KOgle's 180 diary

Who me I just like to help him spend his money.......... like you help me spend mine

 

Tank is looking good Kris, especially considering there are no fish

 

Where is the new pic of your new pack rat....

 

I think he might still be in hiding Scott arty-smi!! I have been over twice since he got him and I haven't seen him yet... I don't believe Kris has either

 

I mean the Urchin. That thing has live snails, veggie clip and chunks of coralline attached to it. Looks like he is back packing in the 180g.

 

Oh ya I've seen him... quite the showoff! Pretty neat to watch... I thought you meant the crab!!

 

I need to get a good picture of him. I was thinking I had spotted the decorator crab this evening but the red mythrix crab had molted and I was seeing the molt.

 

Get that ACIII online yet???

 

Kris, Did you try to close all of those ball valves on your new manifold at the same time? From the looks of it, they seem really close together. I wouldn't want you to find yourself in an emergency situation where you'd have to shut everything off, and the handles hit each other and interfere with closing them all the way. You could always trim a little off the ends of the handles if that is the case. If there is enough clearance between the handle of each valve when they're all shut, then you planned it out just fine.
For the lines that you know were going down to a smaller size, you could have put the reducers first, then a smaller valve. The smaller valve would be less expensive, and you could have better control over your flow rate with the smaller valve.
Hope it all works out. Nice job so far!

 

Bogie, I didn't plan that far ahead. The good news is the one's I can't shut off are controlled by separate valves.

Otty, Man I can't figure this thing out. I looked up the IP address of the router but no go. I keep getting a message that says Aquacontroller not responding.

I'm giving up on it for the night.
