120G filling up!

Kind of hard to see, but this is an action shot of the dual float valve and latching relay kicking the RO/DI water back on once the water got below the lower float valve

Well the tank is officially filled and running. My Hofer gurglebusters were way too noisy, so I built some Durso standpipes...MUCH better:

GOODBYE!!

I don't know if it was because the holes I drilled in the Hofer's were too small or what, but it gurgled and flushed no matter where I set them.

Also bent a mount for my ATO out of some acrylic. Turned out pretty well. This picture doesn't show the final product; I'll try and get more pics up tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been pretty slow going.

I finally transfered over the fish and eel to the 120G tank. My ATO is working flawlessly so far. Even the RO/DI reservoir auto top off is working great. Making at 15 gallons of RO/DI water every week or so.

Still trying to get my skimmer dialed in. 2 weeks after I set it up and started running it overflowed terribly and got water all over the place. Of course I was out of town when it happened.

Fortunately we came back the same day it overflowed so it wasn't TOO bad. My Leakfrog sounded TIRED when we walked into the house; like it had been screaming for a couple of hours.

Glad I installed the shower lining in my stand!

The skimmer is pulling some good wet skimmate, but I think I'd like to dry it out a bit.

I think the eel likes the camera!
