Welcome to Fraggle Rock...

That looks like some dirty work. Keep scrubbing looking good. Are you running the pumps in the the vinegar?

How long should I run them in the vinegar water? So far the heater is clean as is the protein skimmer...

 

[sfin52]

Just long enough for stuff to wipe off fairly easily

 

[newmonium]

Front of the tank came pretty clean. Rear chamber still rough. At least it is all loose. Shop vac tomorrow. Need it cleaner for this build. On a side note,where should I put my heater in this build?

It's getting there. That's the hard part about snew tanks.

Finding it at least taught me some patience. I've passion some decent deals and got blessed with this whopper.

Thanks man. If I can get this Apex sold, I'll be hitting you up for one of those hydra 26 hd!

Happy to sell, your tank is going to be awesome!

 

[newmonium]

So here's the plan... I want to trade my Apex Classic with PM1 module and lunar module. I am trying to trade for one hydra 26hd with any mount. I suppose I could sell it but I'd prefer a straight trade. Either way, I'm too new at r2r and it won't let me post in selling or trading groups. If anyone hears of something, let me know! More build to come tomorrow!

Update time! Before the Steelers beat the Patriots, I decided to vaccum the sump area. Came out far better than expected. Filling her up and running the pumps to clear out the debris on the old Gyre and supplies.

 

[sfin52]

You want to put up your tank on that assumption?

 

[newmonium]

Bahahahaha. Negative. Especially now that Brown is hurt.

I’m routing for Lewis fatasry fb.

What a steal indeed! AB was going to secure my place into my fam’s fantasy championship game. I’m on my toes now

 

[sfin52]

Ab going to hospital that’s no good

 

[Fishboy&crazycatfishlady]

Nice pick up! And what a heck of a game!

 

[newmonium]

This Gyre is amazing... Ready for my rock... Not too shabby for a framework hours work. Everything soaked and scrubbed, some with toothbrushes. This is gonna be fun!

I had two heaters in mine. I put one in each of the overflows.

Thanks... I have a 200 watt Hydor. Thinking of left overflow and ghost skimmer in right...

 

[sfin52]

Sorry about your Steelers. Right call bad rule. The Megatron rule and it stinks.

 

[newmonium]

Solving the lack of filtration on these jbj media baskets. Is it OK the combine with a rubber band?

 

[newmonium]

Tank set up in living room. Reset Apex to factory settings and after toying with it got lights! Waiting on my reef cleaner rock!
As a side note-the TV is only this close as the Christmas tree is taking up the other side of the room...
