Marty's 180g [My Elusive Shrimp]

Me too, it feels like a million years ago that we started this thing.

 

Always read the directions

I was humbled by Reeflo support today. I've been having troubles with leaking from the inlet and outlet manifolds so I sent them an email telling them how dissatisfied I was. Turns out they recommend using silicone to seal the threads and not thread tape as it can bunch up. This is what I get for not reading directions.

excellent! almost time to pop the top on an adult beverage for this project

 

Indeed, it will be the best tasting brew I've ever had!

A few more pictures today. The bin on the left is my salt water reservoir which will house a heater and a powerhead. We have a feeder line from the RO/DI installed and a water change, half inch, pvc run with will dump straight into my return secion of my sump. A manifold will be used to pump water out first. We also installed an over flow drain for care-free RO/DI filling. Just turn it on and go to bed. The fresh water reservoir for top-offs will have a powerhead to keep the kalk dosing stirred up. We have also installed a sight glass with a float so I can see when my ATO reservoir gets low. This bin will also have a feeder line, but will only use a 1/4" tube from a ATO driven pump to feed the fuge. Both can lids will have a breather port and HEPA filter installed.

 

Congrats on getting the tank wet!

 

Thanks!

The overflow box plumbing is going in tonight in preparation of getting my sump/fuge next week.

 

SW and FW bins complete and filling. Tank as full as it can get until fuge shows up. Pumps go on tomorrow to keep things moving.

 

Minor repairs today on my FW storage tank sight glass. There was a small leak out of the bottom. Re-siliconed it and it's drying right now. Filled it high enough to know that the float actually works.
