Another 180 comes to LIFE

[pewter_jean]

Well after months of landlord changing his mind back and forth, and weeks of two steps forward and one back. I got my 180 fired up at
6oclock tonight.
So far mostly everything seems ok, with the exception of two things.

1). the skimmer is foam like a rabid dog.

I am asuming that this is normal with new skimmers. )ASM's anyway.
I will let it run for a few days to see if it clears up and runs normally. I will also probly put something under it, to raise it up, that might also be the problem.

2). Is the stand pipes. One is not right. I don't know why it is not running like the other. water is flowing thru, I checked the hoses, so that is not the problem.

so if anyone knows what is the problem, I can use the help.

Other than that, all seem right on track.
Well here are some picturs, now realize I only have a camera phone, so the quality of the pictures are not so good.

Well there it is. Hope you all like it.

I tuned my dursos by a very gradual increase of hole size in the cap. Started with a very tiny hole and gradually drilled it larger until it was set just right for each side.

Looks pretty nice, Rena....congrats

Thanks for all the help, I wonder if I can claim research milage on my taxes this year.
I had this rock in a couple of other tanks, and just combined for this tank.
Oh Chad, I was worried I didn't have enough rock left. I enden up having to throw a bunch in the sump and back into the other tanks.
The sand also more than enough. So I ended up donating excess to a freind.
