Akwar'eum Too - Page 11

Bubbles bubbles everywhere.
Great start. Can't wait to see it get all yucky and nasty pulling junk out of the curing vats.

Terry- Still using the LG, I have to get the proper fittings to get the Hammerhead up and running.

Frankie- I used your trick of loostening up the bottom screws. It spit and sputtered like you said. I think I need to hook up the bigger pump.

Victor- Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen, that's just freakin' nasty!

JoJo- Ditto!

Me too! Thanks for stopping in Lynn.

Geez, I figured I'd been away long enough that I'd come in here and see pics of a BEAUTIFUL REEF up and running. So where are the pics?

framerguy · 06-06-2008, 06:51 PM

Come on man..I don't even have a tank yet

It ships in twelve more days. I do, however, have live rock perculating in my vat system! There are lot's of beautiful pieces.

Chris called and said the toilets are on the fritz again at his house so I guess I'll go play in pooh for a while

...lucky me!

Dentoid · 06-06-2008, 06:57 PM

It can't be the same thing that caused the toilets to act up last time...I hope!

Anyway, how is the daisy-chained-Rubbermaid-LR-curing-system working out?

framerguy · 06-06-2008, 07:06 PM

The vats are working great. I had to slow the flow down a bit because of the pipe sizes but it funtions just fine.

It turns out Chris' septic tank is full, I can't do much about that one so we are calling in the pros. Hey, it's been there 20 years, that's a lot of poop! No seriously, the RODI waste water was going to it for a long time and filled the system with water and now it needs to be pumped out.

Dentoid · 06-06-2008, 07:09 PM

No drain fields? Generally, solids have to pumped out, liquids flow into the drain field and fertilize the grass.

JoJo · 06-07-2008, 08:43 AM

man that one thing i'm glad we dont have. i love city sewage piping.

framerguy · 06-07-2008, 11:34 AM

We have a drain field but it's good ol' Georgia clay based so It's really slow and couldn't keep up with the water I was putting in it. It worked great for a long time and will again.

The skimmer is working great. I got parts to hook up the snapper pump and will do that tonight so maybe it will work even better. The LG is a little weak to pump both becketts but drives one of them pretty well so an extra 1200GPH with the Sequence Snapper should make a lot of difference.

lcstorc · 06-07-2008, 11:59 AM

The grass in our drain field is nice and green.

Craig Manoukian · 06-09-2008, 03:59 PM

Nice sludge, Greg!

tbittner · 06-09-2008, 05:34 PM

I understand now! THAT is where they get Miracle Mud from!
