NeveSSL's 180g Mixed Reef

Nice, Lindsey! Is it your stock stereo that has a harddrive?

I was able to fix my Apex. I actually had a bad cable end and had to recrimp it. Doh! I had been stretching the cable a bit too much when I was installing it. :D

Buss errors come that way. Yes its in the dodge. It had a 30 that I upgraded to 40 cause I had one laying around. Its a 2½" pata drive.

Btw got my frag system up and flowing.
 
SO when is the big water day?? I'm getting super anxious to get water in my 130g so I can relate to how you feel.
 
LOL :banghead:

Yeah, pretty much. :D At least it wasn't a hardware failure. I thought I was going to have to buy a new base unit. :ooh:

Getting close, Dave! I'm hoping for this weekend, but still not 100% sure. Still have a few things to square away. :)

I just realized... 9 pages... not even wet yet... :playball: I'm not sure if that's thorough or annoying. :D

Brandon
 
Pppssshhhh.. I think I made it 9 pages on a busted up 225 that I sold just after leak test.. lol. Can't wait for you to get this thing wet bro.
 
lol... me too, man. Its been 7 years in the making. At least in my mind. I've actually never owned a tang! :crossedlips: Can't wait to have about 4 in this thing! :D

Yeah man! You can have mine when they eat me out of house and home.
 
GET IT WET! GET IT WET! GET IT WET! we are ready to see this thing full of H2O!
 
My 4 do the same. I feed about 3 cubes of frozen plus nori each night to feed my 17 fish. Tangs especially big ones eat a ton.
 
How do you keep up with feeding that much food? Do you do large food orders and have it shipped? Or do you buy locally?

Brandon
 
Locally... hahaha...Winchester....hahahahhahaha.... I get pe mysis anytime I can along a place that has it along with lrs. Petsmart sells hiraki inbthe cubes so ill pick up a few packs whenever we go to murfeeesboro or Huntsville. I feed about 3 cubes a day.
 
By local, I was actually thinking the Critter. :D

Got a lot done today!

Installed my Ghost overflow (which lives up to its name... can't even see it in some of these pics). We did have to redrill the holes, though. My holesaw was 70mm and was too small.

Used one of my 34g Brutes as a sump since my real sump has saltwater in it. Just filled it with the hose as the DC 12000 moved the water to the tank. That pump is ridiculously quiet! I love it. I didn't think it was on when I first turned it on.

Fully up and running!

Tomorrow I'm going to do the final plumbing I believe. Also would like to tidy up the electrical and do a general clean up. I do have a bulkhead that's leaking that I've got to take a look at also. I think I may have overtightened it. Shouldn't be a huge deal.

For now, I'm exhausted... off to bed!
