155 re-plumbed (again)

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

I've been busy, behind the scenes, but busy.  This past weekend I finally finished the re-plumb using spaflex and hard pipe for my supply lines.  This weekend I'll be getting some help to move the tank, install the modified sump (thanks Les!), and do another trial run.  If there's no leaks, I'll be looking for help to move the tank back off the stand and move things inside to cut more holes in the floor for the chiller install and connect the overflow protection plumbing to the drain that has been in my floor for almost 2 years now waiting for the tank.  We seriously need less hobbies!

I'll try to get some pictures in the next couple days.

Yeah, finally movement!     Sounds great now maybe in two more years you can put water in there!    

[Nate C.]

Hah!  I deserve that, I know.  But, I hope to have it in the house in a few weeks, and rocks, sand and maybe even snails and crabs in it before Christmas.   :wink:

Sweet deal my friend but you know I had to give you hard time!     I wish I was there to help.

I woudn't have expected anything else bud.     I wish you could be here to see it once we get it done.  Guess you'll have to come back and visit someday.   :wink:

Uh yeah that's a given.

Well, there has been tap water running through the system in the garage with no problems to be seen for nearly 2 days now.  It's official, I'll be moving it in the house to work on plumbing the chiller, overflow protection and automatic top-off/secondary pump for draining (water changes) the weekend before Christmas.  Hope to have saltwater in it and running by sometime in January!

Will have to try to get some this evening.  Nothing overly impressive to look at unfortunately...they'll be pretty boring.  

[tyler5g]

Thats ok.  We like to see the internal workings of the tank as well as the beautiful finished product. So bring on that plumbing.

[angelscrx]

Nothing like watching your baby grow from a bare tank to a full reef.  it just makes you wanna cry  :lol:

[Nate C.]

OK, finally got the camera out to the garage, here's some pictures:
