For all the decent, patient and loyal members of this community here is a brief update on todays activities. As noted in the last update a number of significant changes are taking place which has most of the fish room emptied into piles of clutter everywhere. The plumbing is being completely overhauled from top to bottom. None of the previous architecture is being retained either inside or outside the tank so Mr. Wilson is having a field day getting the best possible flow given the layout. I believe he is preparing updated schematics for the thread and I will be taking pictures as soon as there is enough to make sense.
The new expanded fish room has just been completed (one hour ago) and can now hold 4inches of water with integrity. We will be initializing the mars bars next week. We are looking at the equipment on the sled which at the moment is looking pretty lumpy as it is loosely piled for the moment. Again we are going to prepare schematics to document the flow through the filtration path for review and comment from this group.
The Bros Grimm took the new coarse sand and spent a good portion of the day washing it to get the nasty bits removed. They also made up enough salt water to keep the new sand ready to add to the display tank when needed. I did take some pics and will post them soon.
There was a lot of activity here today and I probably missed some in this update so I will let Mr. Wilson fill in the blanks when he has a chance.
