I think it looks so good! Nice work! Is your skimmer external to the sump? I can't remember.

External.

Thanks Mike. Just gotta keep the plumbing up to par now. It’s is going to be a rat race with the tank up and going at the same time, and trying to race a little to keep the tank and smaller tank happy.

Just got 60’ of pvc! And a ton of tiny elbows and such! Self check out was super fun. Lol

I bet it was! I’m sure you’ll make the transition swimmingly! You have a knack for making challenging projects look simple.

Give me a couple more days. Doing plumbing on Tuesday I think. The sump will be moved under the controller cabinet.

Getting ready to rock and roll! I’m going to program the apex for the move tonight and do the plumbing tomorrow morning. I have a to. Of elbows unions... 50 feet of pvc (with some cool orange just for effect) ready to go in the morning! Super excited for this. It’ll look better and be way easier to clean...

Easier to clean sounds good to me.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

Not entirely finished but good enough for today! 2 extra trips to the store, one flat tire and one minor flood. but it’s running. All dropped from 8.5 to 7.7 in just a few hours and the tank is cold... leaving things alone for a couple days.

That looks a lot more manageable now that its not tucked back in that corner. Nice work

Looking good! Nice work!

Yea, in theory I liked it tucked away but in practice was no good. I lost some shelving but that just made me get rid of some stuff... which is good.

Thanks! Still some work to do... need a couple small 3foot extensions and making a lid for the sump wit the laser cutter.

Definitely getting better at plumbing.

Not a big change but I got the reactor up and out of the way. It is more functional day to day with more space for testing and such... I think I have cords long enough to get it down for servicing... time will tell.
