AQTCJAK · 02-27-2008, 08:07 PM

Just messing with you was all

Frankie · 02-27-2008, 08:42 PM

Sweet tank! I like the brace they built. LifeReef has a good rep. i a sure you will like the system. Cool thread!

rmlevasseur · 02-27-2008, 09:13 PM

Thanks Frankie! The stand arrived today, the sump room is prepped, the RO/DI is plumbed, the background is on, durso equip purchased... now all I need is some burly dudes to help me hoist the beast on the stand! (that happens tommorrow)

tbittner · 02-27-2008, 09:19 PM

After the burly dudes help you out, send them down my way. I'm going to need about 8 of them.

That is gonna be one outstanding set up.. I am a huge fan of Jeff and Life Reef.... Cant waite to follow along.

Frankie · 02-27-2008, 11:29 PM

I saw a thread on another site where a guy used an air bag lift to put the tank on the stand. It was a pretty smooth idea! I bet you can get them from a rental store.

tbittner · 02-27-2008, 11:47 PM

aHA! Thanks Frankie! I'll check into that. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how I'm going to do that.

Please excuse the intrusion, Robert.

rmlevasseur · 02-28-2008, 12:03 AM

I felt like an airbag getting the tank down the basement stairs!

rmlevasseur · 02-29-2008, 08:51 PM

Phew, what a chore plumbing up everything! Now the long wait for 250 gallons of RO water. ZZZZZZZZ.

Craig Manoukian · 02-29-2008, 09:43 PM

Pictures please Robert! Sounds awesome.

rmlevasseur · 02-29-2008, 10:19 PM

My darn camera is acting all funky. I need a new one bad. Sometimes it will work, sometimes in won't. New batteries don't help. Its gettin kinda old

tbittner · 02-29-2008, 11:07 PM

I think you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll make 250g. Are you draining the DI water directly into the tank? Or are you collecting it in a barrel first.

rmlevasseur · 03-01-2008, 12:17 AM

I'm draining directly into the tank. I figure I'll be done sometime monday, but you are right is going faster than I expected. Will be hard not to call in sick monday

tbittner · 03-01-2008, 12:29 AM

I know the feeling!!! It's SICK!!!
