1000 Gallon Build- Here we go- Lots of Pictures

Just get a set of clip-on filters for your phone and you'll be surprised at how much of a difference it makes. No need for fancy camera if you just want to show your system versus actual photography (that's how I am anyway).

P.S. you still have the F-car or have you changed it up?


Still have the Ferrari- about to sell it as I'm having a Pista come later this summer. Added a Mclaren 720 to the garage last year. Unreal car!!

Excellent! The 720s are just unreal. Amazing performance. The pista seem to be pretty intense themselves. Interested to hear your comparison between the 488 and pista.

Pista arrives end of the year. But between the 488 and 720, it's no contest. 720 destroys it in every aspect.
 
I just wanted to give an update on my tank and I hope I dont jinx myself. For the first time in a long time, everything is just humming. I had an issue where someone messed with my skimmer pumps and I was losing salinity cause the skimmer was overflowing - but I got that corrected.

Since then, everything is rock solid.

Temp is stable with my chiller between 76-77 degrees.
Salinity is stable at 1.024
All water levels are within ideal parameters
They mysterious fish deaths from a year or so ago have stopped- have not lost anything since we figured out it was ICH in the tank and that has been rectified
The quarantine tank is working as its supposed to. Nothing goes in the main display without a minimum of 2 weeks of QT. We transfer only when fish are eating well.

All in all- its taken some time for me but the tank is working the way its supposed to work. I owe you guys a full tank shot which I will get soon.
 
Put a big *** gray angel in today. Gonna take a few days before the fish start getting along. Blueface going in a few weeks. Will get a good video and post at that time.
 
Any videos? Gorgeous house / aquarium / sump / cars / life by the way.

Lol- I'm out of the country vacationing few a week or so. I keep saying I'll get a video but honestly the only reason I haven't is that this website makes it impossible to upload anything. I need to redownload tapatalk I think.

House is great. We almost sold it and decided to build a new home but decided against it.

Ferrari 488 is gone. Ferrari Pista coming in the fall/winter time. Factory has my build but it hasn't started production yet.

I'm enjoying my mclaren 720 tremendously. It's a beast of a car. Keeping it for now- May swap out for the LT version but not sure at the time. Sold my Porsche's but I miss them. I'll be getting back into a Porsche soon.

Other than that- just working hard, playing hard. Fish tank is finally doing great. Lots of early challenges that are now gone.

Thank you all for following along. I'm blessed but most importantly, my family is great. To me- that is more important than anything. My wife and kids are health and happy- what more could I ask for!
 
Here are a couple of crappy iPhone pics...

Sam, Congrats on selling the 488, that didn't seem to take to long. Do you have any interest in the Tesla Roadster? I've done some research and it looks amazing, just a little afraid to be one of the first.

I've owned a Model S since 2015. I was driving it and then my wife took it and has been her daily driver. I think we just crossed 80k miles on it. Just passed it on to our daughter as she has a long daily commute.

My wife ordered the new Audi E Tron.

I owned a Model X. Drove it for a year and it was the biggest piece of crap I ever owned. Tesla bought it back from me.

As far as the roadster- I have zero interest in the car. The straight line speed will be mind boggling. But that's it. The build quality on Tesla's is horrible. The interior quality is also utter crap. And frankly I don't think this car is ever going to make it to market.

Elon Musk lies every time he gets a chance. He is just full of it and has a history of making promises that never come to fruition.

Solar roofs?
Battery sap stations?
Electric semis?
35k model 3?

I could go on and on. Anytime the stock is in trouble- they make some bs announcement which buys them time and publicity.

Anyways- long story short, for 250k I can think of 2 dozen other car(s) I would buy over a Tesla Roadster.
