Rockwork looks great! Should be a killer tank!

 

[Roc]

Why do I feel so excited about seeing this tank come to life...........................

 

[iani]

Slowly coming together. You can see the skimmer (alpha kone 300) with a AVAST Swabbie.

Just for fun.

You can see the wire to one of the future circuits that will be placed in the dining room.

Hope that yellow wire is only temporary, or at the very least no inspectors ever see that

 

[iani]

Hahaha, yeah. The electrician is sticking to code. He is also going to fix all the other things that may not be up to code. It won't be done by the weekend.

Here are the floors still drying with its third and final coat.

Wow, I hear my wife saying already... "No shoes in the house!!!"

 

[nanoguy]

You're the man Ian! New house, new setup, and work........you definitely have your hands full. Your efforts are paying off........the setup is coming together nicely. I can't wait to see pics of it up and running. Any concerns with the sump being under the house? I just took my garage sump off line because my heaters (2x250 watt ebo) kept turning on to keep the water at the set temp. My garage gets cold at night.

Jimmy, hopefully I can run my tank a bit on the cool side. I don't mind if its stable 72-75 degrees. We will see.

Got a bit more progress to report.

Plumbed the 2 100g water containers. They will be placed under the house.

Sfiligoi all put together (thanks Jess for the paint job)

Yeah, I know I should upgrade some of the valves. I will probably regret it in the future.

 

[GreshamH]

Let me know when you want to, I'll give you a screaming deal on really good ones

Ian
Where did you get the containers? how many gallons?

 

[GreshamH]

I bet he got them at The Tank Depot (ok so I read the label on them and assumed that one)

http://www.tank-depot.com/

Dang that place had great prices for a retail outfit

Hmm, may need to take you up on that in the future.


Dudley, Gresham is right. They are 100 gallons each. Issue with them is that if you buy one shipping is like 140. It gets more worth it as you buy more.

 

[GreshamH]

How much did it cost for two? Are those shipped from the Cali warehouse? Any chance of P/U?

Just curious as like I said, those are good prices.
