    Sump/Fuge Ordered


    Thanks, I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. hehe

    Ordered the model G sump today from Melev's reef. It should be done in about 4 weeks. The wait will kill me! lol

    Came home to more goodies today. :)

    One beautiful SpectraPure MaxCap 90gpd RO/DI unit

    This is much larger than I had envisioned, having never seen one up close. It is huge.

    Both of my squids for closed-loops #1 and #2

    I can't wait to see the flow from these!

    I'm going to document the whole thing from planning to demo to cycling to stocking. Just trying to enjoy the process. :)

    I'm glad you can enjoy the process with me. :) Ever since the day 5 years ago that I had to give up my 72g bowfront I have missed my fish. :)

    Still no progress on the demo. We are having the permit review guy come out today to review the work on our new sub-panel. The electricians that did the work have been ducking us for a week now and according to the guy coming to review the work, there is no permit on file even though we were charged for one by the company that did the work. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. :( We are hoping to resolve this today.

    YES! lol


    Received more goodies today. Some testing equipment, refractometer and the 800w titanium heating system...

    Also began demo with Dave (the awesome non-sucky type of contractor)

    This wall will be gone to expand the new laundry room. We will need to put a beam up though as this wall is load bearing. The dark wall on the right will be the wall where the tank will go. Still much to do before the tank goes in...

    Just happy to be tearing stuff up... :)
