Sump Update
Well I suppose I've left it long enough now but we're nearly there now!! I spent today adding salt and temp to the sump and it's all mixing and circulating now :) The Vectra will be in on Wednesday and by then all the plumbing will be set and cured so we'll be completely running! I'm looking forward to the smoothness that will come with the sump running and everything going again, I'm going to change up to component 1, 2 & 3 for the dosing as it's easy to get hold and just a cost effective as Randy's.
I suppose some pics of the sump might be nice ;) this is the left side with the shelf, doser and frag tank, I'm so glad the Kore has holes to be screw mounted!
Then there's the right side which houses the overflow, skimmer and heater in the first chamber, the RO section underneath which I LOVE! lol. Along with all of that is the power management centre of two powerbars for 16 plugs lol not that I currently use them all! I still need to finish the wiring but that needs to wait for the equipment to be in the sump lol
Then when have the shelf where I've got the ballast living and it will also hold the dosing containers and other misc sh!t lol
As you can see I've mounted some led's down the guts of the cabinet and they work a treat :)
As some of you may know I've got a once in a lifetime fish currently being held in the acro tank at Deer Park and I am beyond excited to get this gem of a cirrhilabrus! Of course once I put down my liver to ensure my name went on him, I got a message from Dave a few hours later with a screenshot from one of his suppliers....
The bugger had finally sourced a l. susumi for me after three years of chasing one! It doesn't help that I have to pay half a kidney to get this guy too, he's gorgeous though, waiting patiently in store till they remove my kidney :P looks like I can manage without some vital organs and food for the next month hahaha
Tomorrow will be fragging and cleaning day! Going to get the zoa's completely cleaned up, the matrix cleaned and in and some general organising to get myself ready :D
