Fixed the razor too... that was bothering me since I broke it filling my reefer... hahahahhaa!!!

All my lighting is complete now... gonna use the razor and 36” ati 6 bulb with sbars on the 6’ frag tank...

And this aquatic life t5/mh for the 4’ frag tank...

And the 2 ai sol blues for the quarantine tank

This is cool. Wife wouldn’t give me the spare room so I’m having to convert a 8x16 storage building into my “Frag Shack”.

Did you order one for me too???

RIGHT????

 

[JoshH]

RIGHT????

Well I'm on the verge of starting my own fish room, I figured you knew and ordered one for me in advance

Looks awesome BTW and I'm picking up ideas as you go along!

Thank you my friend... Still SO MUCH to do... I tackle one thing and there seems to be another few things that get added... Not really sure when I will get wet...

Have you decided how you are going to plumb your sumps yet?

Haven’t even gotten to that point yet... Trying to figure out how Im going to orient the frag tanks in the room... If I keep them where I have them now, then there is no room for my reefer xl 425 and xl 525 which I was really hoping to fit in the room just for convenience, but thats looking like its not gonna happen. I like the presentation factor the way it is right now. So I find myself staring in that room every hour trying to figure out how I want everything to be cause once its filled, its staying there. So thats pretty much my last big decision before I pull the trigger on the plumbing project I have...

I know the feeling. My house has more windows than walls. I had three options, hubby’s “room”, hubby’s tv wall, formal living room...I got the formal living room. It’s better than nothing[emoji12] maybe you can figure a way to squeeze one of them in?[emoji4]

So... good news!!! On Wednesday I hit 6 months clean, excited about that... feels good, but I got a new job as well... today is my last day at my current job... been here for a little over 3 years. Will be in a managing position and making more money as well. Only thing that sucks is Im gonna work swing shift from 1:30-10:00 pm for 5-6 months... It could be good though... In the meantime, I have all next week off so Im gonna try and get as much work on the room as possible... Got just a little bit of anxiety going on this week... hahaha! But hopefully things start settling in... alot of changes in the past 6 months

 

[Muttley000]

Congrats on both counts!

 

[PerplexyHexy]

I

I finally finished up painting... ohhh my lord... I didnt even get to the closet portion... Im just over it... Sucks being OCD and to paint... I had to fix every little thing that was bothering me... Jeeeez oh petes... On to hanging the lights and plumbing the tanks... yay!!!! Hahahahaha!!!

 

[Muttley000]

Wow, nice work, looks great!

 

[PerplexyHexy]

Thanks... I was really worried about the baseboards... Alot of that flooring compound got on the baseboards and I thought they were ruined... So i spent most of yesterday and today taping off all edges... turned out amazing... super sharp edges... everything looks crazy clean

Wash basin installed... super clean...

Added one line for my ro/di water for the ATO and then another line for the mixing station...

Looks great, but I have a question about these copper pipes.

Youre not filling any tanks from either of these spigots, right? This copper line is before your RODI? Do you have a RODI for your water station and one for your ATO?

I’m just a little taken aback seeing copper when pex or cpvc is a safer option, but if they are before your RODI, it’s all good
