75g build.

As eager as I am to get water in it and cycling I'm not really trying to rush. Plus I work 55 hours a week. It is from home but still requires a lot of attention. Anyways, Plumbing done. Powerstrip mounted. ATO almost mounted. Now just to tidy up the wires and we'll have water in this POS.

Looks good

You are going to mount the ATO floats after the bubble trap right?

 

[CrazyEyes]

No, I'm mounting in it the skimmer compartment.

 

[kory1006]

No, I'm mounting in it the skimmer compartment.

The water level in the skimmer compartment isn't going to change. After the bubble trap is where it'll drop, as its the last part in the system.

 

[CrazyEyes]

D@mnit, I had my ato in the skimmer section on my last sump. But I just read like 10 other people saying that it needs to be in the return comartmant. Thanks for the heads up man.

 

[kory1006]

No problem. You still doing DIY for lighting?

The setup is all coming together bro. All I can say is good job, clean setup and look foreward to future updates.

what's under the pump?

 

[CrazyEyes]

Just a piece of cardboard for now. I only did that because the pump has to be sitting on something. Im going to go pickup a rubber mouse pad later today.

Sooooo, went and picked up my LR. I made a really nice structure for it. When I got home and set the container down it all came apart so I now have 6 pieces of rock so in other workds, fml. This tank is a bad omen that might end up getting sold.

Sad to hear man. Push through. Support is here!

 

[Rustafar]

Bad omen ??? I don't understand, wet box fell apart and broke a couple of rocks.How can that be a bad omen ?? It's not like you broke a mirror or something.If it is a bad omen you just screwed up the selling of the tank on here. Lol.

Dont take this the wrong way but if we all thought that way. Nobody would still have tanks up. The list of stuff that goes wrong is long for all of us.

 

[CrazyEyes]

It was just annoying because the structure I built literally fell completely apart. Which at the time was really annoying but might have might been a blessing in disguise because after being up until 3am rearranging rocks and filling it the tank is now cycling and has such a minimal aqauscape. Hope it cycles quickly.

WATERS IN!!!

Now to relax and be stress free for a bit.
