Hi.... my name is Fred... i'm an addict!

Back in action, heres what I did...

Bought a ****in house, collected some equipment, cleaned said house, collected more equipment, painted some walls in said house, found more equipment in boxes, added some people to my family, and put first coat of paint on fishroom....


now this is where it gets tricky!

I need ideas... need help.... need more ideas....need an engineer for some ideas.....and a ton of ideas/help on how to set all this **** up!

any takers?

i always have something of a sort to drink in said ****ing house, so share your ideas, ill share my drink...

btw, i bought this ****in house in sw loveland....it has an unfinished basement...WOO****INHOO!





excuse my french, im kinda ****ing excited about actually being able to set up my system!

He has a 150!for a fuge and a 75 for a sump I think.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

I'd drink with ya

 

[Smiley]

i only need to hold the mechanicals... a 75 will do just fine..plus i already have the stand to hold it..unless i can find a used 125 tall...


i need some ideas on what to light the fuge with.. i believe its a 135g 72x18... thinking 3 of the par38 6500k.... ideas?

 

[Smiley]

You gonna do green or red Macro algae? If green do the 7 red 1 blue hydroponics par 38s

If red do something in the 8000k color temp.

WOOHOOO!!!!! Fred's BACK!

Yes, you, sir, are an addict!

Maybe you need to elaborate a bit on what equipment you have, so people know how to set your *** up!

And about this 'adding new people to the family stuff'... some elaboration on that'd be good, too!

 

[ReeferMatt]

Come get this 125 out of my garage, the wife hates scraping windows..

Following along as I used to live in sw Loveland.

90% of people in colorado dont pull permits to finish basements fireblocking is using wood or 5/8 rock to seal each bay in ceilings and walls to stop fire from moving from room to room and floor to floor they will want to see your fireblocking after rough electrical and mechanical so they can make sure all wire holes and ducting and mech lines are fire caulked if anyones sealing up old basments for the love of jebus make sure that hose bibs and waterlines dont run alond foundation walls they will freeze move them into bays that heater duct or hydronic heat lines iv fixed alot of homeowner basments

 

[Smiley]

do i need to fireblock if i only paint the concrete and not finish over it?

 

[Smiley]

ok, got the wall behind the refugium painted... time to start finding the equipment for it..maybe start a new build thread to boot!

 

[High Plains Reefer]

as long as it isnt walled in you dont need fireblocking

 

[scchase]

Yep no wall = no fireblocking
