birth of 2 builds totaling 30k gallons

[Dinnin]

Holy moly.... youll have more water at ome time in your skimmers than I will in my whole system... yeesh!

 

[jminick2]

pretty awesome build.

 

[hedgedrew]

Santa Monica. I'm going sulfur reactors and probably lathium drip just based on too much water volumes for gfo or scrubbers.

Hi Andrew,...did you say that you have done a fill tests yet? and how do you go about mixing as much salt with water that you will need when you do fill ? Thanks.

 

[hedgedrew]

Hey Rick. Oh ya big tank been tested while ago. Thee was tap water in there for 6 months before pumped out. The 2500 was recently re siliconed cause we changed glass. That has not been tested yet but it's one front plane I don't expect an issue. Most of the the piping and finish work around tanks are complete. I'm convinced I will have real salt water running within a month or two.

 

[hedgedrew]

As for salt the industrial ro DI machines direct feeds into huge vats in sub basement but I have access from them from top on main basement floor. The salt bags come from outside via elevator lift right to the tops of the chemi vats. How I am physically getting the salt in the vats I have least not given much thought to maybe big shovel and funnel ??? Not sure.

 

[007Bond]

Thanks Andrew,...I figured you would make use of some type of a elevator system to get items from your outside delivery area to the storage area,...I suppose Nyyalcin put his foot down on carrying 200gal boxes.

What are you going to use to mix the salt and water,...then does it go to an auto top off.

Its hard to imagine the logistics with your build.

 

[hedgedrew]

Forget 200 boxes. We going to use those big bags that aquariums use. At least for big tank. Big bags like that are either io or tropic Marin. Still considering using ESV upstairs I think they'll have them in 500 or 1000 gallons. We have two separate Chem vats so I could separate salt as well as one huge one for ro

Esv has 1000 gal boxes that's what I was buying when I was using esv

 

[hedgedrew]

Yes. And their factory is 5 mins away from me.

 

[SPotter]

Love the esv salt!

 

[hedgedrew]

Yes. Good salt. They have done a lot for me. And was very responsive redisigning their salt post initial triton tests

It's too bad you don't have a giant garden planned; the output of scrubbers make the best fertilizer you can get.

I am not sure about this. The salt content would kill many plants but the ones grow near the sea.

 

[SantaMonica]

Good point, for such a large amount. We've never had trouble with normal amounts for small trees and bushes.

 

[IRISSERVICE]

Very nice

 

[Remmers]

First I will say WOW

Second, Can I ask what you do for a living, as I want my kids to go to school for that line of work

 

[hedgedrew]

Remmers. I run a long short hedge fund in nyc. Keep your kids out. Too stressful and fees are probably due to compress and lots of bus failures with little to no terminal values Yes can make lot of money if your really talented and markets cooperate with your style.

You could always convert to forex everyone knows world markets are stable :deadhorse1:

 

[hedgedrew]

That would be manager style drift. No Bueno
