Picked up a second reefbrite strip 48" blue. Gen1 which is dimmable. Also scored a 120 from Great White (Thanks Vince!) but need to get a stand for it. I'll have Craigar start building it as soon as I get back from San Diego. The stand will have to fit a 48x24 footprint sump for later use..also have a 6" lip around it so my cats can perch on it to stare at the fishes.

Just got back from Vacation and snapped a pick. I assume no food was introduced into the tank while I was away, but yet my yellow watchman is fat as hell. Macros are doing good, however i lost the red grape and the ulva macros a few weeks ago. Time to start working on the display tank portion to add to the system.

Building my 75g sump today. Spent the last 2 weeks scraping out all the old silicon, and noticed a sticker saying the tank was built in May of 1985.....

While Im waiting to have a stand built, I thought about a few other things.
People are running wastewater from RO/DI outside to water plants and stuff. I have water storage outside, but I am wondering about something.....If my water storage is 5ft above ground level, can I just run 1/4" or 1/2" tubing from it with drippers for each individual plant i want to irrigate? I am assuming gravity will force water out to the drippers, but at what length will it push it? I plan on about 50ft with 6 drippers...
Also, has anyone used wastewater for a freshwater planted tank? would it work? thinking about a planted tank for my quest bedroom/2nd office.

Ok...so here ya go.... stand is delivered and sitting in place... still needs to be finished... still looking for a top... cant get a match to my kitchen counters so thinking other possibilities. Anyone know where I can find a 1"+ thick red oak plank 32" wide and 6ft long?

Here is my replacement fuge and sump... larger than the 55/46 combo i have currently running. Still need to build a stand to accommodate them.

Time is the only thing holding me back, as well as the fact that i keep changing my mind on how and where i want it all to flow.
