And the rebuild begins.

Id like to get some of the good ones, but I think they're rare.. hense the reason PPM sells them for $10 each.

 

[fdokinawa]

some picks.. I just put some more live rock in and pulled the ones we originally put in there out for a good scrubbing. I also found the rock with the octopus on it.. its sitting in my cooking tub right now.

Looking great man!!!

The skimmer sits up about 6 inches now.. and I moved the rocks into the overflow area with the cheido. Slid the sump all the way to the left also, the 10 gallon fits... barely. going to get the mesurments and everything for it tomorrow.

With the skimmer up out of the water I shouldnt have to mess with the water flow and air as much.. wont be any back pressure on it now. Thing is a pain to keep having to dial in. I also ordered a external catch.. ahh thing for it. will keep it from overflowing if the skimmate gets to wet.

and here are the new pics...

It is really coming together now. Can't wait to see the 10 gl fuge set up.

 

[fdokinawa]

Jeff.. know where I can get another small tank? focking cracked the one we drilled out. really pi$$ed at myself. oh well.. Id like to find a plexi one if we can..

 

[jeffb3t]

Pet box in chatan has some Cheap ones but they are glass too. You might be able to find a plastic one though. Don't worry, If you have to get another glass one, We can drill it again.

 

[fdokinawa]

k, I'll check petbox and makuman out and see if I can find a plexi one, if not I'll get a glass one again. charge up the drill.. =D

 

[jeffb3t]

Drill is charged and ready to go. Makeman has lots of small tanks but all were glass. I was there today. Maybe petbox....

 

[fdokinawa]

Wont be able to look untill Wed. If they dont have any I'll just get another glass one.. I know how i messed up the last one.. and I wont do it again.

 

[jeffb3t]

Can you jam a 10 gl in there? measurements are 20 "long X 12"HX 10.5 W. If you can, you can have the ten i got. Might save you a couple bucks.

 

[fdokinawa]

ahh think thats to big. the stand we built bearly fits in there.

 

[jeffb3t]

Ok then, Go for the same size as the broke one and we will drill it again.

 

[jeffb3t]

So where are the pics of the new fuge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fdokinawa]

here ya go.. sorry, forgot all about it.. lol

 

[jeffb3t]

Very good!! Make sure you harvest some of the cheato if it becomes too large. Glad to finally see pics.

 

[fdokinawa]
