180 relocation project

[normanviking]

I moved it already. lol Other things keeping me back from stocking it now. I need a sump still. I wanted to buy the guy out in Rifle, but it is taking forever to get. I will just go to agrifeed? I think and get one there. Maybe a 300 gallon sump. lol

 

[normanviking]

Hey Payl If that flex pvc is still up for grabs is cool if I came by and grabbed it? I would like to see your setup too.

 

[murfman]

I get off work at 1400 you are welcome to it.

 

[normanviking]

Awesome, I am not sure when I will be done working today. Will PM you then if not to late.

 

[murfman]

sounds good!

 

[normanviking]

Here are some latest pics of the tank. Good news is I can use the bigger trough. My GF got a Tacoma yesterday and traded in here Z. So now the whole garage is mine

 

[murfman]

Looking good, Dan, when are you hosting?????

 

[normanviking]

LOL, not for a little while. I need it to be running still. I know Scott is getting sick of my crap, so I need it to be soon.

 

[murfman]

I really like those flat rocks!!!!

 

[Deuce67]

Woohoo! Water is finally being added. So the GF traded in the Z? Man I thought she loves that ride?

 

[normanviking]

I loved that ride. She has wanted a Tacoma for years. lol I went to get my oil changed yesterday, its free. I bought my truck at Pikes Peak Acura. So I told her to come look at all the fancy cars up there will I was getting the oil changed. We left with a new truck. lol

Looking really good Dan, I love the way you shaped the rocks.
I hope you have enough surface to attach all your frags though, you may have to add a pillar in the center or something later? Maybe an Island would look cool that you could glue a bunch of frags to.
If you are ready to plumb let me know if you want to borrow a pump to get it going.
BTW it sounds like i can no longer buy from reeflo, they are getting fussy about selling to the public and my source now lives in California
I checked with Kip in Ft Collins and he'll sell one for the same cost as marine depot without the shipping, but you have to pay tax.
Anyway I'll keep after Ben to get me the one for free still.

 

[normanviking]

Ok sounds good. Want to sell your Snapper??? I need to sell my house before I spend money on a pump though.

 

[reefkoi]

No I need to keep a spare on that particular pump because it runs the chiller and the other pumps won't fit they are too big.
But like I say your welcome to borrow it till we get you a Dart if you use unions on the install its only a 5 minute job to exchange them out.
We need to push Scott to start carrying them, after all he can buy wholesale, and he'd be the closest dealer in the world to Reeflo

Scott, you listening??

 

[Deuce67]

LOL! I went to Reeflo mid last week and the lady wouldnt sell me one. I guess Ill have to wait till Scott carries them. Scott, if you read this, I need a Dart. Not anytime soon though.

 

[normanviking]

SCOTT I NEED ONE REAL SOON. lol

 

[Deuce67]

Im heading to Scotts in a few. I need some astreas. Ill talk to him about the pumps.

 

[reefkoi]

Me too, we're heading down there at 3 I'll bug him, maybe if we all bug him, he'll get on the ball before all the other LFS beat him to it.

 

[Deuce67]

Just got back from Scotts. Went there for some astreas and walked out with a clam and coral. Sigh. There goes my upgrade funds. I think Scott will get some pumps this week.

 

[reefkoi]

He better, I bugged him about it too.
I was shocked when he said you bought a clam Russ, where did you find room to put it!?
