better than nothing)

Lifeguard aquatics quiet one 3000 return pump (planning on replacing it soon with a Jebao DC6000)

Cpr aquatics sock-it 4" sock holder

Aqua Medic KS1000 kalk stirrer

2 - jebao wp25s (also have the TC-4A dual controller but not using it)

Android bluetooth programmable jbwave controller

Reefkeeper Elite with 3 - PC4s, SL1, SL2, MLC with 2 white moonlights, 2 - digital aquatics float switch brackets and 3 float switches for ato setup, ph and temp probes

Aqualifter (ato)

Jager 300watt heater

BRS diy screen kit

35 lbs carib sea fiji pink sand

20 lbs carib sea bahama oolite sand

80 lbs dry rock

I thinks thats all... may have forgot something

Also illuminata confirmed

 

[schooleyosis]

Sweet! When will it get salty?

 

[kschweer]

Looking good! Funny my name is Kevin as well and I have a 57 illuminata too. Best of luck with it, it's a great tank.

 

[kwandrsn]

Ryan, this weekend as long as I dont have to work

 

[kwandrsn]

Kschweer that is funny, what are the odds

Following along. I hope to upgrade the 40 to one of these at some point. Love the rock work and look of the rimless!

 

[kwandrsn]

Yeah the rock work isnt set in stone.... yeah I just went there... but yeah im not 100% sure im leaving rock like that. Wont know till I start filling it

 

[kwandrsn]

Well my order from brs is lost... tracking and ups customer service says it was left at the front door... I was home all day and ups never came down my road

 

[kwandrsn]

Brs is apparently closed till monday and ups is saying it can take 7-14 days for the investigation. I dont have the extra money laying around to place another order and the stuff I ordered cant be bought at a lfs. This has left me thinking i need to pull the plug on this project

 

[bknapp]

What are you lacking?

 

[kwandrsn]

Rodi booster cause I only have like 35 psi and itll take days to fill like this. And a few other things

Man that stinks, epic fail by UPS.

 

[bknapp]

I know it's a drive but I'm willing to give you some water, I can start making it tonight if you want to bring buckets to transfer it into.

 

[kwandrsn]

I appreciate it but I gotta work in clarksville tomorrow. Tonight was the main night. Thought I was gonna have some time off but they want me to work sat. Sunday and all next week

 

[bknapp]

Guess that's good in a way.

 

[kwandrsn]

Lol yeah... but tank wont get filled

 

[NeveSSL]

Let it run while you're working. Took mine 4 days straight of RO/DI to fill up!!!
