Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

That's an understatement.

Most get kicked out for not paying rent or destroying the place, you get evicted for not switching tanks. Classic.

 

Updates well where can I start. The tank build was put on hold because;

Dec 9th - Oldest daughter graduated from college (USF go Bulls).

Dec 16th - Flew to Kansas City, Missouri for my son's 9th birthday and then went to St. Joseph and saw David's setup.Of course Christmas played a role.
January 8th - Currently in Ohio for my daughter's 14th birthday party and then fly to Virginia for my mother's 80th birthday.

On another note, I am having my aluminum light fixture built. And having second thoughts on having a steel stand built also. I am meeting a guy who is going to look at my tank and give me a price on finishing my tank. Then he will take the tank to finish. I will be purchasing other equipment as needed with some deviations. So that's the latest as of now. Sorry for the delay.It its what it is and how it should be.

 

Wow, you've been busy.

Should be nice to have some of the weight of the build taken off your shoulders. You've been working very hard on this build.

I can't wait to see how it all looks!

 

Yes I have. I have even doubted the build because of things, like a closed loop, I'm not familiar with. But being with family does take the pressure off. Then outs back to put out a good product to my reef family. But at the same time with the weather this time of year, especially being out of florida, it takes a toll on my injuries so I have to get back to being right to complete the build.

 

Hey Bruh hope all is well with ya! I think you might win our little slow contest haha I'm finally gettin stuff done ... I have actually been makin good progress although the stupid glass shop didn't cut my glass for my sump right they did 2 pieces good but let 2 of them 1/8th of an inch to long so they don't fit... oh well!!! heres some update pics...any new progress on yours??

 

Your progress is looking good. My build will continue starting next month. This month I went out of town and paid all my bills so I have no regrets on the pause of the build. But seeing yours it looks like I will have to step my game up son.

 

yeah I def understand havin to pay the damn bills first haha its so annoying oh so I went to put all the glass in my sump and I realized the glass shop was off by 1/8th of an inch so now 2 of the baffles dont fit grrr

 

Man that has to suck big time. How can you not cut it right if given the right measurements. They get their skills from a cracker jax prize.

 

HAHAHA I like that!!! Oh and when I got there I told them the measured wrong and the lady told me sry sir but Im pretty sure you just measured the tank wrong!!!! haha I was pissed busted out my ruler and was like Im right your wrong fix it!!! ;D Oh and I think its time I make my own build thread haha I finally have something to show!!!!!

 

Whatever happened to the customer is always right. That's pretty bold of them to say, "Sorry sir but you measured wrong." And when they do find out it was them who made the mistake then they either read the measurements wrong or something happened during the cutting phase. Classic.
