Everything made the trip home

[firebirdcrzy]

First off, I want to thank everyone who came out to help with loading yesterday. Everything made it home in one piece. We almost had a major dissaster as 1 on the ratchet straps came lose that held the tank to the cart, and the tank slid off the cart a few inches. Luckly the other strap held it enough to prevent it from completly sliding off. It was another long night, I think I hit the bed at 2am. The RBTA had finaly split in 2 by the time we made it back. The Clarkii is loveing it, she gets down between and under the two.

Glad that everthing got there without any problems. Can't wait to see the tank up and running.

Glad to hear it, and glad to hear you caught the tank with the other strap.

Let me know if you need anything.

It was a long day. I didnt get back to Springfield till like midnight. It was nice meeting you guys. Who wants to take bets on how long till this tank gets setup?

 

[firebirdcrzy]

I would watch your bets. The tank is all cleaned up and ready to go, rest of the equipment is taking a vinegar bath as we speak. I am getting a major itch to get this thing back up and running.

before cleaning and after. Got all pumps cleaned and looking new again. Decided to give the skimmer another 24 hours to soak. The itch is getting worse.

Don't have water in that yet ?

You throw Tommy in the tank to clean it?

I couldnt stop Tommy from spraying everything (including me) with the water house.

Landen, I got a few quick questions for you. First is about the kalk reactor, I take it it was fed fresh water via the tunze osmolator? Then there are two valves (see fist pic) one with the blue shut off valve and the other has the clear tubeing. Where do these two ports hook to?
Next is the co2 regulator (second pic). There are two ports on this as well, one one the lower left of the black controll switch and another comeing off the guages as a brass fitting. I know one of these two has to feed the calcium reactor but confused on why 2 ports.
Then in last pic you can see the panworld pump on calcium reactor. there is a black tube comeing off the manifold, I take it that was the feed line comeing from the Mag 7 in the sump? And the little black nipple is where co2 is feed in?
Thanks for any help on clearing this up for me.
