Two new 100 G starfire glassand tank and one 80G tank incomming

Yes i will , thanks for the encouragements. I sure will i hate oneliners and endless post with no pics in it and lifeless colorless discussions.

 

While waiting

While i'm waiting for the sump this week last week they've installed my heat exchanger and central air-conditioner. The heat and air exchanger will kick in when the humidity go over what ever i set it too, so right now before the tank is full its 30 % and its dry inside get my electric shock every morning lol, so normal is about 45% to be comfortable .

It always does.....







They had to make the 5" dryer hole bigger to 6" for the new unit, i'm loosing the dryer for now but will fix it later, shhhhhh.The wall is 8" thick cement second floor , poor guy.



Primari vent arrives in the washer, dryer room also my RO/DI unit room.






The small unit on the floor is good for twice the size of my flat





Two pipes for the foul air outake, and two for the fresh air intakes





Doing the intakes and outakes





In my fishroom i'm having one outake to take the excess humidity out and one to bring fresh air in , so i can close the door and have a seperate system with the rest of the condo, i've also have the controls put in the fishroom so the unit will work according to the ambiant parameters of the fishroom and proceed accordingly, min or max. output.





Drilling for the airconditioning, actually its called a thermopump here now, its a combination of airconditioning and heater and its actually working together with the heat exchanger and use less energy if its possible, the heat exchanger uses the same as a 60W light bulb in a day, thats it.





Outside the unit makes 38dB less than your fidg and a small fan i had to ask if it was working.

 

Damn... your going all out.. Nice work.

 

Well the heat and air exchanger , sure are for mostly the tanks evaporation but the central air is for me mostly when i cook for my elderly ,in my semi retirement i still have to do something and doing that at home in the comfort is a must. I'll be with my cats and fish tanks and happy as a clam, lol. I've already done 30 so countries i've seen enough, i want to stay home now. That $ 8000 duo will give me that. Thats beside the $ 15 000 empty tank set up now.

 

Making water

Puralator called they're delivering the sump tomorow, wednesday the 18th, i'm starting to make water, it'll take 2.6 days to make 255 G of water. While i'm awake of course. One of my buddy is comming to iron out some of the plumbing i'm not familiar with but the rest is already to go, drains and returns, pumps and RO/DI, skimmer, Lightings, powerheads, and everything is ready to receive the fish. I'll be using at this point since i'm so behind , the bioproduct to start my tank, so i can put my fishes right away in it. I've seen it used and it works great. A friend of mine used it to start his whole fish store, if that's not confidence what is. I would of prefer the natural way but i want my family to see something in for Christmas . So in with the new technology. I'll have my chromis in te tank since they've been in quarantine 60 days now. and i'll have my Yellow tang in Quarantine in the QT .








I have a question for you guys. Since i'll be starting all tech and with no need of live rock, and that in my start fuge i've discover bristleworms should i still put the sand and live rock in. This is if you think BW are of any value of course.

 

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are doing to cycle....

 

New technology

Its a new technology, its a pack of glass vials containing all the different kinds of bacteria needed in a mature tank. You have to incorporate them in successions and with in 24 hour you can put your fish in any tank. Its a proven tech because an entire shop i know, started its operation like that. I know the owner personaly. Its new on the market and very effective. depending on the size tank, mine would cost about $ 54 plus the $ 46 bio feed you have to put in a few weeks later to keep the bacteria alive until the cycle become automatic and self supporting. Its a way to jumpstart your system if your impatient. In my case 6 months into the build up and at least 3 months late and nothing for Christmas while the family is here. So i'm doing it. . My live rock will still bring something to the make up of the cycle and improve the cycle process.

Cat AS throphy

Do not panic, i've done that already; as i was cleaning my new sump; its in 2 pieces, a 32"x19"x16"high for the drains, sock and skimmer and the second part for the reactors and return pumps. 18"x19"x16"high , the skimmer section had a piece of hair near the hole for the bulkhead. Well i though it was a hair, as i wipped it with paper towel and vinegar, thats when i heard it the craking noise . From the bulkhead hole to the top of the panel a crack and my yelling NOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. YEP brand new sump. So i contacted Concept Aquariums which i sent pictures of the crack by now i had smeared on a thick coating of silicone on both side of the exterior panel. They were very calm and had immediate solutions. One was to contact one of their friends here in Ottawa who could repair the panels at their cost and within a few days. So thats the best solution to get this wet party on track as i have a 30 gallons drum to empty in the main tank. So thats the plan . Tomorrow i'm taking the sump to that store who happens to be a member of my local aquarist club, a buddy of mine lol , small world.

 

I feel like Moses

ust like to share this moment of joy which is like comparing it to the baptism (a ceremonial immersion in water) of a tank. A lot of hurdles have been jumped to get there, lol . Thanks to my new friends here in this club ; David ,Philippe ,Martin ,Marc ,Stuart ,Jp , who helped at one time or another and those of you for your support. Enjoy the mini vid lol it actually made me go.
