Super fabulous Jack & Vickie!

AQTCJAK · 04-28-2008, 01:42 AM

Well it is almost complete filled it with tap water to check for leaks only 1 which I caused when trying to adjust a return.

Let it run for a few hours no leaks

So we drained it cleaned up the debris & startwed filling it with fresh mixed Salt water 25 gallons the drain the water from the old sump while Vicki proceeded to prepare Corals for transfer.

Transfer went well so far drained the old tank the rest of the way. While Vici was cleaning the skimmers the old tank decided to make a loud crack. I think we did it just in time.

These are the testing phase pictures I will post pictures of the tank full of corals tomorrow evening with 1 Solaris LED light on the system.

Also the Last picture is of the leftovers pile I utilized as much old PVC & Fittings as possibles to keep the cost down.

Craig Manoukian · 04-28-2008, 01:46 AM

Out with the old and in with the new, eh Jack!

JoJo · 04-28-2008, 06:46 AM

AQTCJAK · 04-28-2008, 10:55 AM

That is the end of a 40 watt UV

JoJo · 04-28-2008, 11:37 AM

oh, ok. i may of missed it but where is this tank being displayed in the house?

i hope that pile in the last pic is a trash pile. i see check valves, ball valve that can be re-used. oh, and an RO unit, is that the brand i'm ordering from you?

AQTCJAK · 04-28-2008, 01:21 PM

the tank is in a spare room.

The pipe is the left overs i will be scavging for other progects
