Night Howler Frag Tank Build

did you go back to the store?
Not today but have them holding a few corals for me glad i know the guys. So holding a hammer and 2 frogspawn..... probably be tues when we get out there again so at least they are willing to help. When making the trip like have a few jugs empty for rodi water they charge me .25 a gallon so cant beat that..... part of the reason i havent broke down and bought a rodi yet..... will need to for this build though.....here is some update pics

@NowGlazeIT @Projects with Sam part of the reason things have been a little slower this weekend and why i cant make the trip is i had an accident at work where i had a blower impellar blow when standing next to it the sound blew both ear drums my equilibrium is extremely poor get dizzy standing for long periods of time the medication im on drains me and makes me feel like im going to puke. Today is a rougher day ears are extremely sensitive and dizziness is bad headache is awful today making me nauseous and the not being able to hear anything in my left ear and hardly in my right makes things extremely weird and difficult....been a rough week with still weeks to fully recover and hoping for no hearing damage or loss see a specialist tomorrow and hoping for the best......

Oh man; sorry to hear that. Best wishes and prayers for you for tomorrow!
 
Well i have ran in to some issues that cannot be avoided with some medical problems that has made me have to pause on the build but did get some toys for when i do the diy big build and seal. This will help me be able to do an injection style seal for the sides which will help with the strength of the overall build i present to you the clamps of aquarium tank life lol.....going to add rubber inserts to the metal face to avoid any scratching and also give a good grip when holding the corners in place for injection. Will also help with the squareness of the tank as well...

Also have been working on a hardline reactor that can be installed and removed whenever needed. I present to you the brs transportation reactor that will be for my nano and frag tank whenever i start to see spikes in nutrients this will also allow me to use carbon and gfo when needed in the systems that i dont have a sump setup for yet. Also adds an extra stage of filtration for both tanks and can be used and transported between both.

Final product i can run them independent or together at this point. I do have plans for them to both go on the manifold of the big build. As well as a diy chaeto reactor so i can save space in the sump of the big build. Sad to say things have to take a pause at this point but it will get done at some point. Cant wait for my health to get better so i can get back after this.....
 
I wasn’t getting your build notifications for some reason. Really sorry about your accident, it sounds like agony bro, praying for you.
Thanks bro i thought you were thats why when i was talking to you earlier i was giving a little info but i appreciate it man. I will get back going again the blower impellar looks to have been almost a blessing in disguise with some of the other things they found out.....

God workin in mysterious ways
 
Just got done installing some 50 micron filter pads to the tanks should clear some things up wasnt super cloudy but was getting a light dusting throughout the day from previous pads that needed to be replaced figured i would go with some small particle pads might have to be replaced more frequent but im ok with that. Should make things crystal clear. It is what filter socks are made of and had a guarantee to clear the water within 12 hours.....we will see lol was skeptical but saw really good reviews.
 
Ya, stopped getting notifications.

You ok bro?
Gonna be a long road to recovery and having to pause on all builds which sucks medical bills are crazy man. Gonna only getting bare min for the tanks just sucks. Thats crazy a lot of people got bumped for some reason maybe r2r hates me lol.....
 
Have specialist appointments all week this upcoming week to talk about surgery or what things they are gonna be able to do very minimal hearing out of my left ear which has thrown so many things off cant hear the pumps or things on the tank hardly really trips me out sometimes
