The Money Pit

Started filling the tank last night. Ran out of water. I knew it was going to happen.... need bigger storage containers for my RODI!
Only when filling a new tank. beautiful setup BTW
I have my Ro bypassed until I get my water storage done, I go thru resin but it's fast, about a gallon a minute or more and i get about 100 gallons out of a cartridge of resin.

Thanks! I didnt know you could do that...
 
Oh man! I went with the 2016 Apex. I'm kinda wishing I would have went GHL and I haven't even had my Apex hooked up to the tank yet....

Ouch! I do like my Apex but I'm glad I picked up the P4 set during Black Friday. Can't wait to unbox it and get things set up!

just pulled the 2016 apex out of the box and I already regret purchasing this unit.... I’ve had to reset it 3 times in 10 mins. Went to calibrate the ORP probe and there is no calibration liquid in the box for it. It keeps disconnecting from my WiFi.... not impressed! I have a new in box RKL sitting here that may take itsplace and it was $90....

Ouch! And I decided to go with GHL because I have to reset my Apex once every few weeks! :eek:
 
I got the gyres in and everything seems to be doing what it should! Now the long waiting game begins....

That is looking fantastic!

Oh, and I'm catching ya! :p
With any luck my tank will have water in it tonight and fish it in tomorrow!
 
Had a busy Sunday at the cabinet shop! We built the canopy, equipment box, and a couple matching shelves for the wall!

Thank you sir! Still got a bit of work ahead of me.
 
Really digging this build. Very clean and well thought out.

Thank you! I’m trying! Some of the stuff isn’t working exactly how I wanted. Sometimes you have to expect that.... my sump and plumbing moved over 3/4” to the left where the cubby was going. I took measurements before hand... built the cubby and it was too wide. Lesson learned!
 
etup a make shift paint area in my shop yesterday. Got the first couple coats of spar varnish put on. Hopefully I will get it all sanded today and the final coat applied.
