DasCamel's 375 DT build. What could go wrong?

Still waiting on the live web cam. You could have stayed in bed and saw it if you had one. HAHAHAHA
 
Stop inspiring the laziness before my wife takes another nut!

I did extend the weir slits though, not pretty but it should work. If it doesn't just going to cut all the teeth out and put on debris net and be done with it.
 
HAHAHAHA... I agree.. that is why I am divorced... Joking... got divorced before the tanks. HAHAHA..

Keep the updates coming. Glad to see all the work and updates!
 
She's great, excited to see our fish in there. :) Goal is to get Hydra 52's up in the next couple days. I'll probably add salt and start heating soon.

So the Gyre XF -280 is interesting. It really does push the flow across 8 ft. I really want a second one now. Maybe next Black Friday...

Build isn't complete by any means, but soon more than functional!
 
So true!

So true!

Is any build complete? Unless you are getting out that is.

Once it gets skinned, Apex hooked up, with the auto top-off and mixing station good to go. Back to regular hobby mode and enjoy the fish. :)

How about crazy maniacal mode to tinkering mode?

So 3d printing a custom PVC slip to connect 1.5" flex to the Jebao return pump. Off to the lights. My neck and back will hate me shortly.

On your RODI, do you have it setup as a double filter or a single filter ? Double ones can increase the output. Do you have a booster pump attached to the RODI ?
 
Nah, just single without a booster. Was dealing with other stuff, going to revamp the rodi setup in the future.

I did setup a heated bucket for the pretube. Going to change the sediment filter again today. I figure, should be close to done by Wed evening. I started a tank watching thread in the main reef section for the fill.

Printed a better final version, smoother snug like standard plumbing.

Just little water needed to clear the overflow and fill the sump. Tomorrow mid by day should be heated, salinity adjusted and ready to start transferring.

Maybe I misunderstood, but are you planning to get the salinity adjusted and then transfer fish in the same day? I would transfer some dirty media into sump along with some dirty water, let it fester for a week, and then do the transfer using as much of your original tank water as possible. It just makes me nervous to do it too quick. Anyway, just my opinion.
 
I already have everything cycled. Zero sand. Everthing in good condition. Still going to acclimate just because IO vs Reef Crystal's.
The live rock from the other tank, zero die off equals zero cycle... Yes. I'm that crazy. Well not really, already moved everything 1000 miles in a cooler... Theory is sound.

So the salinity is going to be spot on match after a little more water is added.

Bigger issue is the temp. I'm at 74.5 with a couple heaters. Heating that huge mass of water is slow. House temp is about 71.

So, no half measures.

So I added more heaters... Terminator approves of the extra energy after photo bombing.

The lights were a PITA. Found an air duct above a mount point. So, added a 2×4 across for now to bypass it. About to plug them in, need another circuit though. With all the heaters prolly trip a breaker...
