Tomorrow, I will pick up my glass for my sump, and some plumbing supplies.

If you want to make it easier on yourself there's nothing like warm water a vinegar bath to clean corraline !

Oh yeah??? How would one go about making this "bath"? What ratio would I mix this magical vinegar and water????

Thanks... I like the way you think!

cheeks69 · 02-11-2007, 02:07 PM

What I would do is fill it up with warm tap water and add the vinegar, I really don't measure I just pour the vinegar in there and use a ph and let it sit for a few hours and then you can easily clean the corraline. I use the distilled white vinegar it's very cheap and works wonderfully !

Thank You!!!!

..or.. instead of filling it up, you could get a spray bottle with pure vinegar and spray it on the coralline. Just spray it every 20 min or so and soon the coralline will be falling off like butter

OOOH... I like that too! "Tanks" a bunch!

Well... just wanted to give a little update. I am almost finished with my sump/fuge. I have one more baffle to silicone and, of course, I have to touch up the rest. Did you know the BEST way to make a silicone bead is with an icecube???? It really works! I wish I knew for the first two baffles, after picking silicone off my hands for two days. Everything looks good so far... will post pics when complete. I am looking at setting up everything this weekend... wish me luck!

Woodstock · 02-15-2007, 09:47 AM

Yay! Progress!

saltwaterfarm · 02-15-2007, 09:54 AM

BTW, I MUST send out a great big thank you to BrothaWolf for his time and hundreds (I'm not kidding) of PM's regarding this sump. I wouldn't have even considered building it without all of his help!!! Karma to Wolfy!!!

Woodstock · 02-15-2007, 09:56 AM

Way to be there brothawolf

IME, Having someone to help and give encouragement is critical for such projects.
