Rebuilding the sump Room!

So for the two stands - I have 3 coats of Kilz oil based and 2 coats of exterior semi gloss. Once the final coat dries - I will start hanging the plumbing behind. I can not position the 2nd stand yet as It will go where the current stand ends.

My goal is this Friday to switch it all over!!!

 

All this hard work is going to pay off. Looking great RB.

 

Thanks Matt. A lot of thought went into the rebuild. Definitely making it expandable. One of these days I want a 240 or 300dd

 

Picked up a 105 gallon vertical storage tank today. They only had one. Grrrr. Need to wait for another shipment.

 

Very impressive RB. With the coats your putting on those stands, that wood will now be around for thousands of years!
Nice work. I think you may have seen my sump area now with my formewr 125 sumping for my 180?
I have nothing this elaborate- nice job putting what's been done and adding your own specific needs to it, etc.
PS- no sarcasm intended in that last statement.
You're doing really nice things here to your sump room, I'll be following along,
maybe 'stealing' an idea or two from you!

 

Thanks Todd yes I have seen some of yours. I got some more plumbing done today. I am at the second guessing stage. Being I am dealing with a live tank I don't have the down time I would want to test it first. Plus i can't move the one stand out to move the tall stand in until I dismantle the sump. I do have a friend helping me on the final leg but a little apprehensive for it

 

Friday is the big move. I will post some pics along the way. Gonna be a long day!

 

Well Friday was a long day, Overall successful but a huge undertaking moving everything. Only a few hick ups but ran out of time, Got the sump running with the skimmer and fuge up.

Today could not do much but clean up so I can work in the room tomorrow.

Sunday will be a jam packed day but punch list is not that bad.

Hook up Frag tank, Calcium Reactor, ATO with Kalk Stirrer, Bio pellet reactor, and some tweaking. Also have to finish moving the apex.

 

Okay, LONG WEEKEND> This is no way near ready for some video - but came a long way. Dont even want to post these pics but I am anyway as it is a work in process.

I still need to dial in the system, I need to clean up my wires, I need to (been working on it tonight) reprogram some outlets on the apex.

I thought I had Calibration fluid but I did not, so everything is hooked up but the Calcium reactor is off until I can re-calibrate.

I will post up a few more pics once I clean up some more. Once I get it all up and running and cleaned up I will post up a new video of it running.

Over all - I am happy with how it came out. Still have to figure out how / where I am putting my Dosing pumps.

 

Here are a few more. Again still have cleaning and tweaking to do.

 

So cleaned up the apex some. Still some tweaking to do.

 

Okay everything calibrated and tied in! (For the most part) here are some more pics. Just need to raise the light on the fuge for the mangroves.

 

So any feedback? What do you think?
