What’s your next project?

[ReefJCB]

I screwed up with my plumbing during setup. My next project is definitely redoing plumbing with PVC, adding more unions and valves. I also am really interested in a controller cabinet for cord control and easier access.

I’m curious to see what others have planned.

As soon as we close on our house I have to get the new tank setup, plumbed, and transfer everything over from the tank in the old house to the new house. It's going to be a big project.

Hey crabs thanks so much for that I’m going to hit you up for that in a bit. As of now I’m running pulse 50% to 10% over 5 seconds and everything looks happy. But I was thinking of trying to set up a manual schedule where t night it goes a lot lower. If you don’t mind I’ll pm you in a little bit

So basically a slow weekend?

Acquiring and setting up an Neptune Systems Apex. It took me years to finally pull the trigger on my new LEDs and I've been talking about an Apex just about as long. Gotta make it happen!

Working on a new sump. It is going to have a better refugium area and needed better baffles and maybe even a sock holder. It is a two fold project though.

My current sump is after my island tank plumbed into the side via bulkhead. Once the new sump is done, I dismantle the old sump, disconnect it from the island tank, drill a hole or two in the floor behind the island, feed the drain line down the hole as well as the current drain line from my DT(which currently goes to the island). This will effectively remove the island from the reef system.

More than likely I'll have to dismantle some wood to switch sumps, sump is hidden bottom right, accessed from the side, but don't think it will come out without removing front panels.

Then rebuild the new sump and feed lines and hook the reef back up and watch my params for a few days.

The island tank will have a separate sump in the basement, probably be a 7 gallon bucket for a while. This tank will slowly become a brackish system, settling between 15 and 20 ppt.

Finishing my custom screen top for my new build. It has to be stained, sealed and the screen attached. Should've done that yesterday and today but reefapoluza was calling my name.

Clean up the mess I made this weekend. What started as a little plumbing cleanup took a turn for the worse and before you know it I decided to remove everything, move some to the garage, some to the dump and start over. After going outside and kicking a couple of bushes I came back in, built a list of what I needed to work on and in what order so I don't feel over whelmed, and now gluing the last bit of plumbing together that started the chain of events.

I think it is interesting what you noted there about the project @Crabs McJones - that is really how these are similar in complexity be it a new tank, and upgrade, or renovating a kitchen!

Drill a 40b that is replacing my leaking biocube.

Got a 6 foot 125 tank im cleaning up now. Had african cichlids in it, and converting it to a reef tank. Gotta drill the back, and everything. Should be fun, but this scraping business is for the birds.

Putting together a mobile water change/reef vacuum station. Basically, taking my 20g Brute and adding some plumbing, hoses, an external pump and a few other things to simplify everything related to water changes. No more bucket-hauling...

Always gots to have a new project. Reef tank thing gets boring otherwise. My next endeavor is to install a heat exchanger to heat/cool the tank and replace my chiller and stick heaters. Woo hoo …...
